Experiences Debloating and Creating Windows Installation Media

I’m curious to hear about everyone’s experiences with the Chris Titus debloating tool.
I tried it today, and so far it seems to be doing a very good job. My Windows machine was already running fine, but I have noticed a measurable improvement in responsiveness and overall performance. One thing I was particularly happy about was finally getting rid of the Windows 11 widgets, and RAM usage now appears to be noticeably lower.
Another feature that caught my attention is the ability to create customized Windows installation media. From what I can see, it allows you to bypass some of Microsoft's more tedious setup requirements, such as signing in with a Microsoft account and connecting to Wi-Fi during installation. I haven't tested that part yet, but it is definitely something I want to try the next time I reinstall Windows. It also seems like a useful tool to keep on hand when helping friends, family members, or colleagues reinstall their systems, or simply for emergency recovery situations.

I heard about this before but hadn't tried it until your post. Haha. There's loads of useful tweaks in there, and it's even got a few advanced tweaks that WinAeroTweaker doesn't have. Moreover, when I told it to disable all updates, it seems to have even terminated log creation for them. So, it actually disables them at the start. More than I can say for other solutions and brute-force methods I've employed in the past.

I have a Win11 iso and will give the image creation a go one of these days. Very handy indeed, and a tiny little program! Love stuff like this. Thanks for the post!

It does cost 10 bucks, but entirely worth it if you want to disable those widgets, enable more high performance plans, uninstall Edge fully, and more.

If you grab it from GetHub it won't cost you anythingng. The app is great I think the developer deserves the $10.
Use this script code to launch in the PowerShell:
