Yes it's only meant for Windows processes, just what comes with Windows stock. I think it even mentions somewhere on good website his script is meant to be run on a clean Windows install.

I use Titus' software frequently and processes on my main machine are usually down to 140 or so. Many programs that start at windows start up have to be turned off within the program itself, through settings. Titus does great videos as do you.

So, I have used Chris's tool with, and without a custom ISO (that I made, ripping out everything but the frameworks and whatnot). With a system of 4 years, no refresh of the OS, I managed to get it down to 180 processes. With a clean install with my custom ISO, I have it stable to 166 processes or lower every time. The glaring thing that I saw that Britec did not do (or has but still has many of) is disabling startups. This is on a person to person bases. Just know that if you don't disable a good portion of your startup programs, you too could also have over 200 processes on startup. There are also other things to help lower processes, but Chris's tool is a good overall in covering most of them. Just be carful what you take out using Chris's tool.
I already had start-ups disabled. But you are right, each pc will be different and yes, if you want to remove some processes then Chris Titus tools is one you could use. But you wont remove half the processes, that was clickbait lol
Chris has really optimised the tool over the past months/years, it should always be a top priority to use this when you do a fresh install of Windows, as it really does help give you back more performance of the computer YOU PAID FOR. I use this a lot across multiple systems, even my workstation lol. My gaming desktop has 80 processes running at boot and I love how slim it is. That being said I am a firm believer that you should never let a system get this bloated with background tasks and startup applications, especially if you game on the system, because it really is a waste of resources that could be better utilised by your games. I get that every person's scenario is different and I'm not saying that you should purge everything from running at all, but I mean in cases like Microsoft Edge, if you literally never use it then what point is there in having it run at system start?

So far everything you say here is correct. But if one is willing to make a few compromises, it is quite possible to start the system with only 76 active processes, as in my case, and that with a processor stamina of just 1%.... Chriss is doing a wonderful job! Assuming you know what you're doing! as a computer dyslexic I would recommend to keep your hands off Greetings from Germany (Hamburg) Very informative channel keep it up... I like the honest and very open-minded way things are explained here, it's fun to see, to hear and to learn, thanks for that...!

@@leothehuman_9476 Windows before 10 were very light in use, i so badly want to use 7 but it has compatibility issues on newer hardware and also has some security issues after the support is discontinued
@@Gre3k Me too, that's why Windows 8.1 is the best option, right now Server 2012 R2 is still supported with very frequent security updates so try that out! I'm sure you'll be amazed by its performance, it's the lightest Windows can get since XP!! The only downside is that you might find the interface very ugly and you might hate the start menu, but for me that's not a problem at all so it's my daily driver now.
Although I'm not on a brand new windows install (upgraded to 11 from 10 recently) running this tool did cut quite a few processes off still which is nice. Also on another PC, I did it on a fresh install and it went from 120 to 64 processes ^^
you can reduce your processes in half. when i had windows after a restart, the task manager after a while concluded on values from 111 to 113 processes, which is less than half of 280, plus i am using a home version. it just takes a powerwash and lots of services disabiling and apps-deleting plus maybe general optimizations
Chris does great work, as you do too, you both give a lot to the community, I just checked my own machine and with just chrome + 4 tabs running am using 152 processes with 1702 threads, and just over 4.5 of 32GB of ram used, also running malwarebytes premium & dragon center and the essential bells and whistles in the background on Win10H on a now old i7 MSI GE73, it can be trimmed down a bit more but am happy with that, I have trimmed a fair bit of fat off an update rollup a couple of years ago and the junkware hasnt come back on, I removed the unneeded packages by hand from powershell - and had to rename cortana on the fly before its service restarted to get rid of it- I dont like the extra hand holding and the other junk that increases your attack surface so that went! I always check the systems integrity before imaging the partition with dism before adjusting anything, its better to be safe than sorry :). I usually pull the drive out of a new personal laptop and install from scratch on a new empty device, but not had to do this on the GE73 as there wasnt that much bloat on it when new which surprised me- this install is around 5 years old - it still gets the essential and security updates - and it gets more use than my workstation - it also plays star citizen pretty well for an old i7 8750h/gtx1060 machine too

