Can you expand on this? For example details on any tools to do this. I've been trying to disable features I know use resources and aren't needed but the native UIs to do it are hella confusing and feel purposely useless.
- https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat (recommended elsewhere in this thread)
- https://christitus.com/windows-tool/ (I used this one a couple weeks ago, seems to work well)
But seriously though, learn to fish. The answers aren't hard to find if you look, know what to search for, and are at least somewhat discriminating in your investigation.
I run Win 11 on an old tiny NUC PC that has Windows 10 before - now it does seem faster, is very stable and is not so annoying.
One thing: AFAIK you need to have the Windows 11 Pro version for the best de-bloating results.
Do it all manually if for no other reason than you know all the changes you made and know where all the different settings actually are.
That, and switch back to the classic GUIs (like with OpenShell) so you don't have to deal with the laggy new UIs.
For the record I am also with you that using WinDebloat is not the best way for the simplest reason that it all seems arbitrary.
