Use blackviper.com for services tuning, askwoody.com for WUDs, Britec09 on youtube, services.msc, gpedit.msc and regedit for other tweaks

I turn off a bunch of unneeded services, here's what I have disabled as an example, some are from intrusive 3rd party stuff and the rest I don't use.

You can use shutup10 to disable a bunch of stuff you don't need as well.

If i had my w7 rig up Id show a baseline of whats what, but i dont atm

Run the shutup10 app after you've installed windows updates, you will need to re-run it if you update windows down the line but changes will remain until then.

Wow!



I've yet to be able to better this Atlas iso.

Use blackviper.com for services tuning

Ummm, FYI - Years ago, he was THEE source for services tuning. But he stopped doing this with "earlier" versions of Windows 10.

As he notes on his website now,

Black Viper’s Windows 10 Service Configurations

This information is based upon the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803/17134.1) released April 2018.

Please note: this information is no longer updated. Please take that fact into consideration when reviewing this information.

and (his bold italics),

No, I will not update service configurations for Windows 11… I don’t even use Windows anymore; I use Linux for general computing

So not sure BV should even be used for W10 since his last update was nearly 4 years and several iterations of W10 back.

Thanks guys - I'll be continuing to use Atlas while I get the hang of this experimenting.

Keep us posted.

If you want to go deep. Check out the Tron Script. I've used it on several systems. It can take a very long time.

As always, I implore you before using this, make sure you have a valid backup image of your system.

Just use factory de-bloated Win10: Enterprise LTSC 2021.

I'll check it out. I'm not worried about losing anything on my pc's...it literally takes no time to delete, format and re-install a fresh OS. Most experimentation takes place on a separate dedicated hard drive anyway.

Ah yes for all the flourishing entrepreneurs in here, not to mention it's piracy if you don't hold a legal license which 100% of people yoinking LTSC off the interwebs don't have. Using it unactivated is also piracy going by Microsoft's ToS.

Another pointless debloating thread... Unwatching after this.

3600X and thinking disabling services makes any difference. Lol.

I thought one could get a Evaluation copy of Enterprise LTSC...piracy still?

yeah, thats what i call a torrent.

i tried it early in win 10 history (arrrggh matey!) and it didn't have games like candy crush, live tiles or like allowing ads in the lock screen by default and don't have to worry about windows update screwing things up. but meh, there were features via WU that i was missing so i went back to pro and found scripts to remove games, news, yada yada (w/o breaking anything) and fortunatley windows update is much much better about NOT wrecking things in the meantime.

Just finished installing Atlas OS on the gamer...I'll leave it be for the time being. I never installed a ssd in my everyday pc. As soon as I figure out the best bang for the buck for a 1T NVMe drive I will order one and install it in the daily for the experimentations.

 

[Deleted member 74752]

I just installed a evaluation copy of Enterprise LTSC 21H2 and after running it through the toolbox as I did the others I don't see it as worth jumping through the hoops to use it. For some reason it doesnt show the same promise as the standard build. The others are free...may as well run with them.

Personally I look fondly on the days when the first thing to do was to install NIC drivers from a CD. Those were the days.
