To prepare Win11 Enterprise edition image for distribution, I run ~200 lines long powershell script, nuking every bloatware MS puts into Win. It's ridiculous.

Linux distro devs, working for free, pushing excellent product can't compare with these clowns in high-paying jobs at Microsoft, pretending they're working.

Care to share the powershell script with us?

I start with Tiny11 first though these days, then run that to get rid of the last few bits.

I found that this script broke Win+R Run dialog history by setting Start_TrackProgs. This was undocumented, and I had to disable it manually. (Worse yet, it doesn't show up on GitHub search because the .reg files are UTF-16.)
