Yo, the 'bloat' in the image at 0:03. There's a conflict between the Realtek and Intel audio services. That's why there's three copies of the Realtek service but only two of DAX API. However, the root cause is a failed installation by Windows Update. That's why the Local Service is going bonkers; it's trying to fix the installation but failing. So, run DISM, and if that doesn't fix it, check the Event Log for DCOM 10010. The latter requires changing permissions in the registry. Obviously, you can fix the drivers themselves, but this will not deal with the root cause.
Thanks for the tutorial, it's very helpful and especially because I've just recently learned about this. I just wanted to know where you get your Windows Office software because I don't want to have a problem in the future.

Fun Fact about those debloater-scripts: Somehow, many of those manage to break older games trying to run in LAN-Mode. An example would be Blur. Fresh Windows-Install: Works like a charm. As soon as a debloater touches Windows, LAN-Mode breaks and you cant find any game. Was an interesting find on the last LAN-Party.
Be careful running this stuff in business environments. Removing certain Windows components, even ones that seem useless, can fuck the stability of the OS in so many ways. Windows 10 and 11 are extremely fickle, you have to be super careful running any scripts like this. Quite honestly in a business environment it probably isn't worth the couple hundred MB you'll get back. Disable whatever apps at startup, uninstall from the control panel whatever you can, and leave it at that. If it's your own system/personal devices in a home setting then it's all good to fuck about with debloating like this, but in business applications across many PCs being used by others, it simply is not worth doing stuff such as scripts like this, the potential for OS issues goes up for very small benefits. Especially don't remove Edge, I've seen so many dumb things break from that.
@@GFC_FM yeah, you do have a point, but tbh it's already fucked up, windows signed me up for insider program without even asking me and once you are signed you can't unsign so my PC crashes occasionally.
Honestly, as a person who still uses Windows and is a little bit confused about the Linux distributions, I would love to see a video about the differences between the distributions. I would like to dual boot at first and then slowly make the switch. I would like to know more about Pop!_OS and Debian, to be honest.
@@samsam060402 the differences between the distributions are mainly the programmes that come pre-installed and how you install new programmes (i.e. what package manager they use). Just check their websites to get a feeling of the community. stick with the big, popular names. there is no need to go down the rabbit hole of tiny niche distributions. they are literally all just flavours of oneanother.
@@samsam060402 "I would like to know more about Pop!_OS and Debian" to be honest... just try them out. no amount of reading will tell you how you are going to feel using either of them
As a side note, during a fresh install you can just select "English (World)" as region to make Microsoft not install most of Bloat. Change it back to your region after install tho, as Windows won't activate without setting a region, you won't get back bloat this way.
@@xgui4-studios Yeah the only way to disable that is via scripts, but you can have like much less telemetry by using a local account, and disabling some of the telemetry options Microsoft provides.
Honestly, a warning to anyone debloating WIN11. In the long term it will fuck with the stability of the system, random shit totally not associated with what was disabled might stop working. I debloated my laptop not long ago and it caused a lot of issues for me. I had to solve random errors in the event viewer and they were definitely caused by disabling too many things. Go through the windows settings and disable what you can. Use 'Add and remove' app instead of removing Microsoft apps with powershell because it is possible that windows might never change the reserved space for the app you removed lmaooo. Besides that, update errors may appear, for example if you remove Edge you may find that a lot of windows updates fail until you reinstall Edge again etc. So i highly recommend doing the whole debloating yourself manually if you want the system to be stable(r).
Side note, use Winaero if you want a simple debloat rather than aggressive scripts that may or may not end up corrupting your windows files and windows profiles to the point where SFC scan itself which is used to search for corruption might end up corrupted, then you have to nuke your system. I may have been unlucky in some way but whenever i debloated my own pc or anyone else's the integrity of the system always ended up going in the shitter in a couple of months right after the fact istg. Not to mention besides telemetry, most of the bloat doesn't really affect the performance of the computer in intensive tasks as shown on LTT's channel.
I made a sweet Bob Ross painting in paint a few years ago at work when the Internet was down. For some reason there was a box of Bob Ross DVD's in storage and I followed along. It turned out pretty good. Good old days when I was a secure guard... I miss that job.
Personally, I use NTLite & MSMG Toolkit to debloat the ISO prior to installation & after that I use Group Policy, OOShutUp10 & UWT5 to further remove/block the rest. My Desktop is clean af & no third party apps pre installed OOB. Additionally, I mod the hosts file to block advertising traffic & WireShark to verify that my tweaks work! Nice video, once again!😊
Uff brother, you should share your knowledge in a video or by chance do you have a video where everything you mention is explained in detail, it would be very useful to me, thanks.
Just got into all this stuff and this guy is my favorite RUclips channel rn. How he makes IT interesting and funny at the same time is beyond me but I’m glad I found this channel
@@kyedo- the updates bring security updates too. you may not realize but windows is updating its antivirus daily. when windows will stop updating windows 10, viruses will be developed without pushback.
