Windows 11 Equivalent to the old Black Viper Services list?


And then (now) there is Windows version,"Tiny 11".
I have it installed to a separate SSD on this very PC. I can access it via the F-12 key on boot up.

It IS definitely much smaller on the HD than the regular version of Windows 11/Pro/64 that I'm on now.
There have been two versions of "Tiny 11". The first one I tried had the System Restore totally disabled (removed).
That was a deal breaker for me, as I use System Restore a lot.
However the second version of "Tiny 11" that I downloaded and installed, still has System Restore working properly.
That's the version I have on the little Crucial 120GB SSD, that I can access on this PC.

So for anyone, having any of the weird and numerous problems with Windows 11 from MS, try a download of "Tiny 11".

From the Tiny 11 web site:

tiny11 is finally here!

Based off of Windows 11 Pro 22H2, tiny11 has everything you need for a comfortable computing experience without the bloat and clutter of a standard Windows installation.

It just uses around 8GB of space compared to the 20+GB that a standard installation does.

You can upgrade from Windows 10 and install it on unsupported devices.

Playing around with different OS's and different versions, is my Hobby.
It's quite a come-down from playing Pool and racing Motor Cycles, but in today's economy, it's cheaper, and safer.

I've not studied "Services" yet to see what all might have been removed, or disabled.

Merry Christmas, Everyone,

Just for fun, I've just now rebooted this PC, into Windows "Tiny 11".
I'll have a look in "Services.msc" before I go back to the normal Windows 11/Pro/64.

I may just print out several pages of "Services" so I can compare them with Win-11, when I get back there.

I don't run any of the MS apps or widgets, or aftermarket games, so this "Tiny" version of Windows works just GREAT for me.

I even used Rufus 4.0 to burn the ISO to a Flash Drive, so the install went off like clockwork, with no stupid questions, keys or passwords.
To quote a famous man, "I love it when a plan comes together".

Exquisite,, huh? Well, I see several on that list that would break Windows functions that most people use and expect to work. Unless one explicitly knows the dependencies and accepts the resulting loss of function, as a general rule, services are better left alone for most users. There's little impact to resources by leaving them enabled if one uses modern hardware. There's a lot of impact when something doesn't work that the user wants to work.

I'm so glad that you qualified your last post with "Unless one explicitly knows the dependencies and accepts the resulting loss of function, as a general rule, services are better left alone for most users."

A professional, would never disable a questionable Service, without first checking the "Dependencies".
Personally, I've been at this stuff as long as there have been "Services" and I've gotten pretty good at it.

While examining Services in "Tiny 11", I did not come up with a lot of differences between "Tiny 11" and the standard Windows 11. I did discover a couple of things still running, that I had already Disabled in my Windows 11/pro/64 install. I took the opportunity to disable those.

running tiny os currently very stable i must say cant even tell the difference between stock other than no bloatware, i used to run webroot secure anywhere for a few years but free security key expired so running defender but webroot was the had the biggest impact for me in minimizing ram usage
