Windows - Privacy, Security, Open Source
This is a list that prefers open-source and lightweight Windows applications. A few partially open-source or proprietary applications may be added if there are no great alternatives.
Read the descriptions, as I wrote most of them, which gives advice on similar apps or other things to take into account.
Comment at the bottom if you believe anything should be updated or have any questions.
Things that Make Life as a Windows User A Bit Easier
You tired of Windows spyware but don't want to switch to a whole new operating system? Here are some open source free(mium) apps to help make Windows more private or just simpler.
Software for the Advanced Administrator [3/3]
Part 3 of 3 in Series: lists will continually be updated periodically.
This is a continuation of my lists, “Recommended Software for the Average Joe and Jane” and “Software for the Tech-Savvy Power User” but with software I believe requires technical knowledge, not just literacy.
I also want to iterate that these are recommendations for personal use, not for an IT department.
Criteria I look for universally for my lists are as follows:
— Open source code: publicly audited
— Privacy-focus: minimal data collection, encryption by default
— Security-focus: 2FA available, encryption by default
— Zero Knowledge end-to-end encryption (E2EE) when appropriate
— Cross-platform or progressive web apps (PWAs) + cloud backup/sync
— Freemium subscription model, so basic features are always available for free
— Oligarchy / Big Tech alternative
— Absence of “dark” or deceptive patterns
Criteria specifically for this list:
— If open source software isn’t available for a feature then proprietary software is tolerated for this list

Great, open-source and you can easily read the script before you start.
This is good if you want a more private OS experience but don't wanna switch to Linux (or maybe even if you use Linux). It allows you to turn off Windows data collection, using Command Prompt. That said, you should copy paste the code into command prompt instead of just running the bat file. Otherwise it'll confuse your antivirus into thinking it's malware, since normally people don't intentionally run batch files to use command prompt for them.
I find antivirus' usually act as malware itself. If your on windows, windows defender is enough.
Documentation could be a little better, but this is an excellent script collection able to optimize Windows and remove the junk M$ has bundled it with.
Much easier to use than alternatives, but no less powerful.
We'll see where it goes over time, into unmaintained defunct oblivion or the top.
Trying to migrate from MSMG Toolkit, which has very little user friendliness and is more likely to break stuff, with no other way than to start over a very lengthy process to account for it.
No idea why this has only so few ratings, this is INSANE, you can rip the guts of microsoft out of windows, no spyware no telemtry just performance! A mus have for windows users!
well done software. simple unlike others.puts a smile in your face as well