@@iamerror1699 I too switched entirely to Linux and I actually like 8.1's UI, I tought others wouldn't like it so I called it uglier. But yeah, Linux is the best! Just hard to reccomend to Windows users tho
I haven't used Chris's Tool in a while but the last time I did I hated the fact that it would execute each thing you checked as you did it instead of checking whatever then having an "execute" button. Other than that tho it was super interesting and impressive to say the least and just keeps getting better.
Brian, I really like the app that Chris Titus has created and understand you are not cutting down his app. You could stop your RGB and Nvidia services and drop your running processes. Or install and use Linux.
I believe that for modern browsers that run tabs in isolated memory spaces, each tab instance also counts as a process. So if you clean boot your machine, even running something like and you start off with say 260 processes, if you open a browser with 20 tabs the process count will automatically jump to 280. I believe this is the case, though I may certainly be wrong. Bri is absolutely right - on machines that you actually use, there really is only so far you can go to reduce core Windows processes before you either have issues or you break something you didn't know you needed for some programs to function.
My Windows 8.1 has only 32 processes running at every time. To be precise it's Windows Server 2012 R2 since it's still supported and still has security updates, Windows 8.1 is the exact same, just outdated in security and with more aesthetic / GUI options.

btw on browsers it really depends on what you're using. If it's Chrome or Edge then of course it's going to be an extreme bloat. But browsers can be extremely lightweight and with barely any feature missing, mostly just UI. Just like Windows 8.1 compared to 10... seriously try it out!
@@leothehuman_9476 Yeah, that's great but really, running Win Server 2012 is not an option or consideration for most people. Right or wrong, that's just the case. cheers about the lighter weight browser tips. I haven't checked any out myself but will do just to see what's what.
280 sin los tweaks y ahora apenas termina de iniciar la máquina, 151. La verdad es que tiene mucha razón lo que dice Britec09 (por cierto, muy buenas palabras) no podemos pretender cortar a la mitad los procesos de nuestra computadora de uso personal cuando tenemos instalados todos nuestros programas de trabajo, juegos, antiviruz, etc. Los procesos son necesarios, pero es cierto que hay algunos de windows de los que podemos desprendernos. Muy buen video :D. pd: uso wallpaper engine.
The lowest I can go 100+ processes. But I need lower. I think dual boot Windows still the safest here to separate between general work usage and for gaming only.

For me, with all the necessary drivers, programs, launchers and backlight control (I only use msi center which can also be slimmed down) on windows 11, of course, after a bit more thorough optimization, I went down from about 150 processes to 75-80 at startup. So it depends on how much garbage you install because probably half of it is unnecessary anyway. For the rest Chris had more in mind halving the windows processes and he succeeded and everyone uses different software so the end result may be different.

And of course when you have that many processes running after using Chris's script, that's when you go through your startup programs in msconfig or whatever. You don't necessarily need manufacturwer programs or driver applications running every bootup unless you really need them. Between Chrome processes, Malwarebytes Firewall control, iSLC, and Winamp and the touchpad driver, I'm at 94. 68 when Chrome is closed.
Windows 11 21H2 running Chris Titus tool got 75 processes running. In stock trim it was 140 something. This is with no programs or other things running in background.
what about using portable programs instead of installing them? I think installation of programs will not close update processes even if the program is closed, you can see them in task manager in details tab, using portable programs is better because once you close the program, all processes stops. what do you think about that?
@@BenSXD. not really "performance" in terms of fps (if u got a good cpu already) but system latency is way better with optimized windows (and yes u can totally feel that)
hi! thanks for the video, resetted my pc a few weeks ago, downloaded everything i needed, my proccesses were around 240 then after using chris's tool, it dropped to around 175 and for memory in use, it was around 11gbs available 19 to now being 7gbs in use and 24 available! i was able to lower my proccess like 2 weeks ago but i assume it went back up.
After Chris's tool, my pc is at around 135 processes with Steam, ICUE, MSI Afterburber and Soundlock. All these run at startup because i need them. I have a 13700KF with 32GB of ram at 6400mhZ. Reducing below 135 will not be providing any major performance gains for me since my PC can easily handle that (i have 1%-2% CPU usage at idle with the above programs open). So don't get too obsessed with the numbers, especially if you have a modern CPU and at least 32GB of ram.
You need a baseline, so testing on a fairly new install is obviously the correct way to do it. Obviously you can't reduce processes YOU choose to leave on. It's absolutely possible running a fully functional system with games, productivity apps etc. all while hovering around the 110-150 range of processes.
Who runs a fresh install without all there software? As soon as you install everything, them processes will climb rapidly, so your 70 processes will be gone.
@@Britec09 Right now I have Cyberpunk 2077 running along with UA-cam in Firefox with other tabs open, power toys, Standby List cleaner, security software etc. and I have 124 processes at the moment. My installation is not based on a stripped down ISO.
8:02 This is probably the most annoying thing about Win11 22H2 update. It's sooo annoying always having the be careful when clicking things because the popup label is always blocking the mouse pointer. Any idea how to fix it?
Hmm Brian my task manager does not show the number of processes running - it lists them but nothing for the total number, and frankly I am not savvy enough to figure out what a lot of these processes actually do. My laptop runs really well enough for me and my memory is steady at 50% used and CPU at 12%. So I have no idea on getting rid of processes would benefit me.😕
What is windows light(lite?)? Where can I get it? Can deleting stuff help with reducing processes? Can they just be suspended until I'm ready to restart them?