Your question brought me to a new question. Can you actually see true disc space in use like the hidden virtual-RAM that is used for starting Windows up faster. (Which with my SSD, I hardly notice anyway so what is it useful for in this day and age...)
What I did was in the windows installer I set my country/region to English (world). It's not a bug or anything but something that was added because of the EU lawsuits. It installs the bear minimum for windows to function and I also haven't seen any ads so far
now watch this in 1 years and see microsoft start sending error messages when doing this and respond to support tickets with 'We want all users to have specific features to maximise productivity and enhance their user experience, so removal of some software may be disabled.'
I love how Microsoft responds to users who are complaining that their productivity is reduced and their experience sucks with some Brave New World crap
Well this is more for a personal setup, for which I haven't even once contacted MS for support. And their support forums were exceptionally useless for pretty much all cases, its almost always some copy-pasted nonsense of "Have you tried?" that has nothing to do with the problem, and of course even if you go through it all it does nothing, and which is probably posted by AI bots now instead of indian tech supports who didn't even read the question.
On linux we have year long discussion to implement a protocol to allow apps to set different icons for different windows (btw, windows are called toplevels in wayland, w**dows is a bad word around here lol) On windows they fuck you up in a second, the moment you update.
thanks. about a year ago i switched back to Windows 10 from 11, because I thought that the operating system felt really slow and buggy. but yesterday I decided to upgrade back. A lot has changed since then and I'm pleasantly surprised how more optimized it has gotten. I wanted to remove alot of this bloatware though, because I don't need it :)
Lol Im just glad that according to Microsoft, my intel i7 4790 isnt supported for windows 11, funny thing, most of the budget cpus which support windows 11 are literally 2x or sometimes 10 times slower than my old ass i7 4790
Edge is not only for the older generation. It's preinstalled and it's Chromium (but without the Google spy stuff), and it actually has a decent horizontal tab layout. It's my go to Chromium browser when I for some reason can't use Firefox.
The thing I used to only like about Edge was that it used to look clean by default but then Microsoft decided "hey lets go back to the good ol' days and make Edge look like internet explorer with a bunch of those spyware toolbars installed" and added all the Copilot crap making the default UI look like a cluttered mess.
@@sj3614 Yeah, the defaults are pretty shit... all I'm saying is that when it's configured it's good enough not to download another Chromium based browser.
Dude, that tool is the best de bloat tool for Windows I've ever used since it's early days. I've used it more than I can remember every single time I set up a new Windows install. No need to download the zip file and extract, just use the PowerShell one liner and boom it appears with a well thoughtful gui that includes the option to install software and revert back the changes that we've done.
I’ve been using Edge, and Microsoft is trying REALLY hard to make me not use it. After like every update, they keep asking if I want to switch to default settings (aka use Bing) they stuck the copilot icon in the top right corner, and it opens when my pointer hovers over it, but I have to click to close it. Every time I open the browser it asks me if I want to restore the previous session. Why do I do this to myself:(
To be fair currently Bing is better than Google. Google has gotten so bad it's useless and I have gotten better results with Bing. Even Duckduckgo uses sources from Bing.
For me the most annoying part of Windows, that it keeps trying to run the Windows Update service which uses all system resources with like 100% disk usage and even if I try turning it off in the Service Manager app, they have some hidden callback implemented that turns the service back on after some time. So I made a powershell script that checks every few seconds whether it has been reenabled and if the answer is yes, I turn it off again. Don't tell me when to update my system, I can decide for myself thank you.
Windows is temporary. Open source is forever. Also updated spyware wont get them so far... or will it. Most people have smooth brains and dont know about tech
Pro tip: using settings intended for businesses or organization you can permanently turn of windows updates, it’s been a hike since I did it but look up a tutorial, my pc hasn’t updated once since doing it
I know where you're coming from and trust me when I say that "high disk usage" is either because you have a mechanical drive that's failing or a crappy/slow SSD. If you dig deeper in resource manager and you find high disk usage but not a lot of bytes actually being read/written then you have a hardware fault. I know windows update does use quite a bit of resources but if it slows your system down to a crawl you need to have a look at your hardware because it's not supposed to do that. I run my business on an old-ass 4th gen i5 with 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. I had to disable the windows 11 limitations tto run on 4th gen and I actually use one drive for a hand full of documents and things and it runs buttery smooth. I never get slowdown during even a huge update session. I'm not saying it's perfect, windows breaks my printer/scanner drivers every friggen update and it broke my sound with a driver update once but a driver rollback usually fixes things.
Protip: Get lunux mint iso file, choose bewteen cinnamon, xfce and Meta depending on your needs, flash the iso to a USB with Rufus or balena etcher, boot from the USB and install linux mint.
Why wait? I switched to Linux Mint about two years ago. There was a few 'growing pains' but nothing serious. Now, i couldn't ever imagine going back to Windows. Also, if you absolutely need Windows (for work maybe), you can VM it.
The "Microsoft Phone" app isn't from the Windows Phone ages, it is a utility to mirror the phone's display, interact with the phones like the email, calender, messenger etc. (Android phones)

