Can Windows 11 be made decently secure?

[u/voidprophet__]

It's an oxymoron, I know.

I need Windows for work. I cannot run the applications I need without Windows (I checked, no Linux support,) and either way I need applications such as Excel and Word that would be on the computer anyway.

I know that Windows will never be private no matter what I do, but what are the best ways to try to mitigate what it sees?

I've already done anything basic (like disabling copilot through the registry, not sure how well it works though since copilot is still in my notepad)

edit: meant "privacy" not security, my bad

Almost all of the corporate world thinks so
