huh, it gives you the option to disable this stuff and says it isnt recommended but lets you do it, you dunk on it for it doing that then suggest another tool that also lets you disable those same things.. im so confused
Prior to a semi-recent update, turning off defender was mandatory to install Atlas. This was changed after the community asked for it, because windows is horrifically insecure otherwise
I'm confused. It reccomended that you keep WD on, you chose to disable it in the installer, then dunked on them for having it off?
2:26 the installer requires you to disable Defender (as it may interfere with the installation process). It should probably ask the user after install if they want to re-enable Defender.
@@tercmdis that not what it does here: 2:56?
@@vinceontheweb sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to 2:26
The installer requires you to disable defender (the option doesn't effect that), what the option does is it allows you to renable it after installing.
I showed the option off because it is the main tweak that will make atlas faster than say CTT's tool, and is also very dangerous for security. I was curious how much of an impact it would have.
Almost any cheat in the market for any game requires you to disable windows defender.
isn't meltdown and spectre a thing to worry about?
Ok, so you just downloaded shady "valorant hack" to show us how disabled by you Windows Defender doesn't work, because it's disabled? And you recomended other tool for similiar purpose, only because it's you used it few times and this tool didn't break your computer? I hope you also used Atlas without disabling the antivirus, and also have any experience. Running an unknown script in powershell with (but also without) permissions is just as dangerous as the installation process you showed at the beginning.
I didn't have a more well disguised sample on hand. I just wanted to quickly find somethign to showcase dangers of running without AV.
On the script argument, you are correct, although one difference is Chris Titus' script does not require the temporary disabling of defender (at the beginning). If you fully disable defender and run a program as administrator it can do absolutely anything. You should always read any script before running if it's from an untrusted source.
The CTT script does not require disabling defender I used it so many times
When you install any playbook it always asks to turn of windows defender and when you done after the install windows defender is broken and does not turn on sooo not the guys fault
@@zakariya2011_ It does when you download a playbook
so you click the option to disable windows security when it's not even the recommended option
then complain that it's insecure...
Hi, AtlasOS owner and developer here. Updates should work fine. The error was likely caused by the malware shutting down Windows Update's services. About UAC with secure desktop, UAC is easily bypassable on administrator accounts regardless, so secure desktop isn't really too functional for security. Defender, mitigations, automatic updates, and much more are all togglable post-install in the Atlas folder on the desktop. We have documentation on this, so users are be able to make Atlas as secure as stock Windows.
Agreed.
This video is a joke.
Thanks for all of your hard work.
@@CrossUnityfr
Thanks for your hard work. This video is a joke and says “it’s not secure” even though he is CHOOSING to disable defender AV system wide
You say that AtlasOS is insecure, but you disabled the thing that makes it secure? If you kept it on the recommended setting to keep Windows Defender, then Defender would have caught the malware (assuming Defender knew it was malware to begin with, and if it didn't then a normal Windows machine could also be infected as well). Chris Titus WinUtil is fine, I've used it, but it's just a bunch of random scripts put together instead of a playbook which is all json and easier to tell what actually happens in the process
yeah. This video is a dumb joke! it is recommended to enable WD and he just disables it and complain about not turning it on while he turned it off. He even downloaded a Valorant Hack Client Malware just to show that this system is vulnerable and can be hacked while he just disabled defender.