The LTSC version isn't anything to write home about. It only removes ~50 apps and nothing on a deeper level. In comparison to my debloated ISO that removes 444 items while maintaining 100% compatibility. LTSC is for novice pirates and you're better than that. (I use NTLite, btw)
@@bigboysdotcom745 Linux support has grown leaps and bounds in the last couple years since the release of the steam deck. ProtonDB is a crowd sourced database on games compatible (and fixes/alterations required) on Linux.
as a european i am always fascinated about the differences between US Windows and EU Windows. i have never seen an Ad in windows, never had a forced restart for updates or pop ups from microsoft about logging in or using their products in my 20 years of using Windows.
Note: Edge doesn't't just take up space. It runs in the background, starts with your system, consumes ram and CPU time, despite task manager telling you that it doesn't.
I use edge on purpose, its translation capabilities are much more seamless than what over seem in other browses. I just use it when filling out forms in Spanish in government sites.
thanks so much dude! I was so tired of all these stupid mobile app shenanigans windows 11 has to offer... AI, weird shortcuts, unnecessary changes to things that try to limit your accessibility and stuff... also I'm so happy that there is an option to bring back the win 10 context menu which saves a lot of energy.
They end the 7 support because they want more money. Sadly windows 7 was the only os i enjoyed at the same level as a linux distro with xfce. Thanks for the reminder
@5:39 "It could be dangerous just copying random stuff and pasting in powershell" So we are going to do much worst we are going to download random zip archive with plenty of powershell scripts and regedit files... and execute that instead Yeah YOLO
This is one of the few situations where Microsoft is mostly bad at communicating, rather than bad at communicating AND at providing functioning Software. AFAIK Windows by default marks cache¹ as "used" (at least in some applications used to view system usage info), either visually or just by not providing any more info. But cache isn't "used" in terms of "actively in use", it's your computer using extra RAM that's not needed otherwise to load things that you probably will need (so that it when you do need them it doesn't take as long). If you end up actually needing that RAM it will free the cache (/parts of it). Meanwhile, at least the utility I've been using on Linux differentiates clearly between "actively in use" and "cache" and only visually shows actively used RAM in the visualization pie chart/diagram showing usage over time. ¹ Preloaded assets etc. not actively in use.
Thats fknnn facts Idk why it is like that smh, I had old laptop with windows 10, intel celeron and 4GB RAM, it ate 2gb of the ram. I upgraded to PC in 2021 with 16gb of ram and Rn, as I am watching this video, my ram is ate up 7.5/15.9 Smh
I use edge for a few slide mechanics with the tabs while searching, and watching videos on bing for no ads. I use chrome for everything else, and am slowly shifting to firefox
Edge is fantastic in enterprise environments. Using Intune to manage the browser & remove the unnecessary add-ons makes it by far the clear choice for my users I agree that it is pretty bloated for consumers, but having it as a backup to Firefox is a good option
30 seconds in and bro already said the most relatable thing lol, Switched to Linux but it doesn't have the programs I need yet (also some games), Using in dual boot right now
FUD. Show me the evidence in discovery. Show me the discovery. Until then its hearsay! The State ain't gonna blow all their backdoors to nail some pleb.
the first thing i did when i upgraded to Win 11 was run a debloater, make a local account and fixed some settings, Its annoying that it wont let you do it yourself by default, also I heard that removing microsoft edge or onedrive breaks somethings?
Yea if it's a fresh install trying to nuke edge may be worth it, but only after running all the other debloat that's more likely to be successful without creating future errors - it's a parasite that's integrated too deeply. Best approach is to disable as much of it as possible then use MSEdgeRedirect to keep it from getting called up for things.
Excuse me, I use the windows store to pick up video games that work with the achievement system from Xbox Xbox that’s the only part I want to keep besides the app that only came with Windows XP
how much disk space and memory usage did you save? i dont use windows, but it would be an interesting metric to know how much de-crappifying the os saves you
@@Iamnotcooking You should give it a shot at least, its definitely not for everyone but I've had a good experience so far dual booting Windows/Linux Mint. There's definitely some tinkering and headache involved, but its not like there isn't tinkering to get some things to work properly in other OSs. If you don't want to install it on your system entirely, you can just try it in a virtual machine first. Now I only boot Windows for games that still refuse to work under Linux with Proton or games that don't have anti cheat support yet (which btw isn't Linux's fault) Everything else as far as using the desktop, Linux is more than capable. If you happen to use proprietary closed source software like the Adobe suite then you're gonna be out of luck, but this isn't actually Linux's fault either. Linux is highly customizable and once you have your system set up the way you want, its pretty wonderful.
You should seriously upgrade to Windows 10 and either use a debloat script like this one or AtlasOS, or strip down an iso yourself using NTLite. It’s a bad idea to use Windows 7 unless you aren’t connected to the internet. Or, use Linux.
@@xMdb Oh please quit the fear mongering, you already installed a botnet on your PC that tracks your every move already if you have 10 or 11. Why are you so worried about viruses if you already got one?

