In English they call it <em>debloat</em> or <em>bloatware</em> removal. In this post I explain how to do it on a fresh Windows install, but it also works on an existing one.</p> <p>The point is to remove apps, services and pre-installed junk that aren&rsquo;t essential, consume resources and worst of all, affect performance and UX.</p> <br clear="left"/> <style> table { font-size: 0.8em; } </style>http://luispa.com/en/posts/2024-08-24-win-decente-obsoleto/Sat, 24 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000http://luispa.com/en/posts/2024-08-24-win-decente-obsoleto/<img src="http://luispa.com/img/posts/logo-windows.svg" alt="windows logo" width="150px" height="150px" style="float:left; padding-right:25px" /> <p>In this post I explain how I configure a Windows 11 that I&rsquo;m going to use for software development, testing or demos. I don&rsquo;t need frills since it won&rsquo;t have sensitive data, I want its essence, bare-bones, with few applications, some browsing and that&rsquo;s it. In the end it became a technical exercise &ndash; removing everything I can, ads, Edge, extras, installing minimal drivers, a local account, having it boot and be available as soon as possible.</p> <p>Note: a year later I decided to create a new <a href="http://luispa.com/en/posts/2025-08-03-win-decente/">decent Windows 11</a> (2025).</p> <br clear="left"/> <style> table { font-size: 0.8em; } </style>
