All de-bloaters are trash, they save you 10min of GPEdit/Services.msc toggling by raping the Registry for zero reason and leaving trash leftovers of their dogshit software.
If you really want to depend on one and are low IQ then go with Winutil as it's the cleanest one and leaves no trash behind.
All in all, it's snake oil that makes normies think their PC is randomly 20x faster and that MS is not collecting your data.

Got it thanks for the advice. How do you configure your installs anyway.

Never tried, could be convenient as I'll soon be setting up a box with a rather narrow purpose.

I don't use Windows on my main machine anymore after W11 24h2 cancer.
But if you want to copy these de-bloater buzzwords;
>go into settings > privacy & security then set everything to off
>go into settings > system and turn off clipboard and remote desktop
>go into settings > apps > AI components and uninstall everything
>go into settings > apps/system components and set everything except defender to never run in the background
>go into settings > gaming > game bar and turn both options off
>open services.msc and disable "Windows Health and Optimized Experiences", "Windows Error Reporting Service", "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry", "GameDVR" & optionally disable all the xbox shit/bluetooth/geolocation shit if you don't use
>open gpedit.msc > computer onfiguration > administrative templates > windows components > windows update you can stop updates indefinitely and/or disable driver updates from Windows as they're shit most of the times
That's it, doesn't take more than 10min, de-bloaters won't do anything different except leave trash on your clean install and take a shit inside of your registry, and no, O&OShutUp isn't any better.

thanks dude you fucking legend ill save this

>>108785094
anything else you reccomend? on new installs anyway

Really great, and unlike what FPWP says, it saves you at least an hour of trawling through group policies and registry entries.

I also used this as a reference for years, but eventually internalized the principles behind it, and he no longer publishes updates to it anyway:

>new installs
My flow is this: Basic tweaks through settings, control panel and services -> deeper tweaks w/Winhance -> Install a Ninite pack -> Use Winhance to install a few things Ninite doesn't cover -> Configure the third party software that has just finished installing

>>108785014
Go be a tech luddite somewhere else kid

>>108787593
Ah thanks my flow is pretty similar to yours but I moved from Ninite to just having a single .bat script that installs all my apps and then for the games I use the "-i" argument so I can manually install locations for games.

What deeper tweaks do you do with Winhance?
