Comment on Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff
meatand2veg@lemmynsfw.com 10 months agoI’ve been using AtlasOS, which is Windows 10 disemboweled from a bunch of bloat. It runs like a dream, my only criticism is that they’ve gutted a bunch of (imo) critical safety features, but they give you the option to reinstate them in their setup files. The next update for it will supposedly add them back in by default.

Excuse me wait ? How is that possible ? Is that like a moddes OS ?

They basically take the Windows install image that’s freely available from Microsoft, and they strip all the garbage from it.
docs.atlasos.net/…/removed-features/
Some of the features they remove are normally included for good reason, like Microsoft Defender and UAC. These OS mods are not meant for people who have no tech knowledge. I wouldn’t install this on my mother’s computer, for example.

Wonder if it’s a version of the Tron Script for Windows 10 which goes on a Windows install and decrapifies it:
