Book •
Paul Thurrott's De-Enshittify Windows is a short, pragmatic guide aimed at helping users reduce clutter, unwanted features, and intrusive AI/Copilot integrations in Windows 11.
Published incrementally on LeanPub, the book collects actionable steps, settings changes, and recommendations to make Windows behave in a more user-friendly way.
Thurrott draws on decades of experience testing Windows and alternatives, offering hands-on advice for disabling or mitigating features users find objectionable.
The work emphasizes practicality, security, and restoring user control while acknowledging some automation for complete removal of AI features is not yet available.
As a living document, purchasers receive updates as new chapters (security, apps, etc.
) are added.
