This goes over debloating and slimming down Windows 10 so you get maximum performance from your PC.
I made a guide going over the debloat process two years ago https://christitus.com/debloat-windows-10/ - The guide has evolved and the github project I was using has also improved.
New shorter command! (old command still works though…)
iwr -useb https://git.io/JJ8R4 | iex
If you are coming here from the YouTube video I have taken all the scripts below and a system admin script I used a lot in the past to make a streamlined debloat script. This script will optimize Windows and can be run multiple times if you have an update ruin all the optimizations. I have also made it very easy to launch. Here is the source files: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/win10script
If you want to just run this on any system, you can easily copy and paste this into a Admin Powershell prompt and watch it do everything for you. It does have two prompts based on user feedback. Let me know what you think below!

Current Lineup:
The project I use has been developed for many years now and is extremely good. Here is the source github project I use:

This is a new project that was brought to my attention, but has quickly made a name for itself. It works very well and is typically more up to date than the above project.

I recommend running this tool under the following conditions:
Recommended Options:
I generally always enable Dark Mode and Install 3.5 .NET but that is entirely my personal preference.
