The Absolute Best "Windows STFU" Software Of All Time

[vanzandt]

I wouldn't write the above lightly. This software has every tweak imaginable. If you're even slightly geeky and using Windows 10 or 11, I suggest going through each and every line of this and reading what it does. And it is so well written and user friendly. The more you play with it, the more you'll like it.

One of my favorites is "add take ownership" to the context menu. If you've ever messed with that in the security settings manually, you'll see what I mean.

And if you break something, just undo it. Some require a restart.

Like I said, the more you play with this, the more you'll like it. I promise. It's free.

I found this whole admin settings where you can literallly customize windows for anything. It’s designed for IT departments to shut off games for example or fix screen savers.

i bet this hits those registry entries.

But, at the same time, do you feel comfortable giving free pass to a third party to control all those functions? Maybe on a machine where you surf porn but ya might wanna think twice about installing this on your trading box.

What is in the box? Tell me what is in the BOX!!!!

"It is a powerful system utility that supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11 and includes hundreds of settings. It also includes many options that were earlier available exclusively in my standalone applications."


Oh, I see....

No its a stand-alone install. You can pick and chose the functions. There's nothing this program does, that you can't do manually. You don't have to be online to use it, and if you're worried, just block any outgoing traffic from it with a your firewall. There is none though. Plus I run Malwarebytes premium, trust me, its safe.

Plus lol... all the crap that Windows 11 runs... talk about slowing down a trading computer. 99.9% of that stuff, I never use.

And here's one of note, do you know Windows has an "image enhancer", so they call it. So when you're doing your porn surfing thing Schiz... every picture you click on, gets sent to a Windows server and back to your machine so it looks better.

Then you better go into the hidden settings on Edge, that you'll never find because it's buried in "services" and turn off the function that allows Edge to share data with any running browser. Or disable Edge completely, but a lot of the trading software uses its pluggin's so... whatever.
