NanaZip VS Windows10Debloater

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.

Stuff has been uninstalled from Settings and Control Panel and CTT's Utility (to enable some settings I would've enabled through Terminal commands already) and Sycnex's Debloater (to uninstall some apps) have been used. It's nothing major as I only uninstalled apps I could download from the store if necessary and made sure not to delete any major system components except Edge maybe. I have read through every menu and setting any of these utilities has brought up thoroughly to ensure I didn't do so. I believe I did my research before enabling/disabling a setting.

I've used this script for every new install of Windows and it makes the experience quite a bit better: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater .

17k stars on GitHub so lots of people agree.

if you wanna go even further in getting the most out of your laptop you can use this debloating tool to get rid of the extra stuff Microsoft puts into windows that youll never use.
