thank you SO MUCH for this man, I can't tell you how much this helps. As a Twitch streamer and pretty new YT/socials content creator, this this is just STUFFED with things I neither need/want and until now, couldn't even uninstall. SO many things I couldn't even move to a different hard drive, HDD/SDD alike. Don't even get me started on friggin Norton and the INSANE amount of CPU memory it uses up almost at all times.

You're a saint, i'm absolutely subbing cuz I'm sure you're going to be someone I come back to regularly when I inevitably either have to get a new PC or Acer repairs my baby.

I might be the only person here that found the installation of Windows 11 to be fairly straightforward and I had to remove manually What I didn't want/need. TIW11 was either a GitHub download or the link you gave would not would not work. It only took me 1 hour to clear the cr*p off my Laptop and I installed StartAllBack but kept a lot of the Win11 icons etc. If you are someone who likes getting into the innards of your PC/Laptop and experimenting with Linux - then all power to you for that. It suits those who are much more technically more gifted than I and millions of other Windows users. Personally, my laptop(s) are primarily for Work (my own business) or the kids education. I tried Linux Mint but gave up as I was spending more time trying to find out why it wouldn't work than actually being productive (lost business). I put the whole experience down to lost time and a salutary exercise and that I am not technically able to do all that is needed to run a Linux system. Having seen Linus Tech Tips et al struggling in their challenges, I realise it isn't only me that found Linux too challenging and it wasn't what I needed. I need an out of the box working laptop, hardware compatible and a choice of software for my business applications. So, yes, the important that seems to be missing in a lot of comments in most YT Win11 updates is that Windows works out of the box with the largest amount of hardware. Yes, it has Bloatware, but it is doing what all successful businesses do - leveraging their position and try to grow larger and fight off competitors - I just delete and move on. Yes, it locks down the system so the more technically aware of you guys out there find ways of getting around the problems. Thanks guys, I really mean it! Yes, Microsoft have taken many years and many executive retirements to become a more reactive software company - they actually listen now but are slow to move. For those who will give/have given up with Microsoft and Windows I say farewell. I wish you good fortune and patience in the Linux world. Yes, there maybe a time when a Linux Distro matches Windows and probably exceeds it - but I am certain it will take a good few years before that happens. I will suck it up and live with icons in the wrong place, debloating when I have to and be effective in my business as after all, they are only machines that are supposed to help us?
Great tips, man. I'm in the same boat as you... love some parts, hate some parts of Win11. I have it down to basically Win10++ after watching your videos on it. Thanks again for doing the research. 100% gained a sub from me. Cheers!
I installed Windows 11 yesterday just because of better scheduling with the i9-12900k in certain games. I was astonished by how much bloat it came with, even after doing my usual optimization. I used ThisIsWin11 to debloat the rest of the jitter hidden around. I hate that Microsoft are shoving the app-look down our throats, i hate Apple for this specific reason, but nowadays Windows is looking more and more like macOS.
It would be interesting to see a before and after count of services \ processes \ RAM used etc etc, to see if this debloating process has a beneficial impact on performance. For a laugh, Ive installed Windows 11 on a server, so am going to use your video to help me get the OS to be as bare bones as possible. Love your videos. So easy to follow and concise!
@@janslokar9795 No it doesn't - certainly not perceptibly.

Nice timing. I ordered a new SSD to reinstall windows on my old laptop, and might upgrade it to Windows 11 in the process. However, instead of debloating a normal install I'm probably going to use MSMG toolkit, which got updated to debloat Windows 11
Be careful and don't directly install debloated Windows , you first test it by installing in virtual machine. If all good nothing broken, then install.
@@Jimbo519375 yes I haven't updated, but I did tried it. Installed it in a virtual machine. It isn't that cool. I'm going to wait untill Windows 10 is officially kind of dead.

That's useful to have, but knowing how Microsoft does things sometimes, I wouldn't be too surprised if they (Microsoft) reinstalled some of the bloatware that were removed with their "Windows updates".
As a person who is con out of my beloved Windows 7 system being forced to "upgrade", I find Windows 11 not nearly as egregious as first thought. With your marvelous video, there's hope. Thanks a ton, old son!
