Tool ^hot^ — Chris Titus’ Debloat

Enter (CTT). Known for his no-nonsense Linux rants and Windows optimization guides, Chris built a tool that has become the gold standard for debloating: Chris Titus’ Windows Utility (often just called the "Debloat Tool").

This removes the obvious junk: TikTok, Candy Crush, Spotify (if you don't want it), Xbox apps (if you aren't a gamer), and the Microsoft People app. It disables telemetry (data collection) where possible without breaking Windows Update.

Have you run the CTT tool on your machine? Did it break your workflow or fix your frustration? Let me know in the comments below. chris titus’ debloat tool

Unlike the old days of running random .bat files from Reddit, Chris’s tool is transparent. You can read the source code on GitHub. It is designed to remove bloatware, disable telemetry, and stop unnecessary services. The tool is broken down into several tabs, but the main features include:

Between the Xbox Game Bar pop-ups, the forced OneDrive backups, the "News & Interests" taskbar clutter, and the 50 background processes doing absolutely nothing for you , the modern Windows experience can feel sluggish. This is where the open-source community steps in. Enter (CTT)

Let’s be honest: Out of the box, Windows doesn't feel like your computer. It feels like Microsoft’s computer that they are letting you borrow.

But is it safe? Does it actually work on Windows 11? And how far should you go with it? Let me know in the comments below

Uncheck anything you actually use. Enjoy a quieter, faster, less intrusive Windows 11.