@@Cakeytoo You got it wrong! AME Wizard gives you options to choose if you want to keep WD or disable it. It doesn't mess with the Security if you turn on the WD. Disabling it does destroy Security that doesn't mean you can not recover it. In Atlas>Security you can reconfigure your Security features using the following powershell Atlas put and you said not the guy fault? AME wizard asked him to enable WD did he do it? No, he just disables it and later on showed a valorant rat hack client that is a virus and windows does not detect it and he excused saying Windows Defender was destroyed but the one who destroyed was him.
@@Cakeytoo In the video it literally says "Windows Defender Enabled (Recommended)". Many people have working defender using this software
Can you check saturn swapper please?
Is there any way to revert Atlas once you have done it ?
okay, great. I don't see how that retains to atlas. you are calling atlas bad because it introduces security risks that are 100% optional and you chose to enable. Any OS is a security risk if you disable WD and turn off AU, that isn't atlas specific. I fail to see your point as to why atlas specifically is the problem.
When you install any playbook it always asks to turn of windows defender and when you done after the install windows defender is broken and does not turn on sooo not the guys fault
@@Cakeytoo okay, but if it's any playbook then it's still not atlas specific?
@@Cakeytoo nope that doesnt happen to me
@@Cakeytoo windows blocks most tweaks, its propably due to a false positive, later in the atlas installer you literally have the option of enabling windows defender and that option is recommended
@@Cakeytoo you're brain dead, that's before you actually install atlas
3:01 Aren't AtlasOS was recommending you to enable defender? you just disable defender now after that complaining about not keeping the defender and deleting the Virus & Threat Protection. I don't think it is valid excuse to show It's a bad mod. AME Wizard recommends you to disable security in first just because Windows does not allow you to do modding its settings that is why we need to disable security so it doesn't interfere our mod installation. You also even turn off AU, I don't think it is valid problem. Also, If you go in Atlas>Security you will have the option to re-enable the security features. This video is just a dumb joke to accuse AtlasOS. I also even use AtlasOS and I am happy with it.
When you install any playbook it always asks to turn of windows defender and when you done after the install windows defender is broken and does not turn on sooo not the guys fault
ITS NOT THE GUYS FAULT
Dude, do you even know how AME Wizard works?? Ok, I get it you are saying that disabling WD and installing after that it gets broken right??
Now hear my reason, AME Wizard IS required to disable WD that's because WIndows does not allow it enhance it tries to block the modding.
At first what you do is disable right and it detects if it is activated or not? You clicked next and you see the configure button you clicked it and disabled Windows Defender after that blah blah installed it and saw that Windows Defender is gone now what would you do? Will you blame on Atlas or yourself to disabling the Windows Defender in the configure section. Atlas OS playbook literally asked you to choose the one you like. It just do its thing. You choose the one he would do the one you asked for. Now, what would you do and this guy reasoning invalid with no proof. Even disabling AU and literally just blamed on AtlasOS. He even said that UAC prompt does not come out. Just go to search type UAC and reset the options to get the prompt. your reasoning is not also valid. AME Wizard just do its thing what the user asked for. Not to completely destroy your computer as like you are saying it has its brain.
@ecartman71 I'm able to enable defender again after installing. How does AtlasOS delete defender? It works for me
@@Cakeytoo im using the nexus liteos,after the installation i dont have the windows defender and just update the windows and then i works perfectly like a magic!idk does atlas os do for the windows defender but you can use another anti-virus like avas,kasperky,.. its free and easy to use!
Bro these peoples are braindead,they dont know what a virus is+ how ame wizard works@@lerelis_
I had atlas os for a little and it was good. I liked the look and feel of the os and I never had any issues with the anti virus stuff. I was able to turn back on stuff like auto updates later and I just used malware bytes. Windows defender doesn’t like when an app changes system files so it needs to be off for the start. What he did which was not the right move was telling atlas os to disable defender at 2:56 which he didn’t have to do. That option is only there if you have your own antivirus and it even says that keeping the antivirus is recommended.
is there away to revert Atlas ?

don’t use it, you will not receive any new windows features to system components that can add more security and performance improvements
you will be stuck with a system that get new features only in 4 to 4 years
making your system always outdated when comes to security and performance
using iot enterprise 21h2 (w11) its been great. 21h2 doesnt get security updates anymore since last year september but iot enterprise (21h2) still does until close to 2025. At somt point there will be a 21h2 LTSC w11, that means security updates until 2030+

