Your options if you wish to stick with Windows:
Windows 10 LTSC (massgrave activators and has a guide for getting an ISO for it) which means a reinstallation (best option with Windows, least enshittification, still keep security updates but have to back up your stuff and reinstall everything) though this may not be a long-term plan if you play video games as I expect many places may drop Windows 10 support by 2028-29 end of ESU rather than 2032 end of LTSC support.
Windows 11 but change to LTSC (massgrave can do this)
Windows 11 but change to Enterprise license (massgrave can do this) and use Windows Group Policy settings to set target for updates to the current OS build version number which will delay feature updates for I believe up to 6-12 months but allow you immediate security updates. Bad news is you still get the new "features" but good news is they're delayed significantly and maybe by the time you have to "upgrade" Microsoft has tweaked them to be moderately less bad and much less buggy.
Whats this massgrave thing?
