sry @Pickles89 but you will need to do some homework. It's inevitable, as much as the whole Forum would want to help you, we're not the helpdesk.The system is purposedly designed to be unwieldy and confusing and it's more than just usual MS incompenetce.
For the beginning:
to have ability to disable some processes and services you need to have got Administrator level of access. Hit WIN+R and type "runas /user:Admin taskmgr" if you want to kill some processes (or see these which are normally hidden).
To disable OneDrive integration you need to get into system setting. [

Disabling Cortana has become trickier since 2020 (thanks MS!) [

If you do not use Dropbox (and you really should not) just uninstall the dropbox entirely instead playing with services.
In general - go to the settings and uninstall everything you do not need or you do not use. Just do not uninstall GPU drivers or drivers for specific hardware of your machine (camera, touchpad etc.). Anything which you do not use belongs to the rubbish can.
Making Windows 10 somewhat usable is a rather tedious and time consuming process (and needs constant repeating); fortunatelly there are people who got the job done already for the average Joe. [

Proceed with caution though, and read the stuff from top to bottom.
