[@EwanMarshall]

So the log4j exploit is nothing really to do with the java version you are running, it was an exploit in a third party library (log4j) which is an apache software foundation project. It is upto specific programs using this library to update.

[@JosiahBradley]

Yes, but removing the JVM will definitely fix the exploit 🙂 (that wasn't done in the video but probably on the side as he mentioned wanting to hard fail all Java apps) and technically depending on JVM you can remove all vulnerable classes pre execute of any jars containing log4j so a good solution is still to kill Java on your home system to see what else needs patching. It's called a "scream test" in the industry.

[@EwanMarshall]

@@JosiahBradley Sure, but all the basis and information surrounding that here was wrong. I have plenty of reasons to remove java or ensure it is upto date beyond the log4j exploit, finally, there are java apps that use other java logging frameworks without this issue. I was actually surprised that several java applications I use weren't affected until I dove in and found them using other libraries instead. The point is, one does not have to say things about the exploit through ignorance or outright misstruths to make these points.

[@sirjarko8762]

I'm on a Windows 11 gaming and rendering PC and went from around 140 processes to around 85. I wasn't expecting to see anything close to that in terms of difference and from my testing everything all still seems to work and I didn't break anything. I appreciate the tutorial my dude.

[@makhan200007]

Having recently purchased a new laptop, after >12 years, i wanted to learn a little about improving windows and setting my laptop to meet my needs, binge watched a few of your videos including this one and can happily say from running 228 processes, it now on 143 after this update. Thankyou Chris.

[@fragalot]

In regedit there is one more path that may have lingering startup items: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Also I see you have Minecraft installed, right after you uninstalled Java... that's likely why you had Java installed in the first place since the Mojang version of Minecraft is based in Java.

That was on my desktop... But I also have a laptop with some weird LE Pentium Silver CPU, which is super weak, which went to only 86 processes after boot. It had around 160 before... most noticeable change during use of bigger apps (browsers with _a lot_ of tabs, mostly), which is very welcome.

I saw that the script disabled the FontCache service, depending on you used applications it might not be the best idea. It can slow down any program that loads a lot of fonts. Might just want to keep it since well it is there to speed things up.

Hey, Chris. Have you ever tried installing Windows in a VHD (Virtualbox Disk Image) and then move it to an NTFS partition so you can boot it on real hardware?
