Making Windows 11 Really Fast and Stable

Post by dmontaine »

I have been using a combination of tools: Winhance, OO Shutup 10++ and Winslop to remove all the bloatware, AI features and telemetry from Windows 11. I also install Windows 11 using my Microsoft account, then create a local admin user and finally remove the Microsoft account. The result is at least 100% faster than default Windows and seems to be more stable. In addition, WSL really flies.

It actually seems like a real operating system a la Windows 7, rather than a marketing front end. With Winhance I can also batch install a bunch of open source tools that are not repackaged web apps.

I am not associated with any of these tools, just wanted to post a way to escape what Windows has become. Anyone else tried these or any other de-bloating techniques?

BTW, I am not against AI. In fact I use LM studio and several AI models. I even use Gemini in Chrome. But I much prefer AI to be encapsulated within an app, not a part of the OS.

  • Win-11 on x64 XEON
