Thanks for letting me know. Here's a shorter link that hopefully works: https://www.beyondtrust.com/assets/documents/BeyondTrust-Mic...
I see, thank you for the detailed reply. One solution could have been uninstalling open-shell, that way the start menu would be normal again. Some of open-shells search behavior can be changed, although it can be a…
I see, thank you for the information.
It removes certain executables, instead of just changing some settings or registry values.
It's not that deep. I agree it is definitely not ideal, and in future this will no longer be required.
If you ever try it out again and run into issues, consider asking for help in the group chat: https://t.me/+QQO5yu0wJxwyOGVh If you have the time, I am curios about what stopped working. Thanks for your input nonetheless
I think you severely overestimate how important security updates are.
I do agree removing Windows Update does pose some security risk, however I don't think said risk is nearly as bad as some make it out to be, and I personally think the benefits of Windows Ameliorated greatly outweigh…
Windows Ameliorated does not require installing from an ISO. That was merely made for convenience, and for those without the basic technical knowledge required to perform a manual amelioration. There is detailed…
The ISO was merely made for convenience, and for those without the basic technical knowledge required to perform a manual amelioration. Also, Microsoft already tried without success to shut it down in the past, after…
Using group policy or registry edits does NOT fully remove Windows spyware or telemetry. Windows Ameliorated is different in this regard, as it actually gets rid of the spyware on an executable level, meaning the…
There is good reason for all of those. 1. ~70% of the Windows attack surface as of 2020 is caused by using an administrator user (Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20210618023509/https://www.beyon...). This does not…
Tron is very different from Windows Ameliorated, and doesn't remove all the spyware on an executable level like Ameliorated does. Windows can be ameliorated completely legally by doing the amelioration process manually…
Not at all, please do research into projects before making unfounded claims. Windows can be ameliorated completely legally by doing the amelioration process manually and entering the key before running the scripts.…
It's not illegal if you enter a Windows key before a manual amelioration, and even if you use the pre-made ISO, it's extremely unlikely anyone is going to go after you for it, unless you're a business. I disagree that…
Give Windows Ameliorated a shot man, it truly does get rid of the BS. Not just with some registry edits and cosmetic settings options, but it actually gets rid of the spyware on an executable level, meaning the…
For some it is necessary to use Windows. Windows Ameliorated is for those who both need (or desire) Windows, but don't want the intrusive spyware that comes with it.
Technically using AME from the pre-built ISO is illegal, however realistically no one will ever go after you for it, unless you're a business. You can however legally do it by self-ameliorating and entering a key before…
There's still spyware on LTSC. Windows Ameliorated removes said spyware on an executable level, not just by using policy or registry edits. What makes you think most people would be better off running LTSC? For privacy,…
Curios, what makes you prefer LTSC over Windows Ameliorated?
Windows Ameliorated does much more than what O&O ShutUp does. It completely removes spyware on an executable level, not by just using registry or policy edits.
Hundreds if not thousands of people have installed it, with no sign of malicious intent. If you still don't trust it, you can manually ameliorate using the open source scripts. (Located on the ameliorated.info site)
