I want to die after making this. I think I spent 6 hours sorting through this gist. I've genuinely lost a lot of faith in humanity. If you're reading this, Just stop. Go learn to use linux with a non-systemd distro and just stop using windows. I beg you. I already use linux for everything but gaming, and once i learn to game on linux, im finished with windows completely.. Go watch SomeOrdinaryGamer's video on Linux gaming with Windows VMs. Just dont do this. If you are hell bent on using Windows 7, then honestly just install a non-SP1 windows 7 disc and install only things you absoultely need for the system to work like .NET 4.8 and DirectX and all that stuff. Don't install any updates, even security ones. If you are not smart enough to not download malware or keep your computer physically protected you dont need a COMPOOTER in the first place probably.

Good bye forever. May Bill Gates burn in hell.

:: https://gist.github.com/xvitaly/eafa75ed2cb79b3bd4e9 - top list is from the first post/main comment/whatever.
:: On the top list, I modified a few of the echos/notes to be more verbose, thats all i changed about it....
:: Secondary list at the bottom is personal additions based on comments and external links provided in the gist (things that weren't in the main top script) 
:: Also, I realize that some things are "for Windows 8" but maybe they were for 7 and 8 both? Anyway, what the hey, can't be too careful, right?

I want to die after making this. I think I spent 6 hours sorting through this gist. I've genuinely lost a lot of faith in humanity. If you're reading this, Just stop. Go learn to use linux with a non-systemd distro and just stop using windows. I beg you. I already use linux for everything but gaming, and once i learn to game on linux, im finished with windows completely.. Go watch SomeOrdinaryGamer's video on Linux gaming with Windows VMs. Just dont do this. If you are hell bent on using Windows 7, then honestly just install a non-SP1 windows 7 disc and install only things you absoultely need for the system to work like .NET 4.8 and DirectX and all that stuff. Don't install any updates, even security ones. If you are not smart enough to not download malware or keep your computer physically protected you dont need a COMPOOTER in the first place probably.

thank you

Thanks for that @TNW9imKLC3fv and @GentlemansKiller.

Wouldn't it be easier to start with Windows 7 enterprise, then finish it for good by disabling all updates via the hosts file?
