[QUOTE="eltrkbrd, post: 829025, member: 81650"] This is one of the best guides I've found for debloating my Windows 10 Pro installs. Besides Shutup10 which has become a staple for me after clean installs, I've never heard of the other tools recommended in this article. I'm more interested in debloating on a clean install of W10x64 Pro. For this task, Spiceworks [B]Windows 10 Decrapifier[/B] can be integrated during intial setup before any accounts are created (OOBE): [INDENT]• [URL='https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/148624-how-to-clean-up-a-single-windows-10-machine-image-using-decrapifier']How to clean up a single Windows 10 machine/image using Decrapifier[/URL][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] Post install, especially for existing installations suffering from bloatware, malware, etc [B]Tronscript [/B]seems popular. [INDENT]• [URL='https://github.com/bmrf/tron']bmrf/tron[/URL] & [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/TronScript/']r/TronScript[/URL][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] My only hesitation with all this (especially scripts that aren't easy to reverse the changes on) is the risk of future updates breaking things and also being over aggressive accidentally disabling basic functionality (for example IMAP email client, VoIP, video conferencing, etc). I also considered homebrew ISOs narrowing it down to MSMG Toolkit, Win Tookit & Winreducer (I wasn't impressed by Winreducer's geocities interface & incessant ad nags). I decided against chopping up W10 Pro however because of the lack of really decent guides to simplify the entire process, how time consuming it is (would take days to learn & setup) and mostly the likelyhood of future updates breaking things in a chopped install. In the end, [B]LTSC 2019[/B] won me over as the best of the three options ([B]LTSC, Debloat, Homebrew[/B]) and for those not constantly upgrading hardware in say a desktop PC (I don't game) or wanting constant Windows Updates (no thanks, besides critical security updates) LTSC by far in my experience is the better option (and true sucessor to Windows 7 x64 Ultimate), especially for those with limited hardware resources (in my case 4GB RAM/32GB eMMC soldered onto motherboard). Lastly, if not for those stuck on M$ say because of Office or Adobe products, [B]Linux Mint Cinnamon[/B] runs like a dream for me with everything I need out of the box...
