I'm an IT desktop support guy for many years and even I learnt something new from this. Somehow Chris manages to make this video not only easy to follow with explanations of what he is doing, he also does it in an entertaining way. I loved watching this. Great video Chris, I just discovered you on YT and I am thankful that I have!
I like how you actually provided more in depth options rather than just task manager and maybe task services like many other “speed up windows” videos lol
Playing around with it I was able to drop the amount of processes I had running by 12.28% and was able to free up roughly 1GB of RAM from my 16GB total. Keep up the good work man.
I did all of this on my daughter's laptop.... from 163 Processes to 81 and from 3.9 Memory usage to 1.5... And she didn't even notice anything missing from her PC.... so that was a 100% success. Thanks man that was a useful video!
Having recently purchased a new laptop, after >12 years, i wanted to learn a little about improving windows and setting my laptop to meet my needs, binge watched a few of your videos including this one and can happily say from running 228 processes, it now on 143 after this update. Thankyou Chris.
I'm on a Windows 11 gaming and rendering PC and went from around 140 processes to around 85. I wasn't expecting to see anything close to that in terms of difference and from my testing everything all still seems to work and I didn't break anything. I appreciate the tutorial my dude.
That was on my desktop... But I also have a laptop with some weird LE Pentium Silver CPU, which is super weak, which went to only 86 processes after boot. It had around 160 before... most noticeable change during use of bigger apps (browsers with _a lot_ of tabs, mostly), which is very welcome.
@@ARose47 Sonny, it's self-entitled millennials that are jealous of (usually older) people who have put in lots of effort (and still put in lots of effort) to become "experts" in a topic that use "silly" words like "elitist". You think that it lets your laziness off the hook by turning the knowledge of others into something negative - i.e. you try to drag others who work a lot harder than you do down to your level - and fail.

So the log4j exploit is nothing really to do with the java version you are running, it was an exploit in a third party library (log4j) which is an apache software foundation project. It is upto specific programs using this library to update.
Yes, but removing the JVM will definitely fix the exploit 🙂 (that wasn't done in the video but probably on the side as he mentioned wanting to hard fail all Java apps) and technically depending on JVM you can remove all vulnerable classes pre execute of any jars containing log4j so a good solution is still to kill Java on your home system to see what else needs patching. It's called a "scream test" in the industry.
@@JosiahBradley Sure, but all the basis and information surrounding that here was wrong. I have plenty of reasons to remove java or ensure it is upto date beyond the log4j exploit, finally, there are java apps that use other java logging frameworks without this issue. I was actually surprised that several java applications I use weren't affected until I dove in and found them using other libraries instead. The point is, one does not have to say things about the exploit through ignorance or outright misstruths to make these points.
I saved over 2GB of ram use follwing these instructions. Thank you so much! Having recently come back from linux for gaming, I was appauled by how bloated Windows was but this has really helped.
In regedit there is one more path that may have lingering startup items: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Also I see you have Minecraft installed, right after you uninstalled Java... that's likely why you had Java installed in the first place since the Mojang version of Minecraft is based in Java.
Thanks for this, Chris... I have not used Windows personally for years, but still have to know some things because of long-term friends and customers who need me...
I saw that the script disabled the FontCache service, depending on you used applications it might not be the best idea. It can slow down any program that loads a lot of fonts. Might just want to keep it since well it is there to speed things up.
PLEASE SLOW DOWN by 25% to allow folks to catch up with you. We are scurrying to keep up and do the same thing that is second hand for you. This is new for many people. Other than that, very well done! Thank You!
That utility is pretty well thought out, but there should be "hover over for more information", that would bring up a tooltip box with more info on what the button actually does.
Awesome video! I knew about only a couple of these, and while I'm a penguin now I still figure its good to know stuff like this. I'll definitely be looking this back up in a few months when I get the random need to use Windows for a short while
I followed all the steps, and disabled some extras in the toolkit, and my fps ingame nearly doubled in afk ''training''. Amazing guide that helps both gamers and pc users. Good going man!
You can also split the threshold for Svchost in the registry (wich will group the Svchost processes together instead off running each Svchost as an individual process) this will drop the amount of services a lot.
Thank you so much! I have win 10 on an old laptop, just chrome and office installed and i have a process of 120+ and after following your guide, it dropped down to 70-80 processes
My solution was to get the latest and more powerful hardware that budget allows me, then I clean up just a few tools becuase sometimes the advance tools of making windows faster break some dependencies and I have to reinstall win10. Either way, great tutorial Chris, thank you for updating this, it is extremely helpful for most
This is just crazy how much processes this deactivates (in agood way) my processes decreased by 64% !!!!! Absolutely reccommendable. BTW that tool you created is great
On low-end hardware this is incredible! I own a laptop that has a passively cooled Celeron chip with a max TDP of 6 watts. So, as you can imagine it needs all the help it can get, and the script did make the machine smooth, it released RAM and process by 20%. Great job.
should really just give kubuntu a try tbh, manjaro/mint/lubuntu are also good choices if it's a celeron odds are youre just browsing/doing word files and such, all those operating systems only take up like 500mb of ram to work. besides mint which might be more