Fun Fact about those debloater-scripts: Somehow, many of those manage to break older games trying to run in LAN-Mode. An example would be Blur. Fresh Windows-Install: Works like a charm. As soon as a debloater touches Windows, LAN-Mode breaks and you cant find any game. Was an interesting find on the last LAN-Party.
any way to fix it?
I really needed this, my company uses Windows I've removed some bloat, but I didn't know about these. Thanks.
Companies force it down ur throat. Fight back:>
Be careful running this stuff in business environments. Removing certain Windows components, even ones that seem useless, can fuck the stability of the OS in so many ways. Windows 10 and 11 are extremely fickle, you have to be super careful running any scripts like this. Quite honestly in a business environment it probably isn't worth the couple hundred MB you'll get back. Disable whatever apps at startup, uninstall from the control panel whatever you can, and leave it at that. If it's your own system/personal devices in a home setting then it's all good to fuck about with debloating like this, but in business applications across many PCs being used by others, it simply is not worth doing stuff such as scripts like this, the potential for OS issues goes up for very small benefits. Especially don't remove Edge, I've seen so many dumb things break from that.
@@GFC_FM yeah, you do have a point, but tbh it's already fucked up, windows signed me up for insider program without even asking me and once you are signed you can't unsign so my PC crashes occasionally.

@@samsam060402 the differences between the distributions are mainly the programmes that come pre-installed and how you install new programmes (i.e. what package manager they use). Just check their websites to get a feeling of the community.

@@samsam060402 "I would like to know more about Pop!_OS and Debian"

As a side note, during a fresh install you can just select "English (World)" as region to make Microsoft not install most of Bloat. Change it back to your region after install tho, as Windows won't activate without setting a region, you won't get back bloat this way.
yes but telemetry still exist
@@xgui4-studios Yeah the only way to disable that is via scripts, but you can have like much less telemetry by using a local account, and disabling some of the telemetry options Microsoft provides.
This works but it’s easier to use a debloat script such as AtlasOS or edit an iso using NTLite
That's so clever
@@xMdb I started using AtlasOS this year and I'm so glad I did
Honestly, a warning to anyone debloating WIN11.
In the long term it will fuck with the stability of the system, random shit totally not associated with what was disabled might stop working. I debloated my laptop not long ago and it caused a lot of issues for me.
I had to solve random errors in the event viewer and they were definitely caused by disabling too many things. Go through the windows settings and disable what you can.
Use 'Add and remove' app instead of removing Microsoft apps with powershell because it is possible that windows might never change the reserved space for the app you removed lmaooo.
Besides that, update errors may appear, for example if you remove Edge you may find that a lot of windows updates fail until you reinstall Edge again etc.
So i highly recommend doing the whole debloating yourself manually if you want the system to be stable(r).
Side note, use Winaero if you want a simple debloat rather than aggressive scripts that may or may not end up corrupting your windows files and windows profiles to the point where SFC scan itself which is used to search for corruption might end up corrupted, then you have to nuke your system.
I may have been unlucky in some way but whenever i debloated my own pc or anyone else's the integrity of the system always ended up going in the shitter in a couple of months right after the fact istg.
Not to mention besides telemetry, most of the bloat doesn't really affect the performance of the computer in intensive tasks as shown on LTT's channel.
@@Afterburn7 we as a soyciety are very sick. this is further evidence of that sickness.
@@Afterburn7 I know that’s probably not who you mean but I can’t read LTG as anything other than LowTierGod who is that
I'm inclined to agree, most of all because there may be apps you want to keep, or as you suggest, should keep to maintain system stability.
You mean, it not only provides the benefit of deleting Edge, but _also_ prevents autoupdates?

