[QUOTE="Gangelo, post: 1083627, member: 64716"] I am going to share my thoughts on this subject which I already know will not be a popular opinion.. 1. Telemetry is useful for the developers for bug fixing. Disabling it, will not magically increase your privacy. Privacy is an illusion nowadays anyway. 2. You can uninstall MS store apps from the Settings. The ones you cannot uninstall are system apps and should stay where they are. 3. Disabling some Windows services is kind of ok for security reasons to reduce your attach surface but in the end not so important. Performance wise it is pointless, with a modern system you will notice no slowdowns if they are on. 4. Handwriting , voice recognition, Copilot, etc. if you don't use them, they will not have an impact to performance anyway. 5. Bloat is subjective. For some people Onedrive is bloat, for me it is an extremely useful feature which I use everyday. To summarise, I do not see the point of apps and scripts to 'debloat' or 'customise' Windows, they will all at some point create issues. [/QUOTE]
