Leo, I tend to enjoy your content, but this video feels... Strange to me.

Actually, all the software shown was used in setting up the VMs for testing and is the one I'm showing in the video, you can see that the tweaks are already applied, and btw, the build running there is Atlas OS (I've also used Ghost Spectre for VMs before).

I like tools that are simple and intuitive to me over the most up to date and technical. Especially when all it is doing is running a powershell script with the same commands anyway. Also, you seem to think the video was written, it was not. I do these things impromptu, I'm an old school RUclipsr, I don't script and plan and have other people writing stuff, I just share my original thoughts and experiences on video so yes, it lacks perfect structure sometimes. Yes, my approach will be strange to some as you may think differently, also I'm sure it can be better so I appreciate the feedback.
I agree, and a lot of these "debloaters" end up breaking parts of the OS. You'll wonder at some point later on why something isn't working, i.e. can't download Gamepass titles or Windows Store apps, or game/stats tracking is broken in Halo, achievements are broken, etc and it all points back to these dumb untested "tweaks" and debloating tools. Better to use Group Policy directly to control these or OO Shut Up 11.

I made one of the smallest Windows 10 installs. Running under 300MB of ram and limited only by the hard coded limit at boot, I realized some bloat is good. I found it hard to do much with the OS. I simply wanted to open file types like pdf, png, or mp4 and couldn’t. Small things like these are taken for granted in new OS versions like Windows 10 and 11. So at the end of the day, using tools like this are great as it gives you the ability to tweak and not go super debloated.
I made a sub 100mb install of windows xp edition back in the day. Surprisingly, it did all the basic things I needed. Quickbooks and gaming. It is possible to get rid of all the bloatware and still be usable but you do break dependencies for future programs you'd like to install.
I've been using unattended install tools I saw featured by Memory Tech Tips. Editing it of course it requires deep knowledge of Windows and some programming skills but I lobotomized windows with it, and most things still function.
MS made is harder and more troublesome to discourage uninstalling or remove their apps and features. Some apps eg. Window Explorer requires some feature to function properly. A few youtubers already notify this. Oh I hate MS so so much.
That! I had to reinstall Win10 earlier this year because I probably messed it up when I thought I was being clever. Going Linux now. There I have a better control of the computer and no ties to any hardware. If hardware fails but nvme is good I just swap the nvme into a different hardware and I am ready to go.
The way I deal with Windows 11, is by continuing to run Windows 7. I have virtually no problems, except for an occasional new software I want to install being incompatible, but there is always an adequate substitution available.
No offense, but that is dangerous and stupid. Using a heavily outdated OS on any device is asking for trouble. Just install Windows 10 LTSC and deal with the changes. At least you'll actually be secure.
use any low or mid tier PC with fresh windows install (not local) and run a game off of steam. then do the same thing with a fresh Atlas OS install and compare FPS. Noticeable difference especially on older hardware. Is it ideal? That's up to you
Performance can be achieved in two ways. 1. If the system you're using is highly optimized and has no useless applications running in the background(bloat). ie: better performance with optimal resource usage. 2.Your system is poorly optimized, on top of that you have bloat running in the background. But your system still gives you the same performance as case 1, but at the cost of more resource usage. Similarly performance drop in Windows isn't noticeable when it comes to higher end hardware bcz it uses more of your "unused" hardware to give the same performance. It's up to you, which one do you prefer?
I tend to run Revision OS or Atlas OS and that's it for me since other things would take forever to sift through to perfect it I would like to see a video where you show tweaks you can make to increase your windows security. Great video!
AtlasOS is a very good debloater which gets better with every version. Of course you need to have a minimal knowledge on the choices it offers you during setup but it is pretty straightforward and easy to use, recommended!
The fact is 3Ghz and 4GB ram tell me you don't trust anything for long and always safety first😅 Nice Video And people should really follow your step with a bit of "Salt" 🧂 based on their need and situation
Wi-Fi Sense has been completely Discontinued. It is no longer available from Windows 10 version 1803 and later or Windows 11. It was previously created and enabled by default due to Microsoft gross negligence and incompetence.

