Please do not trust modified windows installs based on old (22H2) update packs, you're much better off debloating your fresh, up-to-date, already licensed install using some powershell wizardry...

Chris Titus has made a gui for this that you can access with a single powershell command. He also has made a guide on which settings he recommends to debloat a fresh install.

This way you aren't entrusting your OS, privacy and data to some random unsecure repack. I can find the link for you if you would like :)

Apologies for not having seen this until now, if you are still wondering and haven't found the tool yourself, you can launch it by opening a windows terminal as admin and typing

irm christitus.com/win | iex

as soon as chocolatey is installed a gui will launch allowing you to easily install common software, uninstall bloat, apply tweaks (such as disabling telemetry), and control windows updates. It's a great one stop shop for setting up any fresh/existing windows install, and is continuously updated with reliable and transparent documentation.

If you would prefer a video about the tool, the latest one is here: https://youtu.be/GQBRrVGgB_Q

  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