Thank you for a very helpful video. Seems not that long ago I went thru this going form Windows 7 to 10. Personally, I will be sticking with Windows 10 for a couple more years as it will be supported until 2025.
I installed Windows 11 and noticed my PC suddenly was going a bit slower than usual. I tried this and now it's much cleaner, I'll see if it lowers the workload for my desktop. Thanks for the video.
On most PC builds from the windows XP days going forward, I've been spending increasingly more and more time, removing, deleting and killing programs ill never use but are more than glad to rob my resources. I'm still afraid that a "critical update" will just reinstall these bloatware programs again.
I am guess I am lucky, mine didn't come with all of that. Mine only came with a few Microsoft/Windows apps like Office, Power Point, OneDrive, Cortana, Microsoft Store, Xbox app, Power Point, Notepad, Tips, Weather, Paint, Microsoft Edge, Word, mostly regular stuff and four Lenovo apps, since it was a Lenovo laptop. Didn't have Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Prime, Netflix, Disney+ or anything from third party companies, it was mostly regular Windows apps on mine and then the few Lenovo apps since it is a Lenovo PC. Nice video though.
@JM Coulon I've never had them updated, without me actually allowing them too. And I have let them update it, and they haven't added any bloat yet. I'm on a Lenovo.
Great video !! 😂😂 I am not going to install it till Oct 2025.. I'll wait for them to make it proper. Thanks to all these Windows optimising app developers because of them Windows is way more functional and usable than its shipped.
Spybot anti-beacon is another good one for telemetry blocking. And it deals with windows "updates" reenabling telemetry. By refreshing your choices every boot.
Sooo I'm quite very curious this optimises and improves PC performance correct? Nice video btw I actually followed and did everything in the video correctly and noticed my pc was faster. But I'm quite new to all this so I got doubts I'm just trying to confirm if it actually improves system performance. And again what about the Tweak UIX.exe that came with the downloaded zip file do I ignore that or run that too please?
If you have the space and dont care about the Icons, does this acctualy affect Win 11? do i get any benefits like performance boost or whatever? or is this just so your Win 11 looks nicer but performance wise there are no benefits?
Appreciate the video, but the tweak program changed my desktop in a way that did not work for me. Had to restore to default. Thankfully, I could remove the bloated apps without the tweaker.
I was able to get 7-zip (only program I tried) to install through the packages section of the program. The version of ThisIsWin11 that I downloaded is newer and looks a little different than the one in your video so maybe they fixed the issue you were having with that version.
This may be a great program aka piece of software for those that are PC savy. But inidividual's like myself are going to find it a bit daunting when we don't know what half or more of the things we don't like actaully are, meaning, named. As I listened to you entently, I heard you mention nurmerious things to gid rid of, which I had no idea as to what they were. I'm 73 and only use my gaming pc to play various video games, You Tube and Chome as my browser. What ever else my pc is capable of is of no use. Which I will assume is the vast majority of it. Getting rid of the wrong thing, assumably can and will have effect on the few things I utilize my pc for. And scared that I won't be able to fix it, unless I do a total reinstall. Is there a "OOP's" I made a mistake getting rid of something I shouldn't have icon? Becasue I'm pretty sure I would need it.
always create a restore point before, then "iobit uninstaller" allows to remove all windows programs that even don't show up in the list or are locked + "autoruns" to disable processes, updaters, bootloaders, scheduled tasks and services that we might not use. idle- 1%cpu
Great Video as ever, I'd like to do this on a Bare Metal machine as well as pre install some of my own software using Windows System Image Manager then creating an image from that but I have no idea how to do it "idea for a new video?". I know it means using a live environment but I have no idea 😶 is this something you could help with, then we can all have our own choice of software pre installed as well as a PC that is de bloated by the ways you suggested in this video? Many thanks for all the videos
honestly i think it depends on what you re doing and what system you have. For example, i m playing games mainly on xbox gamepass, so stuff like gamebar is actually super useful. Maybe on some really old rigs, it might affect performance alot but honestly, i have zero fps difference on my ryzen.