You can just use NTLite to make a custom ISO

i am a user of atlas os and atlas remove the possibilty of reset my pc! there isn't the option reset in the options
id think itd be more beneficial to edit registry's and list what you did and where the file path exists for future editing. You're able to edit the telemetry and all through it.
AME wizard is open source but only cli version. GUI version is not. And It is wired that only link from their documentation moves you to their updated source code. The link from main website is moving you to their outdated repo
ReviOS gives u options to turn AV on or off.
didnt atlast 2, im really confused on what the point was
Atlas too. God people are so borked
Why use the "Processes" view of the Task Manager and not the "Details" or even use the Resource Monitor instead of the Task Manager? Wouldn't that give you a better overview?
Doesn't matter much for me when the first step is "Install Win11" nothxbai lol
Eric Parker can you tell if cs2 Aimstar cheat is a virus or a rat
lol
its opensource...
"I already did it, can't and won't revert it"
when I downloaded it I couldnt even reinstall windows 11 so after a update I installed windows 10 and also windows defender was gone I had to reinstall it but never worked also explorer was gone it was replaced by startallback that wasnt that good if you want atlas os use windows 10 it have like a year left and after that probably windows 12 will be realesed so you can use windows 12.
I heard of this a few years back and it used to come with an ISO
3:08 You should definitely leave that on. I believe it is disabling mitigations for spectre and meltdown.
Might aswell just use Linux or Windows IoT LTSC instead of an internet iso

my experience with ctt tool:
It was pretty good for first few weeks and then the errors started arising
1. Winget package gets broken for no reason
2. Windows just refuse to load/crash sometimes ( error code : video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error )
3. Some packages won't update and still use the older version
4. eventually gets buggy ( ik, blame windows but certain apps like terminal won't bother opening in some cases which is annoying )
Since three month atlas do an perfect Job to my beast PC
it's one of the best playbooks i've ever tried and love their open-source nature as anyone can contribute to the project. but i'm currently taking a break from it and using revios which gives almost the same performance as atlas but performs better in some games i play.

The reason they disable that stuff is so it don't run while game playing. The entire reason for having a box like this is just for gaming. You don't go on the net with it for surfing or downloading or anything else you just connect to the net for gaming.
Gamers always want more games and fps and some of then are stupid and would click the first link that google gives as a "steam download" when its a virus
atlas is fine. meant for gaming not security. also u can turn it back on in a folder. The os is completely fine and its completely only meant for gaming. for people who prioritize games and only games, (no cheats etc) this is fine. If you are using cheats, atlas breaks many things. if a person is using shady valorant cheats (not known to be legit in the community) then they themselves are already screwing them selves up. Im not necessarily saying I disagree with you but I think many of the points your making don't align with atlas's targeted use case. Overall great video but I do disagree with alot of your points. The title is also quite misleading, saying that you shouldnt use atlas when in reality its completely fine but it's up to the user with what they do with it.

isn't Atlas open-source? it also has the part where it allows you to keep security features.
No it's fucking not, windows is closed source, atlas "open source" is just fucking bloat they included, oh and btw they could even hide a spyware in that os without telling you❤

@jamesbrendan5170 atlas is not open source, and it is truly a shitty OS for daily use, it's even missing critical system files
nah it's safe, me and my friend been using this os for almost 2 years
This is why you dualboot, so you have one OS for pure gaming, that's stripped from almost everything like Defender and such, and other Windows thats for everything else.
Also another thing is, when you are dualbooting, you have option to disable SSDs, so if lets say you have 2 physical SATA3 SSDs, A and B, and lets say A is your stripped windows, and B is bloated[default] one. You can disable specific SATA port that your B Windows is running on, which means if you get compromised while playing on your stripped OS, you won't be affected, your main SSD [B] will not get compromised, and then once you decide to go back from stripped OS to main, you can turn off the SSD thats your stripped OS on, and by doing this, you can have best of both worlds.
If Atlas OS it self is hijacked they would bypass any such thing with full access beyond os settings no? These custom OS mods for windows are dumb and dont provide any real measurable impact unless your playing games with a machine that should be used for games to begin with.
If you have a compromised os on dualboot it can just mount the other drive and inject, or extract files to/from it

