Did you use any software to de-bloat, or everything manually?

I used this to debloat it, works like a charm, the essential fixes do a lot of stuff for you, pretty quickly.

@orangpelupa normally, I lock the framerate at 60fps. The difference is staggering when it comes to W11 responsiveness though.

@Malo as I said, the debloat utility I shared does wonder tbh, it's very easy to use and it removes many apps like Mail, autosearch and a myriad of things.

Unless I go back hunting for the post in question, you ideally should be referencing the post or the utility in question when posting this particular result of debloating. Hence, my question of what you're actually doing.

i see, so the improvement is in the W11 (ux?) itself.

i skipped W11 slowness by using

- ueli, for start menu instant search https://ueli.app/#/
- Everything, for instant file search https://www.voidtools.com/ (also work for doing instant search across network drives)

as to me, the "block start menu from accessing the internet to make search works instantly" trick that works fantastic on W10, didn't work on W11 (the start search still took a few secs).

What does an empty desktop and lack of icons have to do with being debloated? Not having anything visible in your screenshot really has nothing to do with what is running in the background.

Yeah, I'm really curious what exactly 'debloating' means here. It's a relevant term when we're talking about removing OEM crapware, it's another matter when it's a clean install and you're just disabling services that usually sit at idle.

Edit: Ah ok, removing mail and...search. How that's 'debloating' and improving game performance, or performance in general, I have absolutely no idea.

It's my understanding this is about all the services that MS has active in default windows.

right, I copied the link to share here but didn't paste it in the end. This is the simple but very functional utility I used. It's open source.

https://github.com/teeotsa/windows-11-debloat

It does a bit of everything and takes like one click. No autocomplete anywhere, it cleans the task scheduler, it removes all the bloatware included with Windows 11 like the mail app, spotify and other stuff-, etc etc.

A log from using it on my laptop:

There are similar apps, like Chris Titus' one. and a few others -perhaps a bit more complex-.

This video shows a few very interesting options:

No description of what exactly it does, with a link to a ("dead, lol") discord server for issues. Sweet.

Is there any data on what this actually these utils do for overall performance, though? Like I get you want stuff like advertising ID/tracking disabled, but you said "Windows 11 is lightning fast when debloated". The video you posted does not address this at all, just quickly goes through the UI of various apps. Like, what does disabling Feedback Hub and Mail have to do with performance?

Give us some numbers.
 
W11 is lightning fast for me without touching anything basically. Even on older systems as far back as the i7 920 systems. Just make sure to have an SSD (SATA 2 is enough) and a good internet connection.

Tbh, I an't compare. I had a very sluggish Windows 11 before, and I truly mean that, just because I had used several GPUs on it over time, had a few apps installed, some that I didn't use, although not many, but it was super sluggish, specially using things like VS Studio or loading the OS -only at times-.

Right now it's super snappy and I don't beat about the bush using it.

yup,I had an internet radio connection, but a few months ago they installed optic fiber here and I got 1Gb (actual speed) compared to the unreliable 20Mb of unrealiable internet radio speed I had before.... Now I just install and uninstall games on the fly, on demand.

Additionally, I had W11 installed on a typical 1TB SSD -which I now use for Linux-, fast enough. Now I installed W11 on a NVMe, and optimized it.

Do you use your W11 for gaming or for general purpose?

the weirdest things happen to you. I tested on my PC and couldn't replicate that. I remember that I wanted smaller icons in the taskbar and dunno what I did but go time and date were unaligned, the date could only be seen cut by the middle, half of it was overhanging from the OS viewport.

Did you manage to find what the issue is?

a reboot fixed it.

as per usual of windows gremlins. reboot = gremlins die.
..
at least until they got resurrected and keeps haunting non-stop.

then only clean reinstall would exorcise them
 
My biggest issue with Windows 11 is every time I get a major windows update all of my audio settings get changed. I use an audio interface for my headphones and microphone, and every time the bitrates, the sampling rates and the default devices get switched. I'll go into discord and nothing works and then I have to switch my devices around and then make sure a bunch of things are correct so my discord audio is not distorted. Huge pain in the ass.

oh dont worry! every major update it changes a lot of stuff to default (or back to OOBE/asking questions), not just audio settings.

In Settings, in the notifications page there are a couple of boxes in there to control what it might ask you after an update.
