GTweak strips Windows bloat, axes AI Recall

GTweak is a powerful response to Windows’ increasingly intrusive "AI-first" direction, offering granular control that Microsoft typically obscures. While it provides extreme utility for power users, its high-privilege modifications and inclusion of activation tools make it as controversial as it is effective.

• –Surgically removes "AI" features like Copilot and Recall that are difficult to disable via standard settings
• –Blocks telemetry and "shadow domains" used by Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Intel for data collection
• –Uninstalls hard-coded system components including Edge, OneDrive, and pre-installed UWP apps
• –Includes built-in HWID/KMS activation methods, placing the tool in a legal and ethical gray area
• –Allows disabling core security features like Defender and SmartScreen, requiring a high degree of user trust