Windows 12 is coming soon with a new kernel! I hope it will be easier to understand. Maybe a file based system, like unix? It took me so many hours to try to understand entirely!
This is super helpful. I just bought a new PC, and never used Windows 11 before, and I can’t stand that OneDrive can’t easily be removed. I’ve tried all the various methods I could find online but it keeps coming back. I am going to try the debloater and see if that works.
I used revo uninstaller pro for edge removing.. It worked perfectly and web view still here.. but when I used CTT utility it removed my web view also. then i installed web view manually.... Thats a problem of christ titus utility
I ran windows debloater essential tweaks and now my copy and paste only works if I have the original location window open. Is there part of the script I can not run to prevent this?
I have removed Edge just by deleting all the folders in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\ folders, except the WebView folder. It hasn't seemed to break anything for me, but, I do notice that Windows Update puts these folders back in sometimes... kinda annoying, but, this method that you mentioned to uninstall Edge using the GitHub link, does it prevent Edge from being re-installed after an update?
I can unnistall remote desktop connection ? I dont use it at all and its just someting from Microsoft so i wanted to get rid of it. And you now if theres no vulnarabilitys after unnistall it or someting ?
could you make a video on allowing or even an alternative to windows store app exclusives like Minecraft bedrock to work with debloating the most we can without ruining the playability of said games. Just making a emulation station and wanting to keep windows store games playable if their not available anywhere else
I heard that copilot has been more integrated into the essential files of windows 11 version 24H2. Does the debloater essentials target copilot and will that break windows 11?
Or you can use official windows 11 media installer, install it, use the script to bypass needing to have an account, then download Win Utility from Titus and voila, whole system up and debloated within 30 mins (as creating separate ISO didnt worked for me) + revo uninstaller that will help you erase registry keys and other stuff etc
Can I use either one of these to disable windows updates? I bought Titus's tool and it will not stop windows updates on my system no matter what I do. I just want something to completely stop, not delay or pause, completely disable windows updates.
For gaming, lately traversal stuttering has been a major issue for games. Is there any way to improve frametime performance in games? Ik UE5 games have tons of issues with stuttering but I at least want to mitigate how bad it is. I usually disable Xboxgamebar presence writter but that’s really the only tweak I make other than all the Nvidia settings ones and power plans.
0:20 Wait so I wasn't supposed to delete system32? Edit: Honestly I only run 11 on one PC and it's my work issued laptop, but I STILL disabled as much of the bloat and spying as possible. My other PCs I've basically converted to Mint because I was just... tired of every time I made a setting change MS would just flip that setting back on despite me physically deleting some things... POOF an update later and it's back. Fucking annoying.
At this point it's easier to install Mint.I'm still on win10. Tried Ubuntu - works fine, can play all my steam games and I get better performance. But there are some issues that are bothering me. Gonna try Mint next, cause it's closer to windows. Ubuntu was my first choice because I was a little familiar with it and it's a little better for development purposes.
Question, you have great videos and I watch quite a few of them that catch my attention, but I wish you showed us a link on which debloater you're using. There's a lot of them around, and I don't want to just download something that I shouldn't. Can you put a like on the debloater you are showing us? Or at least put in the more section? Thanks and really appreciate your content. Hopefully I'll get a response, cheers!
Can this be done with Win 11 already pre-installed? I bought a new PC, not plugged it in yet due to updates installing a spying screen grabber. {:o:O:}
Just reinstall Windows 11 and use the “English World” origin. Then after install, change it back to your real origin. That’s it. No bloat. No sketchy scripts.
How can I restore the “Hibernate” power option in Win 11 for my 2 year old HP Envy? And why did Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, remove it in the first place? 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
No matter how much you debloat Windows 11, its performance will still be below Windows 10.; doesn't matter on new or old computers, Windows 10 performs well than Windows 11. :P
at least on my i5 8500 debloated win 11 runs games about the same as win 10, sometimes loss or win 1-5fps. For normal usage subjectively you cant feel any different
Idk with the difff on perf... im using i7 13620H with rtx 4050 seems fine on games and even better on temp with less bloat but otherwise kinda the same
@@rizkyyulianto8741 On any modern hardware the difference is going being margin of error and you probably won't notice a difference. Lower temps does sound nice though!
Uninstalling Edge breaks something? I simply found the folder, took away the premissions and manually deleted all of the files there, revoking window's access to that folder and i haven't had edge running in the background since, and updates are still working fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The performance impact on modern and well specced computers is marginal. However, it can increase security & privacy and disable annoying features.

