AtlasOS is not designed with security in mind. It’s only after everyone criticized them that they added back stuff such as Windows Update and UAC.

This is…not the best idea, imo. If I had to guess, I would say that it is attempting to disable diagnostic data by setting a registry key — only on Windows Home or Pro, that’s ineffective and doesn’t have any extra benefit compared to just disabling optional telemetry in the settings app. It also seems to pointlessly duplicate things the user already has control of (why does there need to be a toggle for Hyper V and Windows Subsystem Linux?) Last I checked they were pretty simple enough to turn on and off in the base system. Same goes for stuff such as Location Tracking and Activity History, which I’m fairly sure are literally already in the privacy settings.
Attempting to do large scale “debloating” will inevitably lead to system breakage and things not working. Start Menu shortcuts? They’re one click away from being uninstalled. OEM Bloat such as random third party antiviruses? You should be doing a clean install to get rid of those. Apps such as Cortana? winget uninstall
. You also don’t need a third party program to manage your app updates, that’s literally what winget upgrade --all
is for.
Even better, there’s been a case where Microsoft Support has used it themselves.
You could try OnlyOffice, I believe it has better compatibility with .docx
files in comparison to LibreOffice.
I don’t really care about Windows copilot, so long as there’s an easy group policy to disable it.
