Tiny11 Builder requires a clean installation of Windows 11 to enhance the user experience. Key criteria for any utility aimed at replicating Tiny11 Builder's benefits include disabling telemetry, removing preinstalled bloatware, addressing issues with Microsoft Edge (including uninstallation), and mitigating problems linked to Microsoft OneDrive (also through uninstallation).
Utilities mentioned for further refining Windows 11 include:
- Rufus: Creates installation media without requiring a Microsoft account sign-in or hardware checks.
- MSEdgeDirect: Allows the use of a preferred web browser for accessing stories from Widgets and web-based search results.
- ExplorerPatcher: Addresses performance and reliability concerns within File Explorer.
Win11Debloat is highlighted as a utility that meets optimization requirements, having undergone changes since August 2024. The updated process allows users to launch a Terminal with admin privileges to download and run Win11Debloat directly. It features three modes: Default mode, Custom mode, and App removal. Custom mode offers options for app removal, disabling telemetry, turning off tips and suggestions, and disabling Bing web search, Bing AI, and Cortana, among others.
