Hey r/sysadmin, I got tired of outdated debloat guides and sketchy tools, so I built a clean, community-maintained list of verified Windows utilities: πŸ”— https://github.com/heyvoon/windows-essential-tools **Includes:** - Privacy/telemetry blockers (O&O ShutUp10++, W10Privacy) - Debloat scripts (Chris Titus WinUtil, Win11Debloat) - UI tweaks (Open-Shell, SophiApp) - AI feature removers (Copilot, Recall) **Why use it:** βœ… All tools tested on Win10 22H2+ / Win11 23H2+ βœ… Clear categories + one-line launch commands βœ… Automated link checking + active maintenance ### 🀝 Want to help? No coding required! - πŸ› Spot a broken link? β†’ [Report it in 30 seconds](https://github.com/heyvoon/windows-essential-tools/issues/new?template=tool-request.yml) - πŸ’‘ Found a great tool? β†’ Suggest it via the same form - πŸ” Tested a tool on the latest Windows update? β†’ Share your results - 🌐 Want to help translate or improve docs? β†’ Let me know! Maintainers review submissions within days and merge on your behalf. ⚠️ Always backup first. This repo only links to official sources. What tools do you trust? What should we add next?
