LoveWindowsAgain VS NanaZip

Use LoveWindowsAgain from GitHub to easily uninstall all bloatware + some other neat tweaks. It's also extremely easy to use.

I have used this a few times without issues to disable telemetry/tracking/bloat. The dev also has a tool for Win10 users called Privatezilla, just throwing that out there in case anyone on W10 is reading this..

LoveWindowsAgain

I would only feel comfortable suggesting Privatezilla because it is open source. With OO ShutUp10++ you are installing software that tampers with your system and there is no way to understand how it works or if it's doing anything malicious. Privatezilla is also still maintained, as a matter of fact, they just released a big update code named Pollux that integrates LoveWindowsAgain which is a Windows 11 utility to disable various stupid things in Windows 11. I would also recommend what u/domsch1988 suggested, and use winget to uninstall anything else you don't 100% need.

Or by using an open source tool like ThisIsW11 or LoveWindowsAgain

If you have Windows 10 or above, you should instead use NanaZip instead of 7-Zip-zstd. It is a massively improved fork of 7-Zip.

The first part of modernizing is port everything to XAML, adding dark mode and others. It's expected to be during this year, new UI in 2024. It's in their roadmap in GitHub

imo better integration with Win 10/11 context menus and more compression codecs

These days NanaZip is considered to be better, it's a fork of 7Zip.

Programs like NanaZip (a 7zip fork) that do implement the new API are right there on the right-click menu where you'd want them to be.
