Yeah one would thing there would be some way to fudge this outside EEA at least since the functionality exist within windows now (both 10 and 11). How it works is that you can uninstall the edge app itself, and there is a separate edge webview thing that is kept on the system in the app list that can't be uninstalled, presumably for the system functions that still need an embedded web view.
@@lussor1 I think Microsoft has not apply any official way to uninstall Edge. I know there's an EU regulation but MS has not do anything, as far as I know.
I spent the $10 to support this for the executable not because I need it as an executable but this is one of those tools I never want to see go and I have no regrets supporting it. This is an amazing utility, thanks for all the hard work on it from you and the contributors.
A big hug from a humble content creator and psychologist from Brazil. The number of times it has made my use of the PC easier, more practical and faster is countless. You are incredible.

@@PR-cj8pd Does any of this actually stop the core spyware that in build into windows? from my understanding windows update would have to be removed in order to accomplish that.
@@copiuum what are you talking about, of course windows is "closed source". the source code is not available to the public. that is by definition proprietary, or "closed source" software. so is the vast majority of mainstream software that is popular. the average person runs a proprietary ("closed source") operating system, and runs proprietary programs on it, like google chrome, microsoft office, adobe, discord, steam, 99.999 percent of any game ever made, and so on. the average person lives a completely proprietary computing life
Thank you so much Chris. I use win 11 in a recording studio. Windows can be set up in 2 hours - all the other stuff takes 2 years, so if MS buggers around with my system, unless I can re install from a disk image - I'm screwed. Since you gave me the ability to lock down the system, I was always at their mercy. Now I can strip-down windows the the very basics and it just works - every day! Thanks
This has been one of my favourite tools for like 2 years now, every single Windows install I perform (ive done hundreds the past 2 years), every machine that needs a kick of life, this has been a gem
I just did a clean install for Windows 10 and this helped a lot! Being able to install a lot of software quickly with just a few clicks it's a huge time saver. The only problem I had is that it installed Firefox in japanese for some reason, I just uninstalled it and manually got it from their website, everything else was fine.
This is really cool :) I really like the import/export JSON option. A roadblock I sometimes encounter when I feel the need to refresh my system is a worry that I have to remember all by base 'must-haves' :D
I wasn't using it because I didn't mind for the tweaks and don't want to run into problems. But the fact you can check boxes and put it as a json for an import later in case you get a new pc or format... that's just amazing!
I prefer other operating systems, but like so many folks I have to use Windows for some things. Thank you for this utility. It makes taming Windows a breeze and makes my Windows experience as FOSS/Linux-like as possible.
Thanks Chris. I've used this for quite a while and bought the exe wrapper last year. This script makes Windows almost usable for a 25+ year Linux user and 10+ year macOS user.
You HAVE to if you want to play any games. Proton doesn't work on anything thats not a Steam Deck. idc what anybody online says or has working... You just need to dual boot...
@@VioFax This is not factually correct. I got a lot of games working through proton. But I would agree that it would be much simpler to just game on Windows, at least for now.
@@VioFaxlol. you're wrong. Unless you try to play some pirated games or sth. Otherwise, Steam and proton works on most modern distro that carry BOTH lib32 and lib64 and one just follows Steam installation instruction. Other than that, to make it even easier, use Steam flatpak, you don't even need lib32 on host AT ALL. I use Arch, fefora, Ubuntu, Debian, and I use flatpak Steam. And out of 500+ games I own on Steam, minimum 400+ works when you press Play
Bought the exe a couple years ago, well worth it. I followed a few of his videos , and alone they improved my system greatly. Happy to support Chris and his amazing work and with the growing community of people that can actually figure out the technical details , it’s really awesome. Thank you Chris for all of your generosity and all the help over the years and the updates. My stripped down version of win 10 runs so great I’ve been afraid to do my usual yearly fresh install , lol.
This app changed the game for me at work. It took working on machine optimizations from 3 to 4 hours down to 30 mins to an hour depending on the hardware.
Just came here to say THANK YOU. I've used the tool once couple years ago and forgot about it, thanks to you now I will add this to start each windows installation.
