I feel like the days of debloating Windows has passed, it is getting far too complicated and there’s just some things you can’t turn off without breaking everything, in addition updates sometimes change those settings back or reinstall programs you thought you removed, it’s an endless cat and mouse game I’ve been playing since Windows 95. I suppose if you absolutely need to use Windows it’s good to do what you can to mitigate but I think for me it’s time to move on.
I was so into this shit when I was a teenager, reading Mondo 2000 and early WIRED, visiting the WELL, it seemed so cyberpunk and cool. After the events of the past 30 years it just seems like a fucking nightmare now.