Followed your video to the T, now my task bar is stuck on my left monitor (I have three) has smaller icons, and is partially cut off at the bottom. Any ideas? *Update* now everything is f’d. Games don’t work. The whole thing was a waste of time. I’m gunna have to re install windows. I’m venting a bit, but Jesus Christ, I should have just left it alone. Everything was working just fine.
I’m kind of embarrassed about that little outburst comment. What do you mean about making an image? Haven’t used windows in years, not since before windows 7 I think.
It's weird, I don't have new installation, I have the Education release of Windows 10 upgraded to 11 with WIP. No bloat. Not a single unwanted app. I installed TIW11, I checked its "79 apps to remove". All actually USEFUL system apps I don't really want to uninstall. Come on, why would I want to uninstall weather app or a language pack I use? But maybe it's just I don't use REGULAR official Windows 11 release. I would NOT recommend using ANY app that automatically removes Windows components or messes up with Windows Registry, at least without doing a full backup. Why? Because I've been there and broke things. I always debloat my system, but I do it manually. Its worth noting, that if you are a power user, it's very high probability that if you remove a seemingly "unused" service or system component - something will eventually break and it will be hard to fix. One of "privacy" tools I used permanently broke the bug reporting feature. I wasn't able to fix it, it was broken until I reinstalled the system on a freshly formatted disk. So don't do the shotgun surgery. If you're not a tech, just uninstall apps manually with "remove programs". Change the Windows settings in normal settings menu. If you are a tech then you just know what you're doing and you also don't need any scripts or 3rd party tools for that. BTW, use Windows Internals (Google it) - to find what is loaded on startup (Autoruns). You can easily disable and enable things from there. There's also Startup tab in Task Manager and Windows Services. Read what the service does and if it's required by other services. After disabling it restart the system and test if everything works as it should. BTW, removing bloatware with normal "remove programs" worked fine for me since Vista. It will probably take like 30 minutes, but it's still less than one broken feature could cost you to fix later. Also - you do it once. Enjoy bloatware free PC for years.
I enjoyed the video. I am 80 and still work but windows 11 did throw me when I changed from win 10. I screwed up big time when I deleted One Drive the wrong way. I am a real estate photographer and did not want my photos to go into One Drive. Now under Users I have to get permission every time I try to put anything on my desktop. I have a temporary work around but not the best. UGH I am not sure what the previous video is, but I will find it and see what I can accomplish.
I solved the bloating issues buy installing Windows 11 enterprise. It was an inplace upgrade from Windows 10 LTSC. The best part is the latest O&O shutup 10 still works.
Since Windows 7, I have found the first step in de-bloating Windows is to scrape the C: partitions and install a standard "retail" version of Windows. Even if your PC came from one of the major suppliers, THIS IS LEGAL ! Worst case, you may have to do the "telephone" license authentication. This still leaves a lot to clean up !
I used "This is Windows 11" on one PC that I upgraded (if you consider it an upgrade) to 11. I used the"packages" setting and it did install one or two things but not most. After I did this the PC started crashing and having a lot of issues to the point I re installed 11. I didn't use it again and just went through everything manually. So far no issues. Not saying it is a problem most people will have and it could be isolated, but it didn't work correctly for me. Also is there a way to have items open in the Taskbar to have the names of what is open, or a way to make it more obvious what is open? I have a LOT of unused space and have gotten used to having my Taskbar full over the last 35 years of using computers. This new way is not to my liking. If I have to just deal with it then so be it. At least I got my right click back the way I like it. 😁
@@CyberCPU Thanks for the reply. I re watched the video. The first 2 times I missed where you show the taskbar options in StartAllBack. It happened so fast. Probably because you focus on the Start so much. That seems to be where most people have a problem so it is logical. I will be buying that and I subed. Thanks.

i just downloaded the iso file to make the usb on my windows 10 pc to install on another pc. and now my microsoft edge on my windows 10 pc doesnt work anymore. Ive tried restoring it doesnt work, i hate to wipe my drive to do a clean windows 10 install.