Hello, can you add a feature for a pure gaming system? Like remove everything that we dont need for gaming for example disable services that we dont need for pure gaming. Or some low system latency tweaks. Thanks for all your work!
I am not ashamed or embarrassed to admit that I cried a little bit after using this. I built my first PC four months ago, explicitly to use unreal engine blender because I am a Fortnite Creator, who recently finished school to learn how to use unreal engine to build my own video game someday. Windows 11 has caused me so much stress as well as Microsoft constantly breaking my programs, shutting my computer down updating things ruining things and for someone like me that’s not well-versed in how to do things with computers some days I literally felt like I might actually take my own life out of pure frustration and the fear of losing my job. It wasn’t until someone recommended your channel to me that for the first time in several months, I feel relaxed. My computer runs at the speed I thought it would be capable of when I bought all the components for it, but it actually runs much faster than that shockingly so. So seriously a huge thank you to you. I cannot begin to express in my limited vocabulary just how much this means to me and how much this has helped thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.❤

@@justoneweek6983 not really sure, i followed @khorvietech video for FPS related tweaks, which boosted FPS a pretty decent amount. I use this more for quality of life tweaks, installing stuff, etc. because its really good for that stuff. Like for example the only way i install java anymore is using this script cuz minecraft needs like 4 different versions of java depending on what version or modpack you're playing.
@@Extreme-PCIe-Cable You won't know when to use them. I use google maps and google earth and it doesn't work properly. Good thing is I have a restore point to restore the settings.
I can't use any brand new windows install without following your installation tips and using your utility, the fact that is free feels like a scam (please keep it free, it was just a commentary not a petition)
Wish that Microsoft or devs make a special version of the Windows focused on gaming performance as lean as possible, with minimal telemetry and CPU consumption.
Thank you SO much for this!! We had an older HP that was basically unusable due to all the extra garbage trying to run, and it's running so much better now!
Dude, you are a legend. I have 81 processes running on Win 11 after those essential tweaks. I still have EPOS Sennheiser open and Norton firewall (AV disabled while gaming). That was literally 50 processes cut off. Bravo 👏
Huge thanks for not only creating an amazing tool, but also taking the time to do a video walkthrough!!! Now my laptop works like it should have when new.
I just ran the utility on my gaming PC and the processes went down from around 270 to 140. I can absolutely feel the difference. I'm going to try a fresh install tomorrow and see if I can get the processes down even further. I used the $10 exe. It is 100% worth the money and I'm happy to support the work that went into it.
I have been using this tool with every single windows installed for my own, family or friends for the last three years, if you see any computer where I've ever been, you will find this in the history of the powershell
I'm too scared to use all of the debloating features since the last time I did it made my windows behave very weirdly. However, doing the bare minimum worked great.
Made my own fork and customized the programs that it can install, some are broken for some reason I don't understand, but overall it's extremely quick to install the bulk of my program needs. Those broken programs are a quick and dirty job afterwards anyway, but overall when I do a clean install this saves me at least a couple hours.
That new O&O pop up is really great, love having that agency for..everything but also to ensure nothing can go wrong. This utility is absolutely amazing at making windows so much less bloated. The only thing i've noticed in both of my quite powerful rigs, is that after i run them for the first time, in regards to tweaks, some games like WoW will (rarely) have weird network issue like, basically being stuck like waiting for like 10-15 secs to get a response from the server (on a fiber connection, 5800x and 7950x3D CPUs, there are no slouches in handing...WoW) and then everything comes up all together in the screen and mashes up in an accelerated way, and again, this only happens after i run the script on said PCs for the first time, i have never experienced this on any installation which i have not applied the script and since building and fixing PCs is my job you understand in how many other PCs i've tested this, thousands in fact, so, does anyone know if the script changes something with the network somehow and causes that phenomenon to happen because as it is running the tweaks some times i see ti setting a network related value from zero to an astronomical value and i wonder if it's related to that, maybe it's just completely unrelated tbh. Thanks to anyone contributing to the script by the way, sincerely.
