CTT or O&O Shutup 10++ ?

[LinuxGuy-cyber]

Let's say I run CTT first, and some of its patches overlap with those of O&O's, so will running O&O patches after CTT cause any issues if the patches overlap?
Finally, there are scripts on GitHub that completely get rid of all AI in Windows 11. So, does CTT / O&O S10++ already include them? Or do I need to run a "Get rid of AI" script manually after all?

Running both is completely fine. Both tools just flip standard registry policies under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows. Since writing a registry value simply overwrites it with the same number, overlapping tweaks will not conflict or break anything. If you ever want to revert something, just toggle it back in the tool you used.

You also do not need external scripts for AI stuff. WinUtil already has toggles in the Tweaks tab to shut off Copilot, Recall, and Bing search using official Windows policy keys. The third party scripts floating around that rip out system packages usually end up corrupting Windows Update and DISM down the road. Sticking to the policy toggles in WinUtil or O&O keeps the OS stable while turning off the features.
