If you’re like me, you’re sick of these sociopathic dweebs shoving their ai slop down your throat. We don’t have to take it… and there are a few easy things you can do to get the ai out of your Windows 11 installation.

Here are the meaty links:

Check out CyberCPU Tech’s video on this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YLfE76k9z8
My first choice, use LTSC:

Windows 11 LTSC vs Windows 10 LTSC Gaming Battle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bValhYdrATw

The Basic Method to remove AI
Use O&O ShutUp10++: www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
Then, if you want…
Get a better start menu without web results: github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

Bring back Classic Paint (mspaint): win7games.com/#mspaint

Replace notepad with one of these:
Notepad++ (way more features, great for programming): notepad-plus-plus.org/
Metapad (like a better version of the Windows 7/Aero notepad): liquidninja.com/metapad/
Akelpad (small, simple, and fast): akelpad.sourceforge.net/en/index.php

I use RetroBar to replace my taskbar:
github.com/dremin/RetroBar