I'm honestly loving Windows 11 so far. The Windows menu responsiveness is much better. The aesthetic is honestly beautiful. I like the settings layout. So far, only complaint is Microsoft asking me to log in every hour.
thank you for your videos are so helpful, i would like to request for a video of how to reduce windows folder it's takin' up to 20 GB+ on microsoft's official builds of windows 11 how can someone make it like 6 GB without installing custom builds, just using different tweaks
great video, but beware!!! When running the utility one of the items that got disabled was the Windows Hello for fingerprints. I think it turns off a service. I am still unable to get the fingerprint scanner for Windows Hello working again. could be a combination of services and registry entries - don't know, haven't figured out how to re-enable it yet.
Today I just ditched Windows bootloader from my HDD completely. Switched to Linux, installed Windows (LTSC) on QEMU/KVM, did GPU passthrough. Getting almost 95% bare metal performance on a VM. I'm fed up with how Microsoft is voilating users privacy, using dacades old sluggish NTFS file system, installing bloatwares without users concern, even they're now forcing ppl to use Edge browser. Looks like we don't own our hardware, they own it.
Is your computer case a Lian Li 011 Mini? I'm really digging that foot print. I have the Corsair Carbide 275R which is a great case but it's a little bigger than I prefer.
Yes, it's an 011 mini. I absolutely love it. I did a video on it a while back. I almost didn't get it because everyone uses the dynamic. I wanted to find something different. Now I know why everyone uses the dynamic. It's amazing.
@@CyberCPU I'll have to go back and watch that video. I really like that the 011 Mini has a separate rear chamber for the PSU rather than it being on the bottom. It really cuts down on the height and gives it more of a cube look which I've always liked. I'll probably go with the 011 AIR Mini that has a front mesh panel instead of clear front mainly because it supports regular ATX PSU so I won't have to buy a new SFX PSU.
@@CyberCPU Yeah I remember seeing that one. I think it's in the $215 price range right now and I have a perfectly good modular ATX PSU so I can save about $85 if I just get the AIR case. The only differences is the mesh front instead of clear glass and probably a minor difference in width of the case and I'm ok with all of that.
@@pjstartv6798 It has to be considerably different because the space in the back for the PSU is really tight. There's no way in ATX PSU would even occupy the space. Also the glass in the front is really cool. With that said, I wasn't aware the mini came in an Air. You might be looking at the full size 011. It does use a standard ATX PSU.
I suggest not using the current version of this program as it has changed a bunch of settings that I didn't select like task bar icon size and will not change them back. Now I have to screw around with the registry trying to correct the display which isn't displaying the taskbar properly. PC is a brand new 4.5k Asus laptop so the issue is the compatibility of the program, not the hardware.
Is it recommended to run this on a machine that has been used for several months with applications already installed on the machine or is this only for fresh installs?
Hi, thanks for your work but I do not see any exe file to install it. I have seen packages from github before and have never learned how to install them, can you please do a quick tut.?
OK this will make me look ignorant, but only because I am lol . 😆 I clicked on the link to download > this is windows 11 ....and it doesn't seem to download because I can't find it in my little folder that's in the bottom middle of my monitor. What am I doing wrong ? What have I got to do to make it download so I can move forward, and follow the rest of your video. I promise I am trying to learn this stuff . Thank you 😊
i finally managed too install windows 11 on my 2014 pc after so many failed attempts at bypassing everything and with windows 10 every few days it would start lagging and freezing and ive had windows 11 about a week and its running better than 10 ever has
It’s pretty easy to Install Windows 11 on unsupported PC. Rufus USB Tool has a built in option to remove install requirements automatically on the USB Bootable Drive. It just installs flawlessly. I tried it everywhere, on older PCs and also on iMacs and MacBooks. Works perfectly.

On most PC builds from the windows XP days going forward, I've been spending increasingly more and more time, removing, deleting and killing programs ill never use but are more than glad to rob my resources. I'm still afraid that a "critical update" will just reinstall these bloatware programs again.
