I have already used tools like win11debloat and winutil (just did small tweaks, disabling telemetry and bringing back the old right click menu etc). But I'd like to hear other recommendations, such as some specific settings are extensions/apps.

Im looking for win 10 icon packs because i am turning my Win11 into Win10 22H2

I thought i had some issues with the Ui and scaling but someone said that some menus look different now and its supposed to look like this. Microsoft is rolling out changes in the Ui/ color schemes? something about acrylic/mica. Im not on a insider build but my Windows security center looks different on this machine.. The black background is gone, it is now grey and i could have swore some text and Ui elements are smaller now. especially in the virus and threat protection/ allowed threats. did anyone else get this either in the insider build or the standard build?

Will turning Energy Saver on while my laptop is plugged in reduce gaming performance? I haven’t noticed anything so far. One other forum said its just brightness and backround app limits while plugged in

obviously the results in the screenshots after some real deep debloating, deleting the unnecessary bloatware , stripping the telemetry and some tweaks

only about 50-60 background processes

Happy that its running smooth , it is kind of usable right now.

I actually really like Edge despite being a Firefox fanboy from it's conception.

I found that over the years the growing number of issues I was having with Firefox led me to give Edge a chance, and after a few months of tweaking I ended up really liking it.

The slow speed of Edge's toolbar autohide in fullscreen mode is practically the only negative for me now.

Firefox, for example, shows and hides it instantly, and it doesn't cover any of the content when it does. It moves the window down so that it doesn't obscure anything.

But Edge is painfully slow to unhide it, and also won't hide it again unless you stop moving the mouse for a second or two, or click the window or address bar. It also obscures the top of whatever site you're on. It really slows you down when you constantly have to stop and wait for it.

Using an OLED it's not good to have a static toolbar that's always there when browsing, and can cause burn in.

A big plus is that in fullscreen the little white line at the bottom of window that they introduced about a year ago goes away. (Think it's only visible in normal view if you've disabled the rounded borders)

Not optimistic that this post will lead to any action, but maybe the their competitive side might be sparked by showing the difference in the tool bar show/hide speed between the two browsers.
