No more bloat — Talon completely fixes Microsoft Windows 11 in just two clicks

Windows 11 is perceived by some users as overly complex due to its numerous features. The Raven Development Team has developed Talon, a tool that simplifies the Windows 11 experience by removing unwanted bloatware with two clicks. It is recommended to use Talon only on a fresh installation of Windows 11 to avoid compatibility issues. Talon can be downloaded from the Raven website or GitHub, but users must disable Windows Defender and run it in Administrator mode due to significant changes it makes to the OS. The software allows users to select a web browser and install additional Raven applications while repositioning the taskbar to the left and removing pre-installed apps like Microsoft Edge and OneDrive. After completion, Talon restarts the system and creates a log file of the changes made. A demonstration video is also available.
