Lots of stuff I don't need in Win8 and later editions.

This tool does an excellent job In removing Windows components, and customizing the OS to your needs.

Plus the thing that Windows Updates are mandatory now, except if you alter the system beyond my liking

I've completely disabled the garbage Windows updates.

Stopping the Windows Update service and then removing all related files In the System32 directory, prevents all updates In Its entirety.