Edge is not only for the older generation. It's preinstalled and it's Chromium (but without the Google spy stuff), and it actually has a decent horizontal tab layout. It's my go to Chromium browser when I for some reason can't use Firefox.
The thing I used to only like about Edge was that it used to look clean by default but then Microsoft decided "hey lets go back to the good ol' days and make Edge look like internet explorer with a bunch of those spyware toolbars installed" and added all the Copilot crap making the default UI look like a cluttered mess.

For me the most annoying part of Windows, that it keeps trying to run the Windows Update service which uses all system resources with like 100% disk usage and even if I try turning it off in the Service Manager app, they have some hidden callback implemented that turns the service back on after some time. So I made a powershell script that checks every few seconds whether it has been reenabled and if the answer is yes, I turn it off again. Don't tell me when to update my system, I can decide for myself thank you.
Windows is temporary. Open source is forever. Also updated spyware wont get them so far... or will it. Most people have smooth brains and dont know about tech
Pro tip: using settings intended for businesses or organization you can permanently turn of windows updates, it’s been a hike since I did it but look up a tutorial, my pc hasn’t updated once since doing it
I know where you're coming from and trust me when I say that "high disk usage" is either because you have a mechanical drive that's failing or a crappy/slow SSD. If you dig deeper in resource manager and you find high disk usage but not a lot of bytes actually being read/written then you have a hardware fault. I know windows update does use quite a bit of resources but if it slows your system down to a crawl you need to have a look at your hardware because it's not supposed to do that.
I run my business on an old-ass 4th gen i5 with 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. I had to disable the windows 11 limitations tto run on 4th gen and I actually use one drive for a hand full of documents and things and it runs buttery smooth. I never get slowdown during even a huge update session.
I'm not saying it's perfect, windows breaks my printer/scanner drivers every friggen update and it broke my sound with a driver update once but a driver rollback usually fixes things.

Fun fact: No matter how much RAM you have installed, Microsoft will eat half of it
Fr I just updated my laptop and still it 😀 .........
This is one of the few situations where Microsoft is mostly bad at communicating, rather than bad at communicating AND at providing functioning Software.
AFAIK Windows by default marks cache¹ as "used" (at least in some applications used to view system usage info), either visually or just by not providing any more info.
But cache isn't "used" in terms of "actively in use", it's your computer using extra RAM that's not needed otherwise to load things that you probably will need (so that it when you do need them it doesn't take as long).
If you end up actually needing that RAM it will free the cache (/parts of it).
Meanwhile, at least the utility I've been using on Linux differentiates clearly between "actively in use" and "cache" and only visually shows actively used RAM in the visualization pie chart/diagram showing usage over time.
¹ Preloaded assets etc. not actively in use.
Thats fknnn facts Idk why it is like that smh, I had old laptop with windows 10, intel celeron and 4GB RAM, it ate 2gb of the ram. I upgraded to PC in 2021 with 16gb of ram and Rn, as I am watching this video, my ram is ate up 7.5/15.9 Smh
I use edge for a few slide mechanics with the tabs while searching, and watching videos on bing for no ads. I use chrome for everything else, and am slowly shifting to firefox
Chrome is worse than Edge.
Use FF.
Edge is fantastic in enterprise environments. Using Intune to manage the browser & remove the unnecessary add-ons makes it by far the clear choice for my users
I agree that it is pretty bloated for consumers, but having it as a backup to Firefox is a good option

Microsoft edge is probably baked in Windows itself at this point, just to avoid you getting any idea of removing it
Removing edge and edge dev tools does not break things, removing EdgeView2 does. You can use a tool to remove edge and edge dev tools entirely.
Yea if it's a fresh install trying to nuke edge may be worth it, but only after running all the other debloat that's more likely to be successful without creating future errors - it's a parasite that's integrated too deeply. Best approach is to disable as much of it as possible then use MSEdgeRedirect to keep it from getting called up for things.

If you don't want to install it on your system entirely, you can just try it in a virtual machine first. Now I only boot Windows for games that still refuse to work under Linux with Proton or games that don't have anti cheat support yet (which btw isn't Linux's fault) Everything else as far as using the desktop, Linux is more than capable.
