Comment on How to Actually Clean Install Windows 11

After the install. Create admin and user accounts not tied to ms. Use the user account normally, and when you need admin you enter the second account details.

Use Sophia script to clean up all the advert apps bundled with win11.

I wish I could find a script to remove the advert features from edge for when I have to office. Mozilla Firefox is your day to day browser.

Use chocolatey.org to install ur apps. When you do updates, one command can do it all.

Check start-up scripts, and ensure there is nothing that doesn’t need to be there. Teams no, zoom also no.

Isn't it ironic how you to instructions now to install Windows with a bearable level of bloat? Kinda like installing Arch just for uninstalling/skipping instead of installing.

    In fairness, I don’t have to worry about any of this with Windows.

    So Arch works with every hardware imaginable without issues?

  The sad truth is that most people don’t care about all the bloat and adware.

Any reason to use chocolatey over winget?

  Such a shame that winget is no longer preinstalled in Windows 11. have to install the msix bundle first and remove msstore as source.

  Because you like poorly maintained hacky amateur install scripts

  I’m not OP but some applications are not available on Winget.

I actually managed to excise Edge from my system entirely, so pressing F1 in explorer doesn’t launch it anymore.

Dsspite some people warning that Edge was needed for some “core web functionality” it has broken nothing except the handful of places where they want to force you to launch a link in Edge. In that case nothing happens, but that’s not a big deal since I know how to use search engines to find information, which is the only purpose those features served.

It took quite a few steps but I got there. There are a few extra steps to stop it coming back in the next update but you can do it.

Nothing better than Autoruns for this.

I grew up on Windows, but Microsoft is seriously pushing me towards Linux. Gaming is all that keeps me here. I have a Steam Deck and I love what Valve is doing for gaming on Linux, so I hope that gets better and multiplayer games become possible.

Does the Sophia script allow you to pick and chose what built-in to remove? Some of them are actually useful.

  Yes, it does.
