D-Inshittify Windows 11

Paul Thurrott's book documents his critique of Windows' recent direction and provides practical guidance to mitigate or avoid features he considers harmful.

It explains common pain points in Windows 10/11, including telemetry, bundled software, and intrusive defaults, and offers step-by-step workarounds.

The book draws on Thurrott's decades of Windows coverage and presents concrete settings changes, tools, and best practices for users and administrators.

It is part handbook and part manifesto aimed at helping readers regain control over their Windows installations.

Thurrott also uses the book to argue for broader changes Microsoft should adopt to improve quality and user trust in Windows.
