Windows 11: a spyware machine out of users' control
I recently used Privatezilla to disable automatic updates. Not sure if the same approach works on Windows 11, but you might find the relevant registry keys mentioned in the code helpful: https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla/blob/master/src/P...

amirite
Privatezilla = Is an open source alternative to ShutUp 10, but be careful what you enable/disable. It has options that will impede functionality.

Making your computer faster
For all the things you might indeed want to do there are about a billion open source programs where you at least have the ability to see what they do. (For example.) Arium is a black box, you have no actual idea what they changed and most people just blindly trust that stuff without verifying (which again you don't actually can't do, at least not completely).

Computer Speed Gains Erased by Modern Software
Hmm looking here: https://docs.atlasos.net/troubleshooting/removed-features/
It just seems to remove a lot of security modules, out of all the bloat out there why would I want to just remove the sec modules? Also it now adds an option to include those, so all in all, it then removes:
- Some APPX and UWP applications
- Logging of Network Configuration
- Microsoft Edge and WebView
- Restore Points and System Reset
- Telemetry
- Windows Error Reporting
- Windows Updates
- Hyper-V and VBS
- Background Apps
- Disk Defragmentation
- User Account Control (UAC)
I can use https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10 and https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 and https://www.oo-software.com/en/ooappbuster to do most of the debloating and telemetry tasks.
I don't see the point of removing
- Disk Defragmentation (how much does this even affect general usage?)
- UAC (?)
- Hyper-V (since this is an optional feature anyway)

Uninstall preinstalled OneDrive completely
I try to uninstall OneDrive completely during the install process, but either a PS Script (https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/blob/master/scripts/remove-onedrive.ps1) works nor does it with an intunewin program (OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall).

HEIC on LTSC?
I've managed to trim a lot of the bloat from our standard non-ltsc image. I can't share what I have unfortunately, but some of what I used was based off stuff I found here: https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/tree/master/scripts

Make Win 10 as light as possible
Install Win10 and strip it down to what YOU need from it. That way you also learn a lot by tweaking etc. To do this you need tools like this collection of debloating scripts: https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10, O&O shut up 10, a guide for stopping unused services, etc..
