  3. Winpilot

    Discontinued The manic cousin of Microsoft Copilot

    BloatyNosy (similar to ThisIsWin11) is better: https://github.com/builtbybel/BloatyNosy/releases

  4. Optimize-Offline

    Optimize-Offline is a Windows 10 offline image optimization framework. (by gdeliana)

    An alternative is Optimize-Offline[0] which uses deprovisioning to remove packages from a Windows install ISO.

    This is a method which mimics Windows' official methods which should prevent things being re-added when updating.

    There are also tweaks to remove the TPM requirement and allow Windows 11 to run on older unsupported CPUs.

    :zap: The most powerful open source tweaker on GitHub for fine-tuning Windows 10 & Windows 11

  6. winutil

    Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility - Install Programs, Tweaks, Fixes, and Updates

    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.

  7. privacy.sexy

    Open-source tool to enforce privacy & security best-practices on Windows, macOS and Linux, because privacy is sexy
