this is great, I appreciate that you take the effort and time to explain how to do this manually and locally with windows without the need of external programs, I will try some of this with my new installation of w10 on an old laptop I have, thanks a lot for these guides! ♥
He has mention that before. Most of these things can be put in a script, so you only have to run after every update manually or automate it with task scheduler.😊
I watched a video from a user called Memory Tech Tips, the video was called _"DON'T Install WINDOWS Without Watching This FIRST!"_ Roughly three weeks ago. In that, he created something called an Answer File and slipped that file in the USB windows install (It can also be inserted it into an ISO) and it stopped windows installing all the bloat and telemetry from the get-go. It bypasses Win 11 requirements, and I installed Win 11 on an old 2012 3rd Gen office PC. Have you any thoughts on this method?
I had downloaded O&O shutup last week from your previous video and pretty much all of your suggestions were already turned off. Couple of them like Cortana were still enabled. Good program. I used the 'recommended' settings and have been using it for a week'ish and have had zero issues so far.

If you want to disable the web search in start menu, you can also just uninstall it from the list of installed programs and apps. It is called something like Bing Search or Web Search. Though, I assume this is only possible in Europe, as basically nobody seems to talk about this simple solution.
For what it's worth, I have repeatedly deleted Microsoft Edge from my computer, and I figured out how to delete it so that it would not get re-installed, but then it made my system start behaving flakey. When I reinstalled Windows by mounting the ISO file and then running the windows setup with the option of keeping my files and apps, it completely cleared up the system problems. So now I still don't use Edge, but I don't delete it either.
I can guarantee none of this stops Windows _(10/11/iot, doesn't matter)_ from logging every application you use in the registry for "forensic" purposes at: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FeatureUsage\* Good luck finding any information on how to turn it off. I genuinely despise how hostile Windows has become, truly...
Yeah, It's probably just a red herring, that makes people think they are safe. I mean Windows has started ignoring group policy settings as well. So yeah, if you want real privacy. Then you just don't use Windows.
@@orangeeeeeee It’s the same as the right to be forgotten. They do pretend to delete your account and information, but in reality they just deny your access to it. At worst your data is held at the servers for another 10 years before it’s considered obsolete, garbage.
telemetry can be disable on group policy settings on enterprise-based machines like education or enterprise officially, ltsc, on home and pro machines its "required only" minimum by official means
Why don't you use Windows LTSC? It's Windows with lots of the bloat stripped out and longer update support, it's also trivially easy to download and activate.
i cant stand the backslash paths, the bloat, the company, the founders, it is unbeareable for me.... I have seen his explanations and their are valid. I am just happy I dont need windows.
How to deactivate telemetry? The answer is simple: You can't! The first and biggest spy is the Defender, switch off the check with Online service and the next time you restart it will be on again. This bullshit that is shown here, with deactivation in the "Services"settings shows that he has no idea about Windows. Turn off the "WindowsUpdate", restart it and it will be turned on again, this also happens with the other services. Everything else is so deeply embedded in the system that you have no chance.
Me? I'm using windows because it's far better then any other OS for my needs. Linux/Ubuntu and macOS are both either to restrictive for gaming or don't fit within my working environment. My server runs an Ubuntu server OS. Either way nothing wrong with windows and the copilot add in is perfect really helps allot. People tend to hate a brand because they think it's cool to do so without any good reasoning 🤷
@@Tefezilla Depends on your needs. Linux does not support all Software packages. Linux is not a place where you need policy based office environment. its also not good for rendering with graphics programs.

My wife just bought a win11 laptop for our daughter for school. I'm willing to disable stuff but I'm not sure what to disable. I don't want to cripple her laptop when she needs something working for an assignment she has to do in class. What is safe to disable without effecting her learning flow at school??
To be blunt, if you have to ask, you should probably leave it alone like 99.9% of people. Does your daughter have concerns about Microsoft collecting data on her computer use?
If you install English International it removes a lot of the crap. Microsoft needs to comply with all the other countries in the world that have privacy laws. Like the rest of the world. Ive been told if you install Vietnamese and then switch to English you get lightweight Win 11. I havent tried it. Maybe some-one could test it?
me too. Glad i switched to Linux yeears ago, the only telemetry I have is the one i voluntarily opt in to. which i do if its software i trust and want to support.
I wish I could just nuke Windows but there is software I use which won't work on Linux, and not with Wine either. So yeah until either these programs get Linux support or I somehow get myself unattached from them. I can't make the complete switch, although I like Linux. A lot :/
These videos are always great! Too bad that the ongoing Windows Saga has been a downward spiral since like WindowsXp. Always the same crap with a new Windows, it's fine IF one can be bothered debloating and disabling a ton of crap. oh well, F you Microsoft as usual!
I deleted the previous message but now, I can confirm the official Windows 11 23H2 is an insider preview! I just tested it on a laptop! Wtf! Build 22621.ni_release.22506-1250 They are forcibly put you as an insider and I guess only those that do not connect while installing, upgrading or repairing! I HATE YOU MICROSOFT Already planning a Linux install - trialing right now on another laptop. Does anybody have a 'safe' win 11 22H2 and 23H2 download? I still need Windows fir another couple of years! Heeeeeelp!😢

"Disable". Then an update comes along and turns it all back on and breaks everything!

What is that skin/theme setup you show right in the beginning called? And where can I get it? :)
Is your background the Temple of Time? Love it

@@teksyndicateHi, what are your thoughts about Windows 10 LTSC? Do you think its worth using?
This reminds me of your windows 7 video by Kane many years ago

Pirated stuff has its safety concerns
@@thatsentertainment6683 You can use file hashing to verify that the ISO is a legit copy.
Windows 11 LTSC not released yet
@@mobilemag6570 W11 LTSC has been released to OEMs already, and is available for download if you know where to look.
still has all the telemetry
Nice thanks. Didn't know about O&O shutup10. Good software.
i cant stand the backslash paths, the bloat, the company, the founders, it is unbeareable for me.... I have seen his explanations and their are valid. I am just happy I dont need windows.
I basically use everything here save for the MS account (along some other fixes)
I am just happy MS lets us do this
Is it possible to disable ALL telemetry, or only some? What is left?
Thanks for showing us! and remember 8800 GTX lol TigerDirect Just a bit reminisent
@3:20 YES really looking forward to this video. can't wait!

whats your take on winaero
Y'know what I think? I think that Microsoft won't monkey around with the GPEdit keys.
Why? So they don't piss off their enterprise customers.
After doing all this and restarting my pc, I still get web ads in my start menu.
No, no I'm not fighting Microsoft. I'm just not using their software anymore. What on earth are you all doing?
making excuses how they need windows
@realiesOne we have good reasons... power users will understand but linux tourists say ignorant things like that
