1. Update 7-7 – Update-Help fixed, the script will no longer get stuck here
   Update #2 – Resolved a couple more errors relating to 20H2 and 21H1 it should work for all now.

2. I use Wintoys for a month. My C drive turned from 125 GB free to 175 GB free out of 230 GB total. Only 55 GB is occupied now 😅

3. Is there a way to install windows 11 on a Windows 10 limited laptop, with the current Utility?

4. how about tweaks like ultimate windows tweaker

5. is it possible to uninstall it?

6. Nothing special

7. please make a version that support win11 22h2

8. i use this and now my pc wont turn off

9. Am I going to be coughing up $5 each time you update, or am I missing something? I'm not trying to be an asshole, I think it's a legit question.

10. Do I have to run this at every reboot. I ran it and it eliminated alot of Processes but they are currently back and running after a reboot?

11. Is there a list of exactly what the essential tweaks do?

12. How did this take several years to develop? Its just got links to your videos on how to remove viruses from the button, all of the other options can be done manually through windows, stop wasting peoples time…

13. Hi.
    I use this right after every windows install I do so thank you very much…
    I wonder if there is a way to install Windows Defender?, I made a windows 10 image removing everything but i need Defender and can not find a way to do it…

14. Hi Chris. Used your Windows utility and another one. Now … all my desktop internet shortcuts say "The application cannot be opened". Tried all the fixes on the internet but still have problem. Can you please help?

15. Just before minute 11 you say the first thing the script does is create a restore point.
    Looking at the script, it appears that this is done at the begining of the script that runs after cliclikng Essential Tweaks

16. Interesting that it looks like you have PowerShell 7.1
    
    ( Look top left in the black window from minute 2 and 41 seconds )
    
    I had to install that to get it, both in windows 10 and windows 11

    I just compared your script from this time with that from your first GUI discussed in video
    
    The Best Windows 10 Toolbox
    
    from Dec 4, 2020

18. So you have removed the disable windows search button. But I note that the coding that was behind it is still in the script. That is a large amount of coding. The coding you have in disable Cortana (search) is much less. So wots the deal there?

19. where is the whitelist and blacklist option ????
    This is for power users …not lazy people. essesntial tweaks removes my alienware software man,

20. Thank you. I'm just about to upgrade my computers to Win 11 and I remembered my experience with 10 & your apps & video's helped me through it then & so I've returned for more advice. Thank you again.

21. Microsoft Meet?

22. Wish there was a date on this…have OLD debloat…

23. i loved the idea of do and undo for each tweak !! thx

24. A couple of suggestions.
    
    Regarding that, the script is relying on an internet connection for

    _ 1 installing stuff

    _ 2 and also for running the proprietary software from O&O which does the Debloating.

    _ 3 the script itself is run
    somehow directly across the internet.

    These 3 limits its use to when
    you are online. I would suggest that is sometimes
    a bit unnecessary.

    I will address those 3 points,
    if I may, in 3 replies below, since the YouTube anti-spam Bot is a bit aggressive
    just now, and tanks most long comments.

    (This is then post 1 of 4 that hopefully will

    post. If there are not at least 3 replies to this comment, then you know the
    
    Bot got me again!)

25. Can anyone point me into the direction of a copy of the actual script used here?

    I realize that the script has developed and advanced in the meantime, but it’s for learning purposes as I review the development of the script: I was away for a while and am trying to catch up on the last years stuff.

26. Thank you

27. i can't install the package, it says like "it has some error installing it" help me!

28. HI,
    I am desperately trying to remove all remnants of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, its messed with my system and I have been advised to use cmd prompt in admin mode when I have found the locations of the utility on the C drive, I don't know how to do that!
    I can see the locations of the intel utility however I am unable to uninstall them, despite knowing exactly where it is on my C drive.

    I can get administrative access to the cmd prompt but then i am stuck please help!

29. The best Windows debloater utility is "Windows 10 Tweaker" built by the Russians, and it's definitely better that your crap, Chris.

30. Holy crap. 3 gigs of ram and 0% utilization across the board after using this. You are a wizard!

31. Can you do this for windows 11 ?

32. Sorry, this script DOES NOT WORK on anyone that is on LTSC as we do NOT have winget built in and we do not have the App Manager on our systems. We need your Chocolatey based script back – this winget script is dead on arrival.

    FYI – Winget will NO INSTALL from your script if you do not have App Manager installed, so this is the reason why this does not work for LTSC LTSB users so nothing works on your script as nothing installs/saves.

33. Is it gonna work with windows 11?

34. This is pretty great tool.

35. Okular in windows is the best PDF viewer imo.Not only is it really great as a default for KDE. Also MPV is dope.

36. Hey y'all, can I use this on Windows 11?

37. What about windows defender Antivirus ?

38. is this also compatible with windows 11 ??

39. Can i run essential tweak and disable background apps option on my school pc that uses word and onedrive?

40. From the bottom of my heart, god bless ur soul for doin this! ✌

41. Hi Chris, I've win 10 boot camp partition on my MacBook pro, and when I tray to run essential tweaks it stocks on creating restore point !!!!!?
    Please help me if you have any idea? 💕 🙏

42. Damn I can't explain how furious I'm right now. But dude I can't even use my browser on my own. Everything in locked. Like Everything. There is a think names as "Managed By Organization" on my browser. If you guys don't wanna get in trouble then please don't use this shit.

43. This utility made my system use 60% at idle and 10-20% CPU. I don't know how but it made it worse.

44. Cannot get this to work. Logged in as non-admin – start Powershell as Admin – Toolbox comes up – click Disable Action Center – Current Status and Powershell show Finished, ready for next task. Reboot & Action Center still there. Try to install ImageGlasss – Finished Installing, waiting for next task. Powershell says Installing ImageGlass & does not go back to normal prompt. ImageGlass is not installed. Logout & login as Admin – doesn't work there either. 192 processes running – click Essential Tweaks – reboot – 198 processes running. Go into cmd and type winget –version = 1.12653. Nothing seems to be working – any ideas? Running Win10 Pro 21H1, Bitdefender, Malwarebytes.

45. Works in windows 8.1 pro?

46. after 3 days of use things i noticed are:
    My cpu at idle used to run at full speed , however now it runs at lower speed at idle and in full speed while doing task.
    Low lags while playing online games such as fortnite.

    I have only applied Essential tweaks option and every thing works great. Thumbs up for this project.
