Windows10Debloater

[Aree Soothsayer]

When I upgraded my hardware I had to make a fresh install of windows. This was months ago. However I ran a before and after benchmarks with several including Cinebench.

 

I got a score of 3143.

 

Youtube showed me Debloater in action on an old, can never upgrade, laptop. It went from being pinned at 100% to idle. So I used it on my windows 10.

 

That 3143 had nothing running in the background other than windows stuff. When I ran a Cinebench after debloatingit I have Discord, Lasso, Alarmclock, Rainlender, Steam, HWinfo,  Rainmeter, Razor Central, Winap and Avast Free Antivirus.

 

Score: 3230 and 3231, yea twice to make sure I wasn't imagining it.

 

ALSO. After the very first benchmark I locked my cpu, ryzen 5 3600, to 3600. So it wasn't boosting.

 

Yea...

So..

 

GOOD FREAKING GRIEF!

Is this youtuber named 'Jay' lol

 

Yeah the script is good, the only problem is that sometimes it can break stuff. Especially in older versions of the script that didn't have the gui to configure it.

 

In my case it did stuff to my system that I didn't want him to, such as adding seconds to the date in the taskbar, disabling entirely UAC, deleting shortcuts I made in file explorer, deleting all my windows store apps and breaking the store.

The worst is that most modifications are made directly to the registry, instead of using Group Policy. This leaves a system with no Group Policies configured even tho there's a key in the registry that is handling it. That's bad, since a simple windows update might just outright replace or delete the keys.

 

I see the developer added the ability to choose what to keep and restore such registry keys which is good.

 

Anyway yeah, windows is bloated af and the biggest culprit is telemetry, of all things

I've considered it but I game so much and don't want to lose some of my favorites.

Problem with ALL these cleaners is they want to clean too much and end up breaking things. What's better, a slightly slower system or system that just plain doesn't work because it's broken?

Theres a youtuber named christitustech, he's covered debloating windows before. I followed his guide for it on my nvidia gamestream server and it was pretty good, its pretty stable after doing so. Dont recommend it if windows is your primary OS, it strips out way too much for it to be usable for that. Most of these scripts are made by people who dont actually use windows for anything but what they absolutely have to.

In a perfect world Microsoft would have created a tool to enable and disable each feature the correct way, instead of tampering with the system.

Man I hope I don't come to regret using it.