I ran the script yesterday after updating my windows 10 home. After restarting my pc I found that copilot had disappeared. I checked the cause and found the following registry keys: 'HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Copilot\CopilotDisabledReason' value is 'IsDisabledbyMDMFailed'. I Tried changing the registry values but every time explorer restarts, the value reverts back to the previous one.
I love this project. It makes life so much easier, not just with a new install, but getting a system that's been up and running for awhile running better. Thanks Chris!
Hello. In regards to the utility improvements, I want to ask you to *clearly label shareware\trial software* in the list of installs. Like StartAllBack, for example, which has a 100 day trial period.
i find it was more Powerfull before. There are alot more Processes staying working in background than in the version before. It would be nice to have a page with all Services on the System listed and explained. And it would be also nice to have a tool that tells me which Programm on my Computer could need which service. Its still not perfect. But i really love the project and im using it all the time and also contributed ! Thanks for your amazing Videos and Work!
@ChrisTitusTech Chris I want to thank you for all your hard work. I also want to thank the others that has contributed to this open source / wrapper. Thank you each and everyone.
Hello! Would be great if You can add in Legacy Windows Panels: Desktop icon settings. Because this option disabled on non activated Windows. how to enter manual- control desk.cpl,,0 into Run (Win+R), and click/tap on OK to directly open Desktop Icon Settings. Thanks, great app!
Chris I have a question, I am using the latest dev build of Windows. After they released 11 LTSC, I would like to switch my update channel to that. But for sure Windows doesnt let me to switch that channel, is it possbile with your software to change update channel ? So I can change my Windows version without reinstalling.
I use this tool on every windows install which i made. Great job and thank you for making it. Also thanks to everyone who participated. One suggestion. if you already not recommend to do removal of all Microsoft apps make options where someone can choose which one want to remove
Just disable everything associated with edge my windows 10 pro laptop has been fine for over a year now, it's technically still there but even if I try lol it won't run because I've disabled anything associated with it. Oh I also went into the C drive edge folder and started deleting random files, some didn't let me remove but enough I got to delete so it's impossible to run now. I'm a newbie mate so im sure I'm not the first to do this. Even done a few fresh installs and I do the same thing and 10 pro runs fine
Ok there are allegedly reports of third party apps that are flagged that wont install with that version of Win11 but to (imply all) EXE files wont is something that needs to be seen and sourced. I dislike Microsoft as much as anyone but that's a huge charge that should be talked about.
I probably format my Windows installation once a month. Thank you for saving my hand from worsened carpal tunnel. Keep up the great work, brother. God bless you!
Since you deleted my question on the other video, but how do we deal with the Trojan Horse thing which my Bitdeffender is getting when i want to start the module online? Recent Edit: minutes after my comment i tried running the script again and it ran! It was all fine upgrading, then went into tweeks, did the running of that as well and there was a new TROJAN in there! It finished and closed automatically :) Any way might be worth cheking into it
I love the automated part that was added I use it all the time I saved a profile for laptop or desktop. One simple command and done it's such a time saver.
I love the script, but there's one thing I don't know how to tweak. Every time I run it the widget taskbar icon shows up again. Can be that solved or changed?
Chris I just used it the other day and a big thanks for releasing it for free. Could you add to have the rounded windows in win 11 removed, please. Correction thanks to all that have made this project and contributed to it!!!! Info for you guys on edge removal, Native Instruments StudioVerse Instruments Stereo needed edge run time webview I had to reinstall it after I used your program to remove edge. You might want to have a separate check box to reinstall it. You gotta love Windows, utilities and more utilities to fix an OS. LOL.
Updating every program I have in 2 click is actually insane. I also really love that you added the official url so you always have the source of the apps you're installing. I'm so glad that I'm in this community.
Not exactly required, but a couple things that would make this tool even better: Memory testing utilities Hard Drive Testing, such as CryDiskInfo MediCat (yes it's HUGE, but honestly, if you are using CTT tools, you should really have this in your toolkit!) NTLite, and Rufus ZeroTier (for the Networking/Security side of things) Whatever the DSIM utility is, I forget the name.
I can honestly say I use this EVERY time I reinstall windows. It saves me so much time. I was making scripts and stuff before to do all of this but you put it into one simple tool where I can just click what I want and be done with my day. I do uninstall edge though because GROSS.