I am guess I am lucky, mine didn't come with all of that. Mine only came with a few Microsoft/Windows apps like Office, Power Point, OneDrive, Cortana, Microsoft Store, Xbox app, Power Point, Notepad, Tips, Weather, Paint, Microsoft Edge, Word, mostly regular stuff and four Lenovo apps, since it was a Lenovo laptop. Didn't have Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Prime, Netflix, Disney+ or anything from third party companies, it was mostly regular Windows apps on mine and then the few Lenovo apps since it is a Lenovo PC. Nice video though.
@JM Coulon I've never had them updated, without me actually allowing them too. And I have let them update it, and they haven't added any bloat yet. I'm on a Lenovo.
Great video !!
😂😂 I am not going to install it till Oct 2025..
I'll wait for them to make it proper.
Thanks to all these Windows optimising app developers because of them Windows is way more functional and usable than its shipped.
Yes, Windows 10 will be under support for several more years.
you had me with the "IT Crowd" tshirt
Spybot anti-beacon is another good one for telemetry blocking. And it deals with windows "updates" reenabling telemetry. By refreshing your choices every boot.
This is just great. I have a new laptop arriving in a few days and really need this
Sooo I'm quite very curious this optimises and improves PC performance correct? Nice video btw I actually followed and did everything in the video correctly and noticed my pc was faster. But I'm quite new to all this so I got doubts I'm just trying to confirm if it actually improves system performance. And again what about the Tweak UIX.exe that came with the downloaded zip file do I ignore that or run that too please?
No .exe file is available with the Github page download zip file. Please give the link to the .exe file...
Happy and Healthy New Year my fried!!!!
If you have the space and dont care about the Icons, does this acctualy affect Win 11? do i get any benefits like performance boost or whatever? or is this just so your Win 11 looks nicer but performance wise there are no benefits?
Appreciate the video, but the tweak program changed my desktop in a way that did not work for me. Had to restore to default. Thankfully, I could remove the bloated apps without the tweaker.
Thank you, Ole wise bearded one.
I was able to get 7-zip (only program I tried) to install through the packages section of the program. The version of ThisIsWin11 that I downloaded is newer and looks a little different than the one in your video so maybe they fixed the issue you were having with that version.
Intervention on time , TANK'S.
clipchamp is a video editor, i really recommend it if ur a beginner like i am
Whenever I see you, I feel relieved🔥
Thank you very helpful 👍
This may be a great program aka piece of software for those that are PC savy. But inidividual's like myself are going to find it a bit daunting when we don't know what half or more of the things we don't like actaully are, meaning, named. As I listened to you entently, I heard you mention nurmerious things to gid rid of, which I had no idea as to what they were. I'm 73 and only use my gaming pc to play various video games, You Tube and Chome as my browser. What ever else my pc is capable of is of no use. Which I will assume is the vast majority of it. Getting rid of the wrong thing, assumably can and will have effect on the few things I utilize my pc for. And scared that I won't be able to fix it, unless I do a total reinstall. Is there a "OOP's" I made a mistake getting rid of something I shouldn't have icon? Becasue I'm pretty sure I would need it.
always create a restore point before, then "iobit uninstaller" allows to remove all windows programs that even don't show up in the list or are locked + "autoruns" to disable processes, updaters, bootloaders, scheduled tasks and services that we might not use. idle- 1%cpu
Good Video, Time to cleaning up your PC 💻 😍 😍
Great Video as ever, I'd like to do this on a Bare Metal machine as well as pre install some of my own software using Windows System Image Manager then creating an image from that but I have no idea how to do it "idea for a new video?". I know it means using a live environment but I have no idea 😶 is this something you could help with, then we can all have our own choice of software pre installed as well as a PC that is de bloated by the ways you suggested in this video? Many thanks for all the videos
That is a good idea. I'll have to look into it.
@@CyberCPU any luck on this front buddy?
@@DroneKing2K no, sorry. I haven't had a chance. Working on some other projects right now. This is definitely something I want to look into though.
@@CyberCPU that's cool buddy, if I get any time in the weekend I may have a go on my laptop
Awesome video, thank you very much!!
Why did you not change any of the gaming settings?? Just curious! I saw other videos recommended doing so for better performance.
honestly i think it depends on what you re doing and what system you have. For example, i m playing games mainly on xbox gamepass, so stuff like gamebar is actually super useful. Maybe on some really old rigs, it might affect performance alot but honestly, i have zero fps difference on my ryzen.
