pimpmykali VS Windows10Debloater

I hated that there were entire debloater software programs that had to be made, in order to get some amount of sanity back over what was installed. The closest thing I can think of like this for Linux is PimpMyKali, but that's not so much about bloat as it is about resolving some common issues or misconfigurations.

I'd recommend installing pimpmykali to fix some of the known issues with the OS. Make sure to run it with the "N" flag.

If you know how to turn off CPU mitigations, you can do that. If you don't know how to do that, you can use pimpmykali and run the "Fix Grub" option, then reboot. Mitigations aren't a big deal for a pentesting VM and significantly speed up the performance.

i remember seeing it in a video that whenever they open a new kali vm they run this script to fix common kali bugs that exist in the VM release. anybody got taughts on this?

Metasploit 6 no longer supports older versions of Windows. If you are using it for some machines, DOWNGRADE it to MSF5. Here's a free tool to help you do so easily

Check out pimpmykali if you are using Kali 2020 or newer it fixes issues and includes the option to downgrade impacket.

The error: unrecognised import path "embed". So I guess it has something to do with the golang binary path?? Golang was installed via the pimp my kali scriptif that helps figure this out

https://github.com/Dewalt-arch/pimpmykali Pimp My Kali! It fixes old pip and preinstalls a lot of dependencies you will need.

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.
