De-Enshittifing Windows 11 Version 25H2: Win11Debloat ⭐

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.

De-Enshittifing Windows 11 Version 25H2: Tiny11 Builder ⭐

Tiny11 Builder is a PowerShell-based tool designed to create a custom version of the Windows 11 ISO, allowing for a streamlined installation compared to the standard version. It operates as a script but has limitations in customization unless users have technical expertise. Users can reinstall applications excluded from the installation image, but this is not possible with Tiny11coremaker, which removes essential features like Windows Defender and Windows Update. The creator, NTDEV, has improved Tiny11 Builder by disabling telemetry and enhancing the removal process for Microsoft Edge. Tiny11 Builder aims to reduce the installation size and resource consumption of Windows, making it suitable for older PCs. To use Tiny11 Builder, users must download the latest Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft and the Tiny11 Builder ZIP file from GitHub.

Developer creates Windows 11 version for older, low-spec PCs

NTDev has released an experimental download of tiny11 25H2, a streamlined version of Windows 11 for low-specification computers. This version eliminates unnecessary applications and features, reducing hard drive space requirements and allowing users to bypass the Microsoft Account login during setup. It is built on Windows 11 Version 25H2 and focuses on creating a more efficient installation file, providing a smoother experience for older computers. Key features include no minimum specifications for installation, lower hard drive space usage, and faster performance. Additionally, a more minimalist variant called tiny11 core has been introduced, which reduces installation file size by nearly two-thirds but cannot be updated through Windows Update. The developer assures that all image files are created using the tiny11 builder tool with Microsoft programs to minimize security vulnerabilities. Users can download tiny11 25H2 from the Internet Archive.

Stuck on Windows 10? Tiny11 25H2 is here to answer the prayers of those who can’t upgrade to Windows 11

Tiny11 25H2 is a lightweight variant of Windows 11 designed for users with outdated hardware, allowing installation on any PC that supports Windows 10. It removes many default features to provide a more efficient installation and offers the option to use a local account during setup, which is increasingly limited in standard Microsoft versions. The release coincides with the end of Windows 10 support, and while it introduces minor enhancements over the previous version, it does not significantly advance functionality. Users are advised to be cautious with third-party installation images but can use the Tiny11 Builder to create personalized ISO files.

This tiny version of Windows 11 fits into just 2.29 GB and is ‘extremely aggressive’ in removing bloat such as Xbox, Solitaire and Defender

NTDev has compressed the Windows 11 operating system to a 2.29 GB file, down from the original 7.04 GB ISO size of the Insider build 26200. This project, called nano11, removes features such as Xbox, Weather, Office, Solitaire, Windows Update, Windows Defender, most drivers, Bitlocker, Search, biometrics, accessibility features, audio, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer. The OS can run with just 184 MB of RAM, compared to Microsoft's minimum requirement of 4 GB. A text-only version can be created that occupies only 100 MB but lacks a graphical user interface. NTDev previously released tiny11, which also minimized Windows 11 by removing additional features.

Custom Windows 11 builder axes Microsoft’s AI features, whack-a-moling Copilot, Outlook, and Teams — new Tiny11 Builder release should be Windows 11 25H2 ready

NTDEV has released an updated version of Tiny11 Builder, which allows users to create streamlined installations of Windows 11. The new version can remove applications like Copilot, Outlook, and Teams and is compatible with Windows 11 25H2. It supports all Windows 11 SKUs and languages for both x64 and arm64 architectures and has been tested on Windows 11 24H2, 25H2, and Canary Build 27934. Tiny11 Builder operates through a PowerShell script called tiny11maker.ps1, which reduces a Windows ISO obtained from Microsoft. Users need oscdimg.exe from the Windows ADK to bypass Windows 11 system requirements. The distribution package includes an unattended answer file for a smoother OOBE experience. A 'Tiny11 core Builder' option is also available for testing, creating smaller Windows 11 images but lacking certain serviceability features.
