Hello members, My wife just got a refurbished Dell laptop with w11 pro. I would like to remove as much as possible 'clutter' either via cmd or PowerShell. I will also export my hosts file from my LTSC and update her win11 hosts. Has anyone a suggestion where to find the relevant cmd or PowerShell for win11? TIA
Thanks @Enthousiast ! After going through the win 11 section a bit I have second thoughts and wonder if I should upgrade from the 11pro to Enterprice 11 LTSC, if that is possible? Edit: Though not sure if I can strip out the rubish?
Heres a idea. remove any files or registry key that have these below. BUT you must ignore the languages that you use. (Use me as a example) I would remove all of these except en-GB en-US because thats the only language i know. I dont know know how to read or write in any other languages. I only know English Also you can do the same thing in the registry. For modding the registry. I use RegistryFinder64. You'll also need a tool called "Power Run" and grant "RegistryFinder64" to higher level permissions. it has extra permissions to delete registry key without complaint. Also have add "take ownership" to the menu, so when you right click something you'll have a option to "take ownership" and delete file and/or folder (You can only highlight 15 folders at a time to take ownership and then delete Your system will be much snappier after that. youll save over a GB in Files and Folders and remove a few megabytes from the registry Side note - can someone write a script to automate the process. and the registry too <-----basically the script should ask what languages to save. In my case en-GB and en-US and evertyhing else gets removed af-ZA am-ET ar-SA as-IN az-Latn-AZ be-BY bg-BG bn-IN bs-Latn-BA ca-ES ca-ES-Valencia chr-CHER-US cs-CZ cy-GB da-DK de-DE el-GR en-GB<--------I dont remove this en-US<--------I dont remove this es-ES es-MX et-EE fa-IR fi-FI fil-PH fr-CA fr-FR ga-IE gd-GB gl-ES gu-IN he-IL hi-IN hr-HR hu-HU hy-AM id-ID is-IS it-IT ja-jp ka-GE kk-KZ km-KH kn-IN kok-IN ko-KR lb-LU lo-LA lt-LT lv-LV mi-NZ mk-MK ml-IN mr-IN ms-MY mt-MT nb-NO ne-NP nl-NL nn-NO or-IN pa-IN pl-PL pt-BR pt-PT ro-RO ru-RU sk-SK sl-SI sq-AL sr-Cyrl-BA sr-Cyrl-RS sr-Latn-RS sv-SE ta-IN te-IN th-TH tr-TR tt-RU ug-CN uk-UA ur-PK uz-Latn-UZ vi-VN zh-CN zh-TW