Jeez... jokes aside. Just cant believe that RUclips description is your go-to place to get virus sample... Also dont know about there is size limit of sample submit on virustotal. You dont need a system installer size of file to contain a virus or malware bro.
llevo usando atlas 1 año y la ultima version 0.4.0 funciona a la perfeccion,veo que hay personas que dicen que solo es efectiva para usuarios de pc de gama baja,pero no es asi,lo que nos brinda es un fps bajo bastante decente y una fluidez increible y esto sirve para cualquier pc de cualquier gama,ademas yo siempre dejo defender activado despues de la intalacion e incluso realizo un escaneo y no detecta malware,concluciones,este video me parese engañoso porque pienso que intenta hundir a atlas sin pruebas especificas,para darle promocion al script de Christ,es muy obvio.
Half the comments here dont understand the security structure, you baited the normies with the title.
just so you know, you need to disable defender during the installation because it modifies windows files and registry if defender left enabled it will interfere with it and not work properly, as most people also said you can reenable defender in the atlas folder and it's also recommended. i have no idea what or why are you accusing atlas for being a mod for hackers?
edit: I've been an atlasos user for a year, I've never had any problems with it no malware or anything trojan happened, one time i myself left defender disabled for a while and I've never gotten my computer hacked, if you got hacked while defender disabled that's your problem for installing random stuff on the internet, atlas shouldn't be held responsible if you installed something with defender off that's your problem
I've been running LTSC 2019 for 5 years with defender disabled. Ran a malwarebytes scan the other day out of interest and it found just 1 threat... Which was DefenderRemover from Github. Lol.
atlas os is perfectly safe it does what it says it gives you better performance also it has a antivirus on by default and if it wasnt it would not matter if you dont download random shit from the internet you dont need any pc protection
Atlas used to disyrobute a iso but because of microsoft licencing they had to stop i think
That’s Microsoft for ya.
@@WhoooshyYT that's not "microsoft for ya". that's "microsoft excercising their rights over their intellectual property"
That's very much how it should be.
I like your content but I don't get the point of this video as most of the "downsides" of atlas are optionnal and configurable.
Atlas is a very good production ready playbook to be honest, and they make it so the safest settings are recommended by default.
You talked a lot about disabling updates and what not, but you didnt talk about the option in chris titus' tool thats still gives you security patches, but delays non security updates... i feel like this video was not proper at all.
I don't know, why anyone would want to install valorant hacks or hacks in general 😂
this video is joke or what?
No you are Just too dumb
i really dont see what this video proves. yeah leaving defender disabled will leave ur pc vulnerable. who wouldve guessed
edit: funniest thing is the video u linked in the description, its tldr is that theres no performace impact on *modern hardware*. someone with older hardware could benefit from this (see 6:18).
And great vid love your content
AtlasOS doesn't delete windows defender and gives users option to disable/enable anytime. I manually deleted defender with another tool. Windows Updates just crap. I never use it, always delete it completely. It always install someting I dont want, always breaks some tweaks, always breaks drivers, and always breaks windows itself. Some day I was using pure vanilla win10 without any tweak and a new update came out. I installed it, rebooted the pc, and windows just broke itself. I never tried everything I know to fix it but didn't work and I had to reinstall windows >:(
@ecartman71 You've no idea what you're talking about, do you?
Yeah, you can easily break your OS with a typo or a misconfiged script. That happens. And you can usually also pretty easily recover from that manually, or by repairing or re-installing the system. By the way, if you still see a desktop with a trash bin, that's not remotely what "bricked" means. Bricked means it's FUBAR; won't work, won't start, can't even fix it. Like messing up a chip with a wrong firmware, or burning a chip with overvoltage, etc. That's pretty difficult to even accomplish with modern PCs, unless you're a total tool... or a professional.
And "this pile of shit" actually does improve performance compared to the vanilla Windows experience. It cuts running background processes by a half, disables a lot of unnecessary fluff, frees up a lot of RAM, and reduces the overall system footprint, freeing up resources for gaming etc. Yes, it disables drivers, so what? I've often manually disabled device drivers I do not want to use, because why not? Just because you type it in ALL CAPS doesn't make it worse, lol. And yes, Atlas adds not just a few, but a lot of tweaks, and yes, you can also do most of them manually. But that is really tedious and time-consuming process, and I can guarantee you'll end up just messing something up, and reinstalling.
So is Atlas perfect? No, of course not, it comes with some upsides and some downsides. Should you install it if you're worried about security or don't know what you're doing? Probably not. You should probably stick to what you know better, dabbling with playdough and eating poop.
windows distros 😂😂
Fr
You have deactivated all windows security measures on purpose. What you've done can be done on any version of Windows with or without AtlasOS... Configuring AtlasOS correctly is just as secure as Windows 11 (Okay maybe a little less secure, but still nothing like what this video shows). This video makes no real sense.
It's like reviewing two cakes and leaving one out in the rain for a week beforehand. Of course one will be better than the other...
This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Or he's deliberately setting the worst possible scenario for AtlasOS... but why?
people seem to be defending this steaming pile of shit because the security flaws can be resolved, completely ignoring the fact that it's completely useless and doesn't do anything to improve performance, no amount of software tweaks can re-write the source code for windows, the performance difference will be negligible, windows is fundamentally slow and no amount of dumb tweaks can do anything about that, this just does a few simple tweaks that anyone can do in windows anyway