Im totally okay if the new function of the Explorer doesn't work since i don't use the new features any way
Do these scripts remove the programs or just disable them ?
The PC debloating channel
Is there a Windows 10 debloater?
could you make a video on allowing or even an alternative to windows store app exclusives like Minecraft bedrock to work with debloating the most we can without ruining the playability of said games. Just making a emulation station and wanting to keep windows store games playable if their not available anywhere else
Thanks for uploading this video, 👍
I wouldn't mess with these settings. Why would I want to disable OneDrive for example?
I heard that copilot has been more integrated into the essential files of windows 11 version 24H2. Does the debloater essentials target copilot and will that break windows 11?
more videos like this please.
Thanks for sharing. I am still on Windows 10.
I remove edge completely from windows 10 from the first day there is no problem and updates come normal
Or you can use official windows 11 media installer, install it, use the script to bypass needing to have an account, then download Win Utility from Titus and voila, whole system up and debloated within 30 mins (as creating separate ISO didnt worked for me) + revo uninstaller that will help you erase registry keys and other stuff etc
Got new pc, immediately destroyed edge lmfao. No way.
please make a video when virus attacked on system32 and destroyed files and folder so how to fix that issue without installing new windows
I generally avoid these debloating tools. Most of the functionality they provide can be replicated using an answer file during Windows setup.
give us guide how to stop custom app from tracking us
O&O ShutUp10 works for Windows 11. Granular privacy controls.
Can I use either one of these to disable windows updates? I bought Titus's tool and it will not stop windows updates on my system no matter what I do. I just want something to completely stop, not delay or pause, completely disable windows updates.
@JamesSmith-ix5jd please point me in the right direction if you don't mind. Thank you.
Can you make a video about all the useless Windows Services you can safely disable? This could be a second part of this video
For gaming, lately traversal stuttering has been a major issue for games. Is there any way to improve frametime performance in games? Ik UE5 games have tons of issues with stuttering but I at least want to mitigate how bad it is.
I usually disable Xboxgamebar presence writter but that’s really the only tweak I make other than all the Nvidia settings ones and power plans.
Hi Leo, can u do a test of bitdefender vs 2000 malware pls
Ultimately everything has side effects. Use immutable distros.
0:20 Wait so I wasn't supposed to delete system32?
Edit: Honestly I only run 11 on one PC and it's my work issued laptop, but I STILL disabled as much of the bloat and spying as possible. My other PCs I've basically converted to Mint because I was just... tired of every time I made a setting change MS would just flip that setting back on despite me physically deleting some things... POOF an update later and it's back. Fucking annoying.
Best way to debloat Windows is to format your drive.
Are there similar programs for Windows 10? Tnx :)
At this point it's easier to install Mint.I'm still on win10. Tried Ubuntu - works fine, can play all my steam games and I get better performance. But there are some issues that are bothering me. Gonna try Mint next, cause it's closer to windows. Ubuntu was my first choice because I was a little familiar with it and it's a little better for development purposes.
Question, you have great videos and I watch quite a few of them that catch my attention, but I wish you showed us a link on which debloater you're using.
There's a lot of them around, and I don't want to just download something that I shouldn't. Can you put a like on the debloater you are showing us? Or at least put in the more section? Thanks and really appreciate your content.
Hopefully I'll get a response, cheers!
Can this be done with Win 11 already pre-installed? I bought a new PC, not plugged it in yet due to updates installing a spying screen grabber.
{:o:O:}
Is risky this things
We need manual optimiz
Thanks
I debloated Windows by migrating to Mac.
Just reinstall Windows 11 and use the “English World” origin. Then after install, change it back to your real origin. That’s it. No bloat. No sketchy scripts.
Autounattend and CTT ultimate utility FTW
i think windows default software's is the best software no need for another parties apps
Well I for one cant wait for SteamOS to be publicly available so I could use it on my desktop.
damn it everything has downside. might as well switching to mint
You think that doesn't have downside?
Efficiency mode... Can't turn it off. So lame.
Whar if i keep win 10 and use a strong anti-virus?
After end of support, antivirus or not, vulnerabilities will be taken advantage of by hackers
How can I restore the “Hibernate” power option in Win 11 for my 2 year old HP Envy?
And why did Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, remove it in the first place? 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
No matter how much you debloat Windows 11, its performance will still be below Windows 10.; doesn't matter on new or old computers, Windows 10 performs well than Windows 11. :P
at least on my i5 8500 debloated win 11 runs games about the same as win 10, sometimes loss or win 1-5fps. For normal usage subjectively you cant feel any different
Idk with the difff on perf... im using i7 13620H with rtx 4050 seems fine on games and even better on temp with less bloat but otherwise kinda the same
@@rizkyyulianto8741 On any modern hardware the difference is going being margin of error and you probably won't notice a difference. Lower temps does sound nice though!
win 11 OS Build 26100.1 will be my main os
Uninstalling Edge breaks something? I simply found the folder, took away the premissions and manually deleted all of the files there, revoking window's access to that folder and i haven't had edge running in the background since, and updates are still working fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Personally I'm just gonna stick to Windows 10, downgrade, lack of support, whatever. I'm good.
Or if your tech savvy enough you can use tools like ntlite and strip everything you don't want out of the iso itself.
That's called Windows 10
@@lemau8458 windows 10 still has tracking and ads as well as copilot