Followed your video to the T, now my task bar is stuck on my left monitor (I have three) has smaller icons, and is partially cut off at the bottom. Any ideas?
*Update* now everything is f’d. Games don’t work. The whole thing was a waste of time. I’m gunna have to re install windows. I’m venting a bit, but Jesus Christ, I should have just left it alone. Everything was working just fine.
I’m kind of embarrassed about that little outburst comment. What do you mean about making an image? Haven’t used windows in years, not since before windows 7 I think.
man ur the best thanks!
Great video, subbed.
It's weird, I don't have new installation, I have the Education release of Windows 10 upgraded to 11 with WIP. No bloat. Not a single unwanted app. I installed TIW11, I checked its "79 apps to remove". All actually USEFUL system apps I don't really want to uninstall. Come on, why would I want to uninstall weather app or a language pack I use? But maybe it's just I don't use REGULAR official Windows 11 release. I would NOT recommend using ANY app that automatically removes Windows components or messes up with Windows Registry, at least without doing a full backup. Why? Because I've been there and broke things. I always debloat my system, but I do it manually. Its worth noting, that if you are a power user, it's very high probability that if you remove a seemingly "unused" service or system component - something will eventually break and it will be hard to fix. One of "privacy" tools I used permanently broke the bug reporting feature. I wasn't able to fix it, it was broken until I reinstalled the system on a freshly formatted disk. So don't do the shotgun surgery. If you're not a tech, just uninstall apps manually with "remove programs". Change the Windows settings in normal settings menu. If you are a tech then you just know what you're doing and you also don't need any scripts or 3rd party tools for that. BTW, use Windows Internals (Google it) - to find what is loaded on startup (Autoruns). You can easily disable and enable things from there. There's also Startup tab in Task Manager and Windows Services. Read what the service does and if it's required by other services. After disabling it restart the system and test if everything works as it should. BTW, removing bloatware with normal "remove programs" worked fine for me since Vista. It will probably take like 30 minutes, but it's still less than one broken feature could cost you to fix later. Also - you do it once. Enjoy bloatware free PC for years.
I enjoyed the video. I am 80 and still work but windows 11 did throw me when I changed from win 10. I screwed up big time when I deleted One Drive the wrong way. I am a real estate photographer and did not want my photos to go into One Drive.
Now under Users I have to get permission every time I try to put anything on my desktop. I have a temporary work around but not the best. UGH I am not sure what the previous video is, but I will find it and see what I can accomplish.
Thankyou, it worked!
Great video, Is there a guide on doing the equivalent in domain group policy or intune
Awesome video man love a good clean up video 👍🏻
deserves a subcribe :D !!!
Great content!
Thanks.
about the section you said it never worked
it worked fine with me and installed the apps no problem here
Cool. Must be fixed. It wasn't working when I did it.
I solved the bloating issues buy installing Windows 11 enterprise. It was an inplace upgrade from Windows 10 LTSC.
The best part is the latest O&O shutup 10 still works.
Since Windows 7, I have found the first step in de-bloating Windows is to scrape the C: partitions and install a standard "retail" version of Windows. Even if your PC came from one of the major suppliers, THIS IS LEGAL ! Worst case, you may have to do the "telephone" license authentication. This still leaves a lot to clean up !
Who cares about the "legal" part LOL
I used "This is Windows 11" on one PC that I upgraded (if you consider it an upgrade) to 11. I used the"packages" setting and it did install one or two things but not most. After I did this the PC started crashing and having a lot of issues to the point I re installed 11. I didn't use it again and just went through everything manually. So far no issues. Not saying it is a problem most people will have and it could be isolated, but it didn't work correctly for me. Also is there a way to have items open in the Taskbar to have the names of what is open, or a way to make it more obvious what is open? I have a LOT of unused space and have gotten used to having my Taskbar full over the last 35 years of using computers. This new way is not to my liking. If I have to just deal with it then so be it. At least I got my right click back the way I like it. 😁
I did a video a while back on how to customize Windows 11. In it I show how to restore the Windows 10 taskbar. That might be what your looking for.
