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I got tired of outdated debloat guides and sketchy tools, so I built a clean, community-maintained list of verified Windows utilities:
π 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:**
β
All tools tested on Win10 22H2+ / Win11 23H2+
β
Clear categories + one-line launch commands
β
Automated link checking + active maintenance
### π€ Want to help? No coding required!

- π Want to help translate or improve docs? β Let me know!
Maintainers review submissions within days and merge on your behalf.
β οΈ Always backup first. This repo only links to official sources.
What tools do you trust? What should we add next? Let's build the most reliable Windows tool list together. π
