Unfortunately I no longer remember all the stuff I downloaded for 10 to make it manageable years ago so will be starting fresh from scratch with 11. You can change the start menu and task bar in settings. You can also uninstall or "hide" many of the default programs and features, like Cortana, Copilot, and notifications. It can be a bit of an annoying, looping labyrinth but it's doable without any external apps or scripts. If you know you won't use OneDrive you should also sign out of it ASAP and remove it from the list of start up applications.

I had a SSD fail. Long story for later . I replaced it upgraded to 11. I get everything back like it should be. I get a warning that storage was full. So I log in to see what it was about. I see a few things I could delete. Well what I didnt know is that it deleted it in both locations. So I had to unlink it and deactivate Onedrive. If I hadnt already had physical backups I would have lost everything. I know what M$ is doing. Collects the data from the auto backups from everyone who upgrades. There isnt a explanation for it otherwise.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you spend 30 minutes in settings you can get it 90% of the way there and the next 10% can be gotten with registry edits.

Board_hunter567 09/03/25 2:28:32 PM #36:	WingsOfGood posted... Got any cool guides to share? I don't follow any specific guide, I go through the built in settings section by section. Anything to do with analytics I disable and any program/feature I don't use I uninstall (this includes signing out of and uninstalling OneDrive). The only things that need registry fixes are the context menu and unattended sleep timeout. I remembered one other option that's out of the way, something which also affects 10. In "power options" there's a setting for Fast Startup inexplicably found under "choose what the power button does" which prevents true power cycling. This genuinely causes stability problems and with SSDs being the norm there's zero reason why it needs to be enabled by default. Aressar posted...
