Caution
AtomToolbox Beta Notice: AtomToolbox is still in a beta release. We are currently working on fixing all bugs and issues you might face while using it.---
Performance & Latency Optimizations
- RAM Recovery: Disabled VBS and HVCI system-wide, reducing RAM usage by 1 to 3GB.
- Memory Management: Raised SvcHostSplitThreshold to 4GB to prevent service host memory fragmentation. Disabled Fault Tolerant Heap (saves 50-100MB).
- Process Mitigations: System-wide disabling of Spectre, Meltdown, CFG, SEHOP, ASLR variants, and CET/KernelShadowStacks via PowerShell and registry.
- DPC Latency & Network: Disabled Interrupt Moderation on network adapters to eliminate micro-stutters. Tuned AFD network buffers for low latency.
- Hardware & Power: Forced C-states to OFF, disabled PCI Express ASPM, and turned off USB selective suspend. Forced global timer resolution enforcement.
- Storage: Enabled write caching for all drives and disabled Reserved Storage.
Component Removal & Debloating
- AppX Packages: Added 165 AppX removal operations targeting 60+ pre-installed packages (Photos, Terminal, Camera, Office Suite, etc.). The Windows Store is kept intact.
- OneDrive Removal: Complete wipe via default user NTUSER.DAT hive cleanups, WinSxS OneDriveSetup.exe deletion, and Explorer sidebar erasure. Added Deprovisioned registry keys to block Windows Update from reinstalling it.
- Edge Purge: Uninstalled Edge via native Setup.exe arguments, cleaned leftover files, registry entries, and scheduled tasks.
- System Tweaks: Disabled and deleted Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and disabled the paging file.
UI/UX & System Behavior
- Wallpaper System: Rewritten to use a registry-only method via NSudoLC TrustedInstaller. Applies custom wallpaper across all user hives, disables Windows Spotlight, and clears the LockScreen cache to prevent Windows from reverting it.
- Taskbar & Start Menu: Hidden the Recycle Bin from desktop, disabled Connected Standby, removed all default pinned tiles and cloud cloud-store caches.
- Classic Layout: Forced Dark Mode, restored the classic context menu, and enabled full paths in the Explorer address bar.
Critical Fixes & Internal Changes
- PostInstall Copy Fix: Fixed a bug where PostInstall copy returned "0 File(s) copied". Changed the engine to a PowerShell script using
$PSScriptRootandCopy-Item -Recurse. - Cleanup Race Condition: Moved
14-postinstall.ymlexecution to run before10-final.ymlinmain.ymlso the temp directory flush doesn't delete the extracted files before they copy. - Environment Variables Expansion: Changed Edge and Start Menu folder cleanups to run under
currentUserElevatedcontext instead of TrustedInstaller, ensuring%APPDATA%and%ProgramFiles(x86)%resolve to the actual user directories.
