I have disabled Windows updates and disabled outbound connections to their servers so I'm still using fairly old Win10 install.
If I ever had to update I would make sure all of my connection blocks were in place and I would enable all privacy settings and disable all telemetry updates and services.
To further increase my privacy I would do a few things:
1) Routinely shred all my cache directories where some telemetry data is stored before being transferred.
2) Delete all registry entries pertaining to telemetry or caching (see my thread on Windows locations to wipe:

3) Rely in virtual operating systems and vpns for accessing/transferring sensitive data from local and external sources.