The Title along with the content of this Video is curious, in that the non-Tool part is a copy of a previous video. The Tool box discussed in the last part is a Tool, but it is a very cool-Tool, IMHO, well worth a look, but you would be advised to get clued up on it a bit before using it. It can be great, I love it, but it can also be dangerous to use if you don’t know what you are doing with it.
I recommend the tool called "Autoruns" from SysInternals, i. e. Microsoft itself, pretty much. It really does aggregates everything, down to context menu handlers and other obscure ways to run programs automatically on Windows.
Chris, some tech youtuber suggest boot drive/OS drive separate from others programs/apps, so basically 1 drive only for OS, and second drive for other programs/application, and maybe 3rd drive for data storage. That way will makes your PC faster and more responsive. What do you thought on this? Do you agree about dedicating a drive only for OS, and 2nd drive for other programs will make our PC faster?
The only difference is boot speeds and general built in windows processes. Any other program not installed on your boot drive (SSD) would be relatively the same speed and process.
I've used separate drives for OS, temp/cache, apps, games, documents since Windows 95. Separating the OS from the non-destructibles is always a good idea. If your OS crashes, just reinstalling your OS is all you have to do, then launch your apps again to get them back in action. Additionally, having your temp files and cache(system cache) on a different drive allows windows to do 2 different things at the same time instead of queuing them up in the file system 1 at a time. It's a negligible performance increase on fast ssd's but it's still faster.
Bro, thank you soo much you single handly drop my processes to 120 and my ram usage to 2,5 gb. My fps in game like warzone are so much smoother and the game never drop below 55 fps when before it use to drop down between 40-60 fps thank you so much!

Thanks for helping others become the power users they thought they were.

Followed this video and managed to reduce 50 processes and about 1.5gb of ram. Thank you! Almost 5gb of ram at idle is just nuts, even with Steam. 3.3gb of ram usage and 93 processes much more reasonable now.
This all works on Windows 11 as well...
Want to support the project? Download the offline exe for $10 @ www.cttstore.com/windows-toolbox
Isn't win11 just win10 reskin with KDE Plasma wannabe looks anyway?
Please update the debloater script for reduced services, i do gaming on low end pc and its really helpful for me. Thanks for your efforts 👌

Started out with 270 processes and cut it down to about 160. Gonna have a longer look and see if I can get that down more but great video!
"These self update services and stuff, I'm kinda like... No, I don't want you doing this." lmao the way he said this made me laugh so hard. Thanks for helping others become the power users they thought they were. I learn something new every time I stop to watch something he's covered, even if it is just a tiny explanation of how something works or why it does what it does.
Chris Titus is a legend for explaining things at a comfortable pace for all walks of life to catch on to and benefit from
Don't forget about services. Adobe, for example, has many services that run at the startup.
I see Chris and I press like
Did this Windows toolbox made my Windows controlled by organization? Including Edge browser, I went from 150+ processes to 90 very nice thank you.
Thanks dude! Went from 3,7GB ram used, 168 processes to 2,2GB and 94 processes
Followed this video and managed to reduce 50 processes and about 1.5gb of ram. Thank you! Almost 5gb of ram at idle is just nuts, even with Steam. 3.3gb of ram usage and 93 processes much more reasonable now.
This actually dropped my RAM usage A LOT
I only have 8GB on my PC so things like this are life savers sometimes, thank you!
Cheers Chris! liked and subbed
Went from 157 processes to 91 with only your debloat tool, Thanks! 👍🏼
Great video! I don't trust 3rd-party tools to tweak Windows, so this video is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
4:59 where's the link for the video?
I like how the picture with less processes in the thumbnail has more threads than the picture with more processes
So those tricks work really well. Thank you so much. Take care!
