Optimizing Windows 11


essential to keep installed
I'm using it as my default browser, but I don't like it pre-installed. I want to install the latest version manually after logon.
It's faster than official chrome and has more settings which I like.

I'd want to keep Defender and Recovery even if only as backup protections to other software, the rest can go.
you can easily remove each part of script but remember to edit the services too.

Could you leave Defender alone, please ? Otherwise we have to pay for protection ? Thanks
as you can see script is very simple and you can remove each part you want.
edit services too I have disabled defender services as well.

I don't use Defender it uses so many resources. instead, I bought an ESET license. it has plenty of features and also very light.

I don't see where I'd get a huge drop, here's my system idling. Until I hit PrintScr, it was hovering around 2-3%. I'm using 28% of my memory, so that's not an issue either.

Funny story, I started out buying 32GB, but I mistakenly ordered a single 32GB memory stick instead of the 32GB "kit" I was intending to get. I realized my mistake and since returning it was going to be a hassle, I just ordered another 32GB. It was the cheapest option to get two banks of memory. I wasn't willing to take the performance hit of half the memory bandwidth once I realized my mistake. :sleep:

Yep, that's what I thought, but chasing them down seems like more effort than it's worth. :unsure:

Truthfully, IMO 8GB is marginal for Windows nowadays, I'm sure that contributes to needing to trim Windows. I stick to a minimum of 16GB for stuff like my mini-PC video controller, and any desktop or laptop gets at least 32GB. It is impressive you can make it run decent in 8GB. (y)

Truthfully, IMO 8GB is marginal for Windows nowadays, I'm sure that contributes to needing to trim Windows. I stick to a minimum of 16GB for stuff like my mini-PC video controller, and any desktop or laptop gets at least 32GB. It is impressive you can make it run decent in 8GB. (y)
The bad part is that my laptop is not upgradable.

You will lose:
1- Defender
2- Xbox
3- AI features
4- OneDrive
5- BitLocker
6- Recovery
7- Hibernation

read it before using. remove or convert to comment each part you think you're going to use later.
also check disabled services because I have disabled defender and Xbox services in that section too.
if your windows image is not modified, then remove those "dism" and "sfc" commands for repairing. they are useless on a fresh image.
And losing key features is called optimisation?

I call it emasculation!

it's a full package for my future scripts which ask user to disable or not.
now you can modify it based on your own usage.

The bad part is that my laptop is not upgradable.
YUCK! I just picked up my new laptop from Amazon, it comes with 32GB and a 2TB NVMe drive. Price was too good to pass up, and my old laptop is over ten years old and started out with Windows 7 and got updated to 8.1, then to 10. It's also on it's 3rd battery and that needs replacement, so I thought it was time for a new one.