@@CyberCPU Thanks for the reply. I re watched the video. The first 2 times I missed where you show the taskbar options in StartAllBack. It happened so fast. Probably because you focus on the Start so much. That seems to be where most people have a problem so it is logical. I will be buying that and I subed. Thanks.
@@ajosepi1976 I was actually referring to Explorer Patcher. It's a free program on GitHub. I talk about it near the end of the video.
@@CyberCPU I saw that as well but I like the other option better.
It's always a fun 'exercise' playing with these toys; I've used this particular software with a variety of machines - ranging from an old 2009 VAIO to a 2017 Dell XPS - and there was zero improvement in boot time, app performance, etc. What it often did was fuck up the system (resulting in annoying/worrying error messages appearing), which required a system restore.
This kind of maniacal tinkering is just OCD. Windows 11 is a pretty nice operating system out of the box. Nothing is perfect, but it's built by people who for the most part know wtf they're doing. Just leave well alone, unless you enjoy performing system restores on your devices and not actually using the damn things for what they were intended.
i just downloaded the iso file to make the usb on my windows 10 pc to install on another pc. and now my microsoft edge on my windows 10 pc doesnt work anymore. Ive tried restoring it doesnt work, i hate to wipe my drive to do a clean windows 10 install.
@@jmcallister9291 As a result of running the stupid routine touted in this video?
Great work. Keep on delivering more such awesome videos 🙏.
Very nice, thank you very much =)
i have a triple monitor setup and sometimes the mouse cursor disappear until i press ctrl alt supp on w11. weird.
I'm honestly loving Windows 11 so far. The Windows menu responsiveness is much better. The aesthetic is honestly beautiful. I like the settings layout. So far, only complaint is Microsoft asking me to log in every hour.
thank you for your videos are so helpful, i would like to request for a video of how to reduce windows folder it's takin' up to 20 GB+ on microsoft's official builds of windows 11 how can someone make it like 6 GB without installing custom builds, just using different tweaks
This works great to get some snappieness back
nicely done. thanks.
great video, but beware!!! When running the utility one of the items that got disabled was the Windows Hello for fingerprints. I think it turns off a service. I am still unable to get the fingerprint scanner for Windows Hello working again. could be a combination of services and registry entries - don't know, haven't figured out how to re-enable it yet.
oops 💀
Favourite way to install on windows? Winget!
Today I just ditched Windows bootloader from my HDD completely. Switched to Linux, installed Windows (LTSC) on QEMU/KVM, did GPU passthrough. Getting almost 95% bare metal performance on a VM.
I'm fed up with how Microsoft is voilating users privacy, using dacades old sluggish NTFS file system, installing bloatwares without users concern, even they're now forcing ppl to use Edge browser. Looks like we don't own our hardware, they own it.
I don’t think Microsoft Edge is being forced in Windows 11 (or 10 for that matter) Brave browser works just fine as my default browser in Windows 11
@Linden Reaper it's better to get a LTSC copy from Microsoft rather than installing some third party tools.
@Linden Reaper I'm never coming back for Microsoft Windows. Linux is far more superior.
Super! I removed everything its actually noticeably faster! Thanks a lot
Is your computer case a Lian Li 011 Mini? I'm really digging that foot print. I have the Corsair Carbide 275R which is a great case but it's a little bigger than I prefer.
Yes, it's an 011 mini. I absolutely love it. I did a video on it a while back. I almost didn't get it because everyone uses the dynamic. I wanted to find something different. Now I know why everyone uses the dynamic. It's amazing.
@@CyberCPU I'll have to go back and watch that video. I really like that the 011 Mini has a separate rear chamber for the PSU rather than it being on the bottom. It really cuts down on the height and gives it more of a cube look which I've always liked. I'll probably go with the 011 AIR Mini that has a front mesh panel instead of clear front mainly because it supports regular ATX PSU so I won't have to buy a new SFX PSU.
@@pjstartv6798 NewEgg has a combo with a 750w PS that I got. It's a really nice supply.
