Introducing Windows for GAMERS !!! Everything will be run as Administrator by default.

Also disables Windows Defender and mitigations for Spectre and Meltdown lol

@same I wanted to use this, but... That's a few steps too far. There is plenty of crap that can be disabled, but uh.. not security.

@ArchyD

I mean to be completely fair, you can enable the mitigations and UAC post install, but i'm not sure about Windows Defender, and Windows Update definitely is broken so you'll need to rely on the AtlasOS team for those.

There are far less nuclear options to make Windows better by disabling Telemetry and uninstalling bloat.

I recommend O&O shutup10++
it's mostly antispy, but you can generally disable some annoyances and bloats too.

I'm not too versed in windows fuckery (I haven't even started my windows PC in several months), so maybe this is surface level or even bad, but it's miles better than whatever atlas is doing.

comment your own recommendations and maybe we'll start a thread or something idk. I'll boost stuff I like.
