► In short
- Cut targeted advertising and integrated suggestions in Windows 11
- Limit telemetry and reduce programs launched at start -ups
- Disable visual effects to gain fluidity
Behind its visual new features, Windows 11 retains many parameters that benefit Microsoft more than to the user. Suggestions, integrated advertisements, data collection and superfluous graphic effects unnecessarily request the processor and memory, while reducing your confidentiality. Most of these options are activated by default, often without your knowledge. Disable them does not compromise the normal functioning of the system, but allows you to find a faster, more sober and less intrusive environment.
Cut collection and advertising suggestions
- Targeted advertising : Settings> Confidentiality and Security> General> Disable “Authorize applications to use my advertising ID”.
- Suggestions in the Start menu : Settings> Personalization> Start menu> Disable “Display content recommendations”.
- Suggestions in the settings : Settings> Confidentiality and security> Diagnosis and comments> Personalized experiences> Disable.
These options are not essential for the operation of Windows. They mainly serve to supply advertising recommendations and the promotion of Microsoft services. By cutting them, you purify the interface, reduce advertising profiling and delete unnecessary distractions.
Reduce telemetry and background services
- Limit data collection : Settings> Confidentiality and security> Diagnosis and comments> Select “Diagnostic data required only”.
- Disable activity history : Same menu> Uncheck “Send my history to Microsoft”.
- Start starting : Task manager> Starting tab> Disable non -essential programs (one so useless, various assistants, superfluous third -party tools).
These adjustments reduce the amount of information sent to Microsoft and release resources at start -up. Less applications launched automatically means an office ready faster, less load on the processor and memory, and a globally more reactive environment.
Disable visual effects and gourmet animations
- Settings> Accessibility> Visual effects> Disable “Transparency effects” and “Animations”.
- Settings> System> View> Graphics> Activate “Optimize for performance”.
The animations and transparency effects embellish the interface, but consume CPU, GPU and RAM with each transition. Disable them offers immediate gain in responsiveness, especially on modest configurations or older laptops. The system remains perfectly usable, but gains in fluidity and stability.
Better confidentiality and response time
These adjustments Transform the Windows 11 experience: More lively start, fluid interface, and fewer intrusions in your digital life. The idea is not to cut everything, but to regain control of what unnecessarily consumes your resources or collect your data. By taking a few minutes to make these settings, you get a faster environment, more sober and adapted to your needs. You can adjust them later depending on your use or your equipment. Real comfort comes from a system that works for you, not against you.