Earlier, Windows Defender used to consume 20-30% of my resources every time I launched a third-party app. Now using Atlas for a year with few bugs and disabled services not commonly used by a regular user, I free dup 2GB of RAM in my 8GB RAM, 512MB iGPU laptop I can now play Valorant smoothly at 70+ FPS. Additionally, playing Forza Horizon, Destiny 2, xDefiant, CS:GO, and GTA 5, all thanks to the Atlas Os. Atlas operates on donations, is open-source, and comes with proper documentation.

Enable Defender (Recommended) -> Proceeds to Disable Defender, "I'm just gonna do it".
Enable Default Windows Mitigations (Recommended) -> Proceeds to Disable Mitigations, "I wouldn't actually worry too much about that".
Afterwards:
Proceeds to manually install shady hacks which contains malware. "Yeah, this is not a good idea".
Ok. You're absolutely right.
It's also not an accurate review how Atlas works or how vulnerable it is to security risks. Obviously software like Atlas comes with certain security risks, and you should only install it if you know what you're doing. But actively making it worse isn't quite realistic use case either.
the thing is, this type of program should only be ever used offline, like in an offline emulator only machine (gaming)
giving the option to disable any security feature to “gain” performance is just a lie… you should keep distance to any type of software that says this
remember, you do not need to install or run any unknown program to get infected, if you are online you are a target, see zero-click exploits…

Should I disable Defender? Depends on the user. For the average user who just uses PC to browse the web and has a good PC? No, certainly not. For gamers? May give a few more FPS but I don't think it's worth it. For experienced users who know exactly what they're downloading and executing and need a performance boost like my case? Yeah, I believe.
These tools might not be malicious, but usually even for a semi decent system, it won’t make a noticeable difference, however it is really a black box for an average user (gamer) with the promise of better performance. Also, removing Edge could also break for example WebView apps.

These people always use high-end computers and cannot understand how important FPS stability is for mid-range computer users. Especially in games like CS 2 and Valorant.