@@CyberCPU Yeah I remember seeing that one. I think it's in the $215 price range right now and I have a perfectly good modular ATX PSU so I can save about $85 if I just get the AIR case. The only differences is the mesh front instead of clear glass and probably a minor difference in width of the case and I'm ok with all of that.
@@pjstartv6798 It has to be considerably different because the space in the back for the PSU is really tight. There's no way in ATX PSU would even occupy the space. Also the glass in the front is really cool.
With that said, I wasn't aware the mini came in an Air. You might be looking at the full size 011. It does use a standard ATX PSU.
Me: steps away from quiet, idle laptop for 5min
Windows: cpu/fans 100%!!!!!
A question should I use this is windows 11
Debloater after I fresh installed windows or after I updated my windows 11 ?
Note: If you are using or want to use the developer preview or insider Windows version, there are limits to the privacy options you can disable
is this application still works today? what I mean is the bloatware tool from this video does it still work
@@kazue9272 Yeah it still works. I still use it
@@isaacolukanni When I download it it doesnt have the application exe
Have you tried redownloading or disabling virus?
why not just install an International version of Win 11? no bloat
ThisIsWindows11 looks to be very practical, but is it really safe in term of viruses or malware ?
This makes me nevervous about buying a new laptop they all have windows 11s
Great info and Presentation! I assume you exterminated S mode . Are there any drawbacks to removing this obtrusive mode ? Or all positive? Thanks!
Nice beard man
I suggest not using the current version of this program as it has changed a bunch of settings that I didn't select like task bar icon size and will not change them back. Now I have to screw around with the registry trying to correct the display which isn't displaying the taskbar properly. PC is a brand new 4.5k Asus laptop so the issue is the compatibility of the program, not the hardware.
Where is your video for blocking edge from opening, I know I saw it. that software still good for window 11?
It worked for me, i just selected the apps that I wanted. Then clicked the create package and then clicked the run installer button.
System doesn't show so unable to debate. I installed Win 11 today and build is 80 higher number then on the shown in your video.. Thanks anyway
The system section of Settings?
I don't currently have Windows 11 on a system. I'll have to check it out once I set it up again.
me who doesn't have windows 11: interesting
Thank you!
Package installer worked fine for me.
My Widget disappeared from windows 11.How can i fix it?
Is it recommended to run this on a machine that has been used for several months with applications already installed on the machine or is this only for fresh installs?
Hi, thanks for your work but I do not see any exe file to install it.
I have seen packages from github before and have never learned how to install them, can you please do a quick tut.?
thanks for the help
Another grest video !
Updated version has a button that says you need to install the package installer.. Just encase no one has told you.. (Quick look and I didn't see it)
I downloaded the zip file from github but I still down see how to run it. I don't see the file you have showing on the screen used to run it.
Why use windows photos when you can restore old windows photo viewer via registry.
True. I keep a reg backup on my thumb drive for that very purpose.
Should you update graphics card on new computer 🤨
OK this will make me look ignorant, but only because I am lol . 😆 I clicked on the link to download > this is windows 11 ....and it doesn't seem to download because I can't find it in my little folder that's in the bottom middle of my monitor. What am I doing wrong ? What have I got to do to make it download so I can move forward, and follow the rest of your video. I promise I am trying to learn this stuff . Thank you 😊
yeah, i have this problem too. We are here for a reason, he shouldn't assume we already know how to do everything.
How to stop “look for TPM 2.0”, Encrypt Hard drive, etc. in order to have a successful install on a non-supported computer.
do you have to have a fresh pc or can you use this on a pc ive already been using
i finally managed too install windows 11 on my 2014 pc after so many failed attempts at bypassing everything and with windows 10 every few days it would start lagging and freezing and ive had windows 11 about a week and its running better than 10 ever has
It’s pretty easy to Install Windows 11 on unsupported PC. Rufus USB Tool has a built in option to remove install requirements automatically on the USB Bootable Drive. It just installs flawlessly. I tried it everywhere, on older PCs and also on iMacs and MacBooks. Works perfectly.
The section you can't get to work is probably part of their support and only works as an uninstall feature?
