  • This is the one I use on my work PC: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat

    Mostly what it does is change things back to how they were on older Windows versions. E.g. the start menu is aligned to the left corner instead of the center. It is great at removing unnecessary bloat apps like Xbox Game Bar, and disabling various telemetry and ads such as the spam Bing search in the start menu.

    I also found that PC had an annoying driver suite (resource hog) called something like “AMD Adrenaline Edition” that the debloat script missed. I had to uninstall the factory graphics driver and reinstall the “minimal, driver only” version from AMD.

    Use at your own risk of course. Microsoft often breaks these things with Windows updates


  • I believe this is mostly due to Android clearing the app from system memory. I have had some improvement by exempting Voyager from power management.

    On my device the steps are Settings -> Battery -> App Battery Usage -> Voyager -> expand Allow background usage -> check Allow background usage and select Unrestricted

    (The exact steps may be different on your device)

    This should keep Android from clearing the app memory when you briefly open another app, but it could increase battery usage. You will want to remember to always close the app when you are done using it

    This reminds me of the time circa 1992 when my brothers convinced me to ride a scrap lawnmower chassis down the big hill near our house. They didn’t consider it important to actually attach the lawnchair so it just fell apart when it got up to speed.

    I’m still kind of mad about it lol
