Utilities VS winutil

Not affiliated with the original author, but this tool has made my life so much easier by being able to get rid of all the awful components of Windows 11.

This was the debloater tool I used on my Surface Go 3 - runs well, only minor side-effect was I needed to use an automatic fix to get defender working correctly: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

Back to WinUtil, the link above goes to Chris's most recent YouTube video on the script. Here's a link to the project on GitHub as well, if you want to inspect the code or ask the devs and contributors questions before running it. I recommend this script to everyone who I hear complaining about Windows being bloated and slow. It fixes almost everything that I hate about Windows, to the point that after using it I actually consider Windows to be an acceptable operating system to be running full time on one of my laptops.

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.

The Tweaks section has a checkbox for removing Edge. I removed mine using that.

Humbly submitting Chris Titus' Debloat tool as well for comparison. I've enjoyed using Chris' tool, as the GUI design makes it easy to a-la-carte select which you want removed and not, along with recommendations. Makes it very clear to see what's being removed.

The only thing different here are some inbox apps are removed and Steam + assorted drivers are installed out of the box, all of which you can do with a community installer script and community tweaking tools.
