Very impressive. I'd love to see a listing of what exactly they did to get system services down THAT low. The site says it just covers Windows Defender and Restore Points & System Reset, but it's got to be more than that.

I wish I'd known about this program on my most recent install -- would definitely have given it a spin on an older machine with a quality videocard.

This is really nice. These are some useful resources for optimizing and building trimmed-down versions of Windows 11. The AtlasOS offers a clutter-free experience with performance improvements, while tiny11builder provides scripts for creating a lightweight Windows 11 image. According to a third-party review, the Tiny11Builder tool can generate a Windows 11 image that requires only 2GB of RAM.

Here's another recently found resource -- there seems to be hundreds of them ATM:

Rectify11 improves the consistency of Windows 11 by modifying system files in a safe way, and by using various programs to improve the Windows 11 experience.