You had the choice to not disable defender. Edge, printing, and Bluetooth are services/programs that run 24/7 whether you use them or not.
You might want to delete defender to use a lighter weight antivirus for more performance.
You probably shouldnt install it but not because its insecure, but because its unreversible and dangerous for installs.
Tbh bluetooth is hit or miss bc of headsets/controllers. Depends wat u have if u want to disable them
You can use ltsc Iot 2021, instead of Atlas. that's just your choice though, as far i see, the guy that made this video doesn't prove anything.
>disables defender
>disables mitigations
>manually installs malware
>hurr durr guys it's unsafe!!?!
LMAO
@ecartman71 Evidence?
@ecartman71 Ah yes. Make claim, have zero evidence. Classic.
Atlas isn't any unsecure as Chris Titus's tool unless you specifically pick to disable Defender / Mitigations.
onedrive is useless, with all junk Windows provide 😂
Even if you don't turn WD off it still kind of breaks then normal windows
When you install any playbook it always asks to turn of windows defender and when you done after the install windows defender is broken and does not turn on sooo not the guys fault
I have gave this to all the idiots that don't understand how playbook's work
AME wizard does not touch the Security features until the user asked for. I am also using AtlasOS did it happen to me? I installed it with the same step. Didn't you just said that it gets broken??? I also disabled windows defender at first and turn it on in the configure section and choose what should I like. After that nothing goes wrong. I boot it up and see the WD is off so I turn it off it still working just fine and it is still keeping me safe.
I think your Windows is broken and it has nothing to do with Atlas.
windows defender isnt optimized, you should already install another antivirus
For security? That could be worth doing. An obvious benefit is that malware is less likely to try and hijack a 3rd party solution than defender.
Performance wise I spent some time testing this (might be worth a video), none of the popular AVs are meaningfully better in terms of hit.
When you install any playbook it always asks to turn of windows defender and when you done after the install windows defender is broken and does not turn on sooo not the guys fault
they break and then you can't turn it on or off I tried this on one of my old laptops I had reset the thing which was even harder then usual
@@EricParker It depends on what you're running on. You're never gonna notice it on high end systems, but lower end systems always get the CPU hammered by MsMpEng.exe and the high memory usage is also noticeable.
You know, windows defender is always annoying and terrible at protecting. Most of the detections happen after you launch the file, not before. Everyone hates WinDefender. Deleting it and installing a better AV is a much better idea. Also this an OS for gaming. No one wants the perf impact of that crappy microsoft AV.
I like it when windows defender opens zip bombs to remove them xd
sorry microsoft but im not switching to regular windows
Okay tbf to this dude I never use defender because it's actually terrible and it and a REAL AV would restrict what software you can use with scare tactics. Thus, I never use any and many people also follow the same logic. Plus, at the end of the day Windows 11 itself is an info stealer malware no matter how much telemetry you turn off. It's a bit of a moot point arguing if the stanky gamer OS mod that introduces actual security holes WITH all this on is malware or not. Its like arguing over whether a turkey is a turkey without it's snood.
So were in copper, bro does not know what he's talking about.
Bro, u r talking the most SHIT of all time
cry about it
I love my Atlas OS
nah screw that avast better
💀
@@Flopster101 what
At that point. Just use Linux. Please.
nope windows 10 works fine for me
can i run the adobe programs & all the other misc. programs i need for school & work? can i run all the games i want? u sound goofy writing this
Virtual machine @@rgnd
@@chillguy425 the games i want to play dont run on a vm cuz of their anticheat & vms are slower than bare metal. plus i dont want to boot a whole another os just to run some programs.
@@rgndits those programs that dont run on linux. Not linux’s fault. I have to launch an entire different os for some programs… and its those
this whole video has to be a troll bro wtf
Bro keep saying about viruses, but disable Defender on the setup of Atlas 😂
Windows defender is an absolute shit, every virus bypass it bruh. Even if it's disabled it's not like you are gonna download a virus at all if you know what you do.
I installed atlas before I saw this video. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE
???
Bro must of got banned from their discord and wants revenge. Either that or he is just plain dumb. Like seriously it gives you all the security options normal windows has. Also I swear I remember atlas being open source too.
windows fanboy 😂😂😂 windows updates are more dangerous than not, most of the time. Is this video a joke?
more clickbait bullshit lmao he literally just DMZs every os he doesnt want u to use which obviously makes ur pc more vulnerable
I detect a note of sarcasm in the title, but I do agree: if you turn off your anti-virus and elevate a program, it can do absolutely anything. Disabling Windows Update is another yikes from me.
@@JeremyFoster-ve6kq but he then said to use some other tool instead that also lets you turn off defender or windows update.