I just found out about this utility from an article talking about staying away from custom ISOs and to debloat after the fact. Awesome find! Also the way I chuckled so hard when you said Microsoft is on this "green kick or whatever" haha. I mean I get it, but I also like max performance from the expensive machine I built, tyvm. Keep up the great work!
I'm so excited for that MicroWin. Been looking around the internet for something like that for quite a while now. That's gonna be one of my Main tools for experimenting builds.
I love the possibility to look at the registry/command. I also love the selection of tools like simplewall and easy way how to get there. I also love the ISO compiler. It is great thing.
Chris, you rock! Keep up the good work! As Windows progressively gets worse, you get better! Thank you!!! This app has saved me a ton of time! Manually doing the installs and tweaks is a serious effort that no one wants to go through!
It's like from the Get go Chris, The explanation's of how Windows / Linux works from you particularly, inspire an honesty and Trust that is always a shady area when dealing with such complexity for a User / Novice who could never grasp in reality. Thanks
Honestly, this app was a total game changer for me. THANK YOU.

It would be nice to have a page with all Services on the System listed and explained. And it would be also nice to have a tool that tells me which Programm on my Computer could need which service. Its still not perfect.
But i really love the project and im using it all the time and also contributed !
Thanks for your amazing Videos and Work!
@ChrisTitusTech
Chris I want to thank you for all your hard work. I also want to thank the others that has contributed to this open source / wrapper. Thank you each and everyone.
Hello!
Would be great if You can add in Legacy Windows Panels: Desktop icon settings.
Because this option disabled on non activated Windows.
how to enter manual-
control desk.cpl,,0 into Run (Win+R), and click/tap on OK to directly open Desktop Icon Settings.
Thanks, great app!
Thanks Chris, I've been using it for quite sometime and it saves so much time when reinstalling windows!!!
Chris I have a question, I am using the latest dev build of Windows. After they released 11 LTSC, I would like to switch my update channel to that. But for sure Windows doesnt let me to switch that channel, is it possbile with your software to change update channel ? So I can change my Windows version without reinstalling.
Like and comment to bring the comment up
I use this tool on every windows install which i made. Great job and thank you for making it. Also thanks to everyone who participated.
One suggestion. if you already not recommend to do removal of all Microsoft apps make options where someone can choose which one want to remove

What specifically breaks if I remove Edge?
I would love to uninstall it!
Just disable everything associated with edge my windows 10 pro laptop has been fine for over a year now, it's technically still there but even if I try lol it won't run because I've disabled anything associated with it. Oh I also went into the C drive edge folder and started deleting random files, some didn't let me remove but enough I got to delete so it's impossible to run now. I'm a newbie mate so im sure I'm not the first to do this. Even done a few fresh installs and I do the same thing and 10 pro runs fine
The storage sense bug was something I reported in Issues and am happy to see og-mrk could fix :D
With the new 24H2 update not allowing you to install .EXE files this is a lifesaver
Sorry what??? You cant install .exe files now??
Why won't I update to win 11, sh*t like this^^^
Wait really? Is that a bug or they made it that way?
Ok there are allegedly reports of third party apps that are flagged that wont install with that version of Win11 but to (imply all) EXE files wont is something that needs to be seen and sourced. I dislike Microsoft as much as anyone but that's a huge charge that should be talked about.
@@StephenStine is it possible the op is talking about S mode?
I probably format my Windows installation once a month. Thank you for saving my hand from worsened carpal tunnel. Keep up the great work, brother. God bless you!
Since you deleted my question on the other video, but how do we deal with the Trojan Horse thing which my Bitdeffender is getting when i want to start the module online?
Recent Edit: minutes after my comment i tried running the script again and it ran! It was all fine upgrading, then went into tweeks, did the running of that as well and there was a new TROJAN in there! It finished and closed automatically :)
Any way might be worth cheking into it
This is a very valid comment. Why is this guy ignoring it?
Although I've been monitoring your content about this utility for some time, this is the first time I've used it. Excellent work all!
