How to debloat Windows:
Step 1: download Mint ISO
Step 2: install Mint after complete format
Step 3: done
Why do u need windows 11?
Maybe we need 3rd party apps that windows 11 has
And use win 10 instead
Best debloater is the Win 10 Tweaker.
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 ?
Even better solution – just use Windows 10. Yes, I know it's old, and it will be discontinued at the end of next year – but it isn't buggy like Windows 11. I've been switching on from 10>11>10 and etc and I can genuinely tell – Windows 11 is still sack of sh*t. Windows 10 is way faster, and just better. Or, maybe my PC is already old (Ryzen 5 3600 n' pair with GTX 1660 Super and 32GB DDR4 ram) so it doesn't properly handle Windows 11 but idk. I still love Windows 10 more.
Also talking about tweaks, I want to add something too that you can use to tweak Windows 10-11. There's a list on Github that has all the trackers that you can block to prevent MS from tracking you. (assuming you know how hosts file works and how to block something in there). Please, read it thoroughly before blindly doing what I've said. Here's the direct link to that list, assuming that most people don't like the idea that the author of this video haven't provided any direct link, or the tweakers are ol-ol-oldies.

All u need to do is to notepad to that "hosts" file, located in your System32driversetc location, and when saved the file, restart your PC.
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
debloating can brake components, i advice you don't follow this video, shame as normally tpsc makes good vids…
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!
Is this debloating permanent so that updates won't ruin it?
What about using Chris Titus Tech and Win11Debloat?
my approuch is different. I let all those junks and registry alone but I will block and filter their access to web so they became useless to Microsoft eyes. Even Edge I will block with PORTMASTER lists and rules from safing.
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.
Hi Leo, can u do a test of bitdefender vs 2000 malware pls
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 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!
You know Chris Titus Tech has a better program that’s free
What about ChrisTitus WinUtil MicroWin it’s trips out all the uncessary features directly from the windows 11 iso, no need for AtlasOS
I use Linux because I just use my PC for browsing😊😊😊.
Great tips and really very understandable ! I removed WIndows Edge manually, but never knew what i was bricking , now i know.. ( everything i don't need lol )
Disable GameDVR isn't Windows Recall i believe . hopefully there will be newer Windows Ultimate Tweak or ChrisTitusTech scripts… to remove that spyware 🙂
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.
Group Policy: Windows 10/11 Pro, Business etc.
Most Consumer: Windows 10/11 HOME
Where's winutil?
No mention that onedrive reinstalls itself on pretty much any update.
you are the first one who actually explains the consequences of disabling "features"
virus found by virus total
dont download
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? 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Hello!!!!!!!! Have you seen the new "copilot anti scam" for bitdefender??? I cant find a way to disable it 🙁
Can you make a video about all the useless Windows Services you can safely disable? This could be a second part of this video
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)_/¯
give us guide how to stop custom app from tracking us
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 O&O shutup10++ and some tweaks with policyplus.
the ultimate ultimate ultimate final edition debloating guide>> just install LTSC
Hey, great guide, what are you thoughts on Chris Titus app?
wait edge always runs on w11 and still people say w11 is as good as w10? 😂
Are there similar programs for Windows 10? Tnx 🙂
Windows 10?
Or if your tech savvy enough you can use tools like ntlite and strip everything you don't want out of the iso itself.
buying a new laptop tomorrow this is a treat
Step 1: Install Windows 10
European Union citizens/ or computers with installations using region settings of EU countries can uninstall Edge and Bing, Microsoft was ordered to make this feature available by the end of the first quarter 2024. Shut up Windows 10/11 has some great free to use tools. Give them a try.
Only way to debloat win11 is remove win11
