[Windows 11] Frog Intel 🐸:
Windows 10/11 Tutorial For Modification of the O.S: Privacy, Security, Speed, Useability Enhancements

(F.A.O. ActivistToolbox)

Windows 10/11 are riddled with bloatware, tracking, spying apps, and backdoors. With Windows 10 it is possible to block all of this. With Windows 11 there is a very minimal trace amount left in the system. To rip most of that ****ware out of Windows and patch it up, do the following:

Not all steps maybe correct. I don't claim to know everything just how to lockdown windows to a bare minimum.

Note

Depending on the options you choose for each step, this method will most likely block Windows updates.

The more software you add to this method the more connections you may have at the time of testing the results.

Add "Netlimiter" Tool to the list, This tool limits/blocks internet for apps you don't want that the app have internet connection. The tool looks like a firewall, but it is good and User friendly as well.

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP ONE

Install fresh copy of windows 10 or 11, then install the latest updates. The method we are using will block windows updates.

STEP TWO

Install Comodo Personal Firewall.

Add widget to desktop.

Change the settings under Firewall and enable the following:

• Filter IPv6 traffic

• Filter loopback traffic

• Block fragmented IPs

• Do protocol analysis

• Enable anti-ARP spoofing

On the home screen of Comodo Firewall, change firewall to Training mode, turn off Auto containment and HIPS should be safe mode. Rest of settings can be adjusted to end users specifications.

Recommend turning off things like File Cloud Analysis /Virus total lookup etc.

STEP THREE

- Install the AME Wizard from Ameliorated.info and apply any of the playbooks you wish for. This is the backing of the modification and lockdown of windows.

STEP FOUR

Once applied run Windows Spy Blocker and block the telemetry

STEP FIVE

Open W10 Privacy, and select all the settings you want to apply. Ensure you do not select the wrong settings.

STEP SIX

Install and setup Spybot Anti-Beacon

STEP SEVEN

Open, configure and set the apps: DoNotSpy11 and O&O ShutUp10

STEP EIGHT

Run Debotnet and tinker the O.S. to your liking. On CCleaner modification, enable the community mod.

STEP NINE

Run PatchMyPC and setup any additional apps. Install CCleaner.

STEP TEN

Open CCleaner and see if the options have extended? If not, open Debotnet and rerun the CCleaner mod. Then try again. Configure CCleaners options and run to clean the system.

STEP ELEVEN

Install and Open Bleachbit and in settings enabled community input. This should extend the options selectable. Configure the app according to enduser specifications and clean the data.

STEP TWELVE

Open Harden Tools as an admin and select all the areas you wish to harden. Then harden the system.

STEP THIRTEEN

Hopefully when setting up Comodo Firewall a widget appears on the desktop. If not try set it up, and then you can monitor the connection.

STEP FOURTEEN, THE TEST

Two ways to really test this.

Disconnect from any VPN. And close app background apps. Then on the Comodo Widget and Firewall you can monitor the connections that appear and disappear. If applied correctly this should be either exceptionally minimal for Windows 11 or completely stopped for Windows 10.

Or

Download AVG Tune Up and use the background app took to close down unwanted applications then go into Comodo and check the connections. I don't usually recommend this method cos AVG Tune Up uses a connection a lot of the time

STEP FIFTEEN

Install Zero Log VPN that includes DNS Blocking for Adverts, Trackers, Malware, Gambling, Adult, Social Media and configure accordingly, recommended Mullvad VPN.

NOTICABLE DIFFERENCES

- Security improvements

- Faster loading speeds

- Better interface

- Less cluttered

- Faster FPS

- As disconnected from Microsoft as possible

- Gives end user control over O.S.

Anyway that's the tutorial.