He removed the Laptop option :(
it’s called ‘minimal’ now
I love the automated part that was added I use it all the time I saved a profile for laptop or desktop. One simple command and done it's such a time saver.
I love the script, but there's one thing I don't know how to tweak. Every time I run it the widget taskbar icon shows up again. Can be that solved or changed?
I'm looking into this. I absolutely hate the widget button and I get this done by the next update.
@@ChrisTitusTech 👾🤘
Titus ! Outstanding, both yourself and your contributors can consider your tummies well and truly tickled, keep it up.
I fear that RUclips may take this video down as Microsoft's request. I will download this video right away.
lol wut pretty sure theres other videos about this and similar programs that are never taken down
Chris I just used it the other day and a big thanks for releasing it for free. Could you add to have the rounded windows in win 11 removed, please.
Correction thanks to all that have made this project and contributed to it!!!!
Info for you guys on edge removal, Native Instruments StudioVerse Instruments Stereo needed edge run time webview I had to reinstall it after I used your
program to remove edge. You might want to have a separate check box to reinstall it.
You gotta love Windows, utilities and more utilities to fix an OS. LOL.
This man single-handedly unfricked Windows
Thanks so much Chris - You’re the Best! Also thanks to all your contributors!
is this fre??
Yes it is
Yes open source
No you have to pay me 100 dollars a month to use
Bought this and love it! Subbed as well! I used to spend hours upon HOURS to tweak stuff to debloat windows but with dam thing it took seconds lol.
Wow, I never even knew this existed. Just bought the EXE wrapper to support the good work, you guys rock!
Updating every program I have in 2 click is actually insane. I also really love that you added the official url so you always have the source of the apps you're installing.
I'm so glad that I'm in this community.
Not exactly required, but a couple things that would make this tool even better:
Memory testing utilities
Hard Drive Testing, such as CryDiskInfo
MediCat (yes it's HUGE, but honestly, if you are using CTT tools, you should really have this in your toolkit!)
NTLite, and Rufus
ZeroTier (for the Networking/Security side of things)
Whatever the DSIM utility is, I forget the name.
I can honestly say I use this EVERY time I reinstall windows. It saves me so much time. I was making scripts and stuff before to do all of this but you put it into one simple tool where I can just click what I want and be done with my day. I do uninstall edge though because GROSS.
I used it yesterday and WOW! Would it be underestimating the creature to call it 'the goat'?
You're doing it splendorous Titus, best wishes!
I've not tried microwin because I don't want to go to windows 11, but I'll probably give it a try when windows 10 reaches EOL pretty soon.
I just found out about this utility from an article talking about staying away from custom ISOs and to debloat after the fact. Awesome find! Also the way I chuckled so hard when you said Microsoft is on this "green kick or whatever" haha. I mean I get it, but I also like max performance from the expensive machine I built, tyvm. Keep up the great work!
I always pull up this script when I install a windows VM, makes it so nice and clean, thank you so much!
I'm so excited for that MicroWin. Been looking around the internet for something like that for quite a while now. That's gonna be one of my Main tools for experimenting builds.
Thanks Chris - i also use the Utility all the time
Please continue your efforts. I would like to express my gratitude to you and all contributors who have made this possible.
Keep up the good work. Best 10 I ever spent. Not needed, but great to have readily available.
I love the possibility to look at the registry/command. I also love the selection of tools like simplewall and easy way how to get there. I also love the ISO compiler. It is great thing.
Thank you and the community for all of your hard work!
Love this tool! Congrats on your well deserved success. I hope this project of yours keeps going strong for years to come. Cheers!
Chris, you rock! Keep up the good work! As Windows progressively gets worse, you get better! Thank you!!! This app has saved me a ton of time! Manually doing the installs and tweaks is a serious effort that no one wants to go through!
I used to manually do a lot of these tweaks like verbose messages etc on each install! Amazing app!
Hands down best util, been using it for years now :)
Nice to see it evolve over the years
Great work Chris
It's like from the Get go Chris, The explanation's of how Windows / Linux works from you particularly, inspire an honesty and Trust that is always a shady area when dealing with such complexity for a User / Novice who could never grasp in reality. Thanks
THANK YOU. You changed the way i use windows
