Several enhancements and fixes went into this release, which is primarily focused on stability and future-proofing:
- Make system apps removable now works on Windows 11 too
- ⚠️ The tool continues NOT to support Windows 11, and there are no plans to do it in the future. This change has been made solely for users who want to do some experiments on Windows 11 at their own risk.
- Windows Defender disabling process received a few relevant improvements:
- Windows Security app won't be uninstalled anymore
- It's actually useful for changing exploit mitigation settings, which would otherwise be impossible to do
- The app will still be prevented from running automatically at system start-up
- For those who want to uninstall it anyway, they can do so by launching the PowerShell command
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.Windows.SecHealthUI | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsersafter making system apps removable
- Made SmartScreen disabling more aggressive, preventing smartscreen.exe from automatically starting in background
- Fixed disabling of SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge Chromium
- Windows Security app won't be uninstalled anymore
- Tweak settings for privacy will now also forcefully disable data reporting for personalization purposes in Microsoft Edge
- Disable suggestions, cloud-based content and feedback requests will disable Spotlight in Microsoft Edge too
- Edge uninstallation process will remove more leftover files created by Chromium-based Edge
- Fixed UWP apps removal not working in recent builds of Windows 11 (and potentially in future builds of Windows 10, in case Microsoft backports the breaking change)
- Fixed an error that could occur while removing certain OneDrive leftover files
- Minor performance and reliability improvements
