Extreme. Debloated, quiet, still safe.

Everything in Basic, plus the full safe-debloat and deep layer: telemetry down, background apps off, non-essential services to Manual, reinstallable debloat (kept off for good), MSI-mode interrupts, and fewer background processes.

How it debloats without breaking things

Manual, not Disabled. Known list, not scorched earth.

The fast way to wreck a Windows install is to disable services and rip out apps by hand. Extreme doesn't do that. Services go to Manual so anything that genuinely needs them still starts on demand. Networking, audio, security and update services are never touched. Debloat only removes a known list of promo stubs and unused apps — the Store, Xbox, runtimes and shell stay put, and anything removed is one Store click from coming back.

  • Services set to Manual — on-demand, never hard-Disabled.
  • Print Spooler and Windows Search are deliberately skipped.
  • Networking, audio, security and Windows Update services are never touched.
  • Debloat acts on a known list only; Store, Xbox, runtimes and shell stay.
  • Removed apps are reinstallable from the Store, and deprovision stops them silently returning.

Skipped on purpose

Print Spooler and Windows Search are left alone by the services pass — printing and fast Explorer search are worth more than the handful of cycles they cost. If you want Search gone too, that toggle waits for you in Pro, labelled honestly.

The safe-debloat & deep layer.

Nine tweaks across privacy, services, debloat and the deeper interrupt/process changes. Grouped by what they touch.

Privacy & Background

  • Telemetry down, background apps off, stop bloat re-installsSafe

    Lowers diagnostic data, stops UWP apps running in background, blocks silent promo-app reinstalls, disables the DiagTrack service.

    AllowTelemetry = 0

  • Privacy extras (ad ID, activity history, web search, Cortana, feedback)Safe

    Disables advertising ID, Timeline upload, tailored experiences, Start-menu web search, Cortana, and feedback nags.

    AdvertisingInfo\Enabled = 0

Services

  • Set non-essential services to ManualSafe

    Manual (not Disabled) so anything that needs them still starts on demand.

    DiagTrack, dmwappushservice, MapsBroker, … = demand

Debloat

  • Remove safe bloatware apps (reinstallable)Safe

    Removes promo/3rd-party stubs and unused MS apps for the current user.

    Remove-AppxPackage (known bloat list only)

  • Stop removed apps returning (deprovision)Safe

    Deprovisions known bloat so it doesn't reinstall for new profiles/updates.

    Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage (known bloat list)

Small tweaks

  • Disable telemetry scheduled tasksSafe

    Disables CEIP / Compatibility Appraiser / error-report-upload tasks.

    Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser

Deep tweaks

  • MSI mode for GPU & network cardSafereboot

    Ensures the GPU and NIC use Message-Signaled Interrupts (lower DPC latency).

    …\MessageSignaledInterruptProperties\MSISupported = 1

  • Cut background processes (Edge + OneDrive autostart)Safe

    Disables Edge startup-boost/background processes and OneDrive auto-start.

    Edge StartupBoostEnabled = 0

  • Disable more background scheduled tasksSafe

    Disables Edge auto-update, Office telemetry, Maps, and onboarding tasks (apps still work/update normally).

    MicrosoftEdgeUpdate*

Inherited from Basic & Free (12)

The whole performance core still runs first.

Everything Basic and Free do is applied before the debloat layer — the restore point, the power plan, scheduling, input and network tweaks, SSD TRIM and the Fortnite config.

  • Ultimate Performance plan + disable ALL power saving
  • Game Mode on + Game DVR / background recording off
  • Game Bar background capture fully off
  • MMCSS 'Games' task profile
  • System responsiveness, foreground priority, visuals, mouse
  • NIC power-saving OFF (EEE/Green/Flow), RSS on, RSC off
  • Clear temp files
  • Snappier menus & instant startup apps
  • No P2P update sharing + faster NTFS access
  • Ensure SSD TRIM is enabled
  • Fortnite tuning (auto-detected)
  • Stop Epic Games Launcher auto-start
Highlights
  • Telemetry + DiagTrack down
  • Services → Manual (safely)
  • Reinstallable debloat that stays gone
  • MSI-mode interrupts (lower DPC latency)

People who want a genuinely lean, quiet Windows — every change still fully reversible.
