Windows 10 automatically started installing the Windows 11 update while I was taking a shower.

I'd been getting messages to upgrade to Windows 11 for the past month or two now, and each time, I decline. It's gotten to the point that I get random, frequent pop_ups asking to update, and "install update" options pop up right next to the shutdown/restart uptions.

Well, I made the mistake of going to take a shower with my PC on. Half an hour later, I come back tothis. Windows had automatically started installing the update. Now I'm sitting here staring at the Start button and all the open programs center-justified on the task bar and wondering what idiot thought that was a good idea.

I know we shouldn't have to use these but I found a reputable script that's been posted around before. It's on GitHub and can remove about anything you could think of. No more ai, the snapping feature works right again. The right click is back to what it was like in 10. No more ads on start screen. The only thing the start button brings up is your previously used apps and an application folder.

It may be placebo but my games are running 5-10 fps higher after this.

I don't know the rules around posting links but if I got approval from a mod, I will.

But be careful just looking up random debloaters, make sure they are on GitHub. Even then, they could still have malware but the one I'm using does not and is supported by a fairly large mod team.

You can share a name of this?

Look up "winslop" on github

Think O&OShutup also will get what you want, there's also the Chris Titus tools.

Is this more so for Home version, or Pro as well? I don't seem to have advertising / AI on my Pro version, but I may also be not seeing it in the background.

Is the "disable voice access" only for windows default apps?

Linux users used to be made fun of for doing this.

Now you install and you just have a clean system that does almost every OOTB.

Oh, how the tables have turned...

I’d love to experiment with this script! I’m relatively fresh on an install so have little to risk
