[@patrickglaser1560]

A true service to the community

[@raviexthegod]

And to anyone who wants to know when/where these are, Sponsorblock. It will put the beginning and end timestamp in the scrub-bar at the bottom of the screen, as well as things like the little interacts and even show highlights of a video, and you can configure it to autoskip things like sponsors and interacts. Just know it's a crowd-sourced way of finding it so some videos don't have the sections listed if they were just posted or if their from smaller channels not as many people watch, but it definitely helps a ton.

[@leapbtw]

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU REMOVE EDGE: nothing. But, you can also remove the webview component of Edge, and that DOES break things that depend on it. You can always reinstall Edge Webview manually, and if you do you can also then remove it without windows complaining about it. The thing is that edge also comes back in your pc if you don’t disable the tasks in Task Scheduler and the Update services of Edge

[@jamedlock83]

Removing Edge will NOT break anything. Wish people would stop saying that.

[@ahmeddotgg]

There is very small chance it will break search, didn't believe it until it happened to me

[@AMAA-2009]

You might have done another tweak that broke search, Edge : 1- has an Uninstaller but it's blocked 2- is uninstall blocked by a single registery

[@ethanisaiahmanumpil9408]

it'll break windows copilot and search, but stuff like that won't cause major issues.

[@imnotfeelingd]

It does edge connected to microsoft store

[@EroDhika]

laugh with ghost spectre who need copilot or edge? at least I'm not. no need copilot at the moment, and you know what? microsoft will add copilot integration to the settings, enjoy your copilot.

A truly amazing tool, it just needs 1 extra feature to be perfect for people like myself who keep as many apps off the OS partition as they can for security and maintenance reasons... if only there was a way to change the install target parent folder to another partition it would be perfect, its much quicker and easier to back up and or restore a 40GB partition than a 2 TB partition crammed full...

[@kenrock2]

I have tried using CTT iso creator, it works well on the virtual machine but not really well on primary machine. It gives me weird problems which I never encounter in virtual machine, and frequently gives me BSOD or reboot for no reason. Virtual machine works fine without any problem though. However I would just go with clean install with world region settings and uses CTT tool to debloat the windows 11. It works very well without the need to custom ISO windows with very minimum background processes.

[@sm_nsm8845]

Would be great if you were to compare this to the custom windows isos like atlas os, revios, tiny 11, ghost Spectre etc

[@NotroDan]

That's a great idea, that will be the real test to see what is the best

[@claimdud3104]

Holly molly dude glad I found your video I was about to go back to windows 10 because windows 11 just suckss at optimization and everything really, but now I will try creating my own custom windows 11 with little background processes and noise overall

[@salapolivalenta77]

The tool is outstanding, I am using it for 2 years but keep in mind that Microwin is under development, he told in the latest live that is not fully functional. I tested myself, I think in this summer will be better than nlite tool but NOW as we speak is not polished enough.

[@SukoMoor]

you have a wonderful way of making your audience feel involved!

[@Rich-b3b]

i will admit the CTT is great but with a little more effert you can install windows iso with the world region setting and a bit of work youll get your background processes down to something between 59 - 67 without his tool. you also know for sure exactly what has been done to your OS when you do it the way i debloat my iso's..

Hey. Can see you dont have "edge". how can you install minecraft launcher?. i cant then i dont have "edge" om my system

[@FerinSonny]

The Minecraft launcher can still be installed separately via the website; me personally, I use CurseForge far more than the actual vanilla launcher.

[@IdontKnowAtAlllol]

Also what version of Windows 11 were you using as in the debloated version of Windows 11 it had the old Windows 10 styled photos app

[@danish_watts]

I used this tool to make a simple win 11 install leaving defender and edge on - used rufus to make the usb so I could get this installed on my potato pc and I used the “world” option when installing - after installing I launched this tool again just for the ultimate power option - final install was just 19gb and normally it’s 27gb+ - really nice and easy - not sure if I want to run the tweaks cuz I don’t like that many of the options gets locked out or what it does! About 110 processors running without the tweaks

[@lovro_ribic]

Also for the Minecraft benchmark you can use something like: "notrodan" or "dan" as the seed and I think is should give you the same world every time.

[@NotroDan]

I just copied the world to my NAS for each drive

[@rFey]

@@NotroDan The world folder saves loaded chunks, which obviously will change your fps since you're (potentially) not loading the same information on every benchmark. Find the seed on the world download and just regenerate it on every benchmark for more consistent and realistic results

I removed the edge and boom now my windows 11 pro use 1.4gb ram idle and if you remove microsoft store too it will be 1 gb ram idle 😮😮

[@lovro_ribic]

As far as I see it Microwin is currently more of a testing thing. I think chris titus said he will improve on microwin (microwin isnt his project). I can install a normal bloated iso and using only the toolbox I can get it from about 130/140 to less than 70. And from 3gb ram to about 1.6

Any idea how to fix this. I created a microwin iso for windows 11 but clicked windows pro. When I tried to launch the iso on my desktop it’s asking for a product key. Then when I go back into the CT utility it won’t let me change ithe windows SKU back to windows home. Edit I have windows 11 but not windows 11 pro so I’m assuming I just need to make a windows 11 home iso but I can’t. How do I unlock it?

You are so good notro Nice vid Thanks for helping

[@darkphase7799]

Honestly I make my own stripped down ISO's that are stripped of all things I don't need. I am guessing the intent of Chris's tool is to reduce the telemetry and footprint of a windows install, without breaking any functionality. I think this is a good simple option for people beginning the custom ISO journey, but yes I do wish it stripped out the preinstalled bloatware. I know for me I have made my own ISO's using MSMG Toolkit and NTlite and I have had experiences where I have had to restart/remake the ISO because I stripped out things that bricked functionality that I needed. I do hope Chris creates an advanced version of Microwin in the future. What I wish even more is that Microsoft would make a better more advanced installer that gives you the option of what you do and don't want installed. For instance it could have a checklist with things like "Do you intend to use a printer?" "Do you intend to use intend to use a web cam?" "Do you intend to have your computer on a home network" and so on, then only install the components needed for those to operate, but leave it as an option to download those features in the future if needed. Windows has so many functions that have been added over time, many which are not ever needed by a home user. It all just adds to the overall bloat.

hi there,since u said u build ur own custom ISOs would you by any chance know how I can build an ISO that has all my CURRENT apps installed ? so when i reinstall it on same machine( in case my hdd has any problems ) it would be like i installed the same system without having to redownload the updates and reinstall the apps, i can't seem to find a tool to do this , and the " norton ghost " image doesnt seem to work for me , i am on windows 10. ur help would be appreciated if u could point me to any apps/videos where I can learn this

Hey Notro!