Sorry but I must disagree. I use my PC for work and gaming and my process count is 96 on startup. I have RGB on my GPU, Motherboard, RAM, and Fans. I use OpenRGB and Fan Control. Furthermore, I installed Nvidia Drivers with NVCleanstall. You just need to be cautious on what you install on your system. Razer Synapse - no. Standard Nvidia Drivers with GeForce Experience - no. Corsair iCue - no. Asus Armory Crate - hell no! The list goes on and on. Be aware of bloatware from proprietary hardware manufacturers and choose lighter alternatives! This way you get low process counts without compromising on functionality.
So can we cut our system processes by half? let me know your results down below.

I use Titus' software frequently and processes on my main machine are usually down to 140 or so. Many programs that start at windows start up have to be turned off within the program itself, through settings. Titus does great videos as do you.
My *Windows 8.1* has only *32 processes* running, and only takes from *600 to 800MBs of RAM.*
To be precise it's Windows Server 2012 R2 since it's still supported and it still has security updates but Windows 8.1 is what it's based on, so it works and runs exactly the same.
So to everyone here, you should absolutely try it out! Windows 10 has almost no reason to exist at all, and you'll see why!
In 8.1 there is literally *NOT ONE FEATURE MISSING FROM WINDOWS 10.*
It is only a user interface downgrade, and while it's much uglier, it's the lightest Windows can get with no compromises other than aesthetics and UI.
I have plenty of data to show all the incredible speed boosts that 8.1 gave me, so ask me anything.
While it may won't be that useful to get it on a powerful PC, I can guarantee you that it gives an amazing speed boost in about everything for older PCs with less RAM or slower CPUs.
So... *give Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2 a try!*
So, I have used Chris's tool with, and without a custom ISO (that I made, ripping out everything but the frameworks and whatnot).
With a system of 4 years, no refresh of the OS, I managed to get it down to 180 processes.
With a clean install with my custom ISO, I have it stable to 166 processes or lower every time.
The glaring thing that I saw that Britec did not do (or has but still has many of) is disabling startups. This is on a person to person bases. Just know that if you don't disable a good portion of your startup programs, you too could also have over 200 processes on startup. There are also other things to help lower processes, but Chris's tool is a good overall in covering most of them. Just be carful what you take out using Chris's tool.
I already had start-ups disabled. But you are right, each pc will be different and yes, if you want to remove some processes then Chris Titus tools is one you could use. But you wont remove half the processes, that was clickbait lol
Chris has really optimised the tool over the past months/years, it should always be a top priority to use this when you do a fresh install of Windows, as it really does help give you back more performance of the computer YOU PAID FOR. I use this a lot across multiple systems, even my workstation lol. My gaming desktop has 80 processes running at boot and I love how slim it is.
That being said I am a firm believer that you should never let a system get this bloated with background tasks and startup applications, especially if you game on the system, because it really is a waste of resources that could be better utilised by your games. I get that every person's scenario is different and I'm not saying that you should purge everything from running at all, but I mean in cases like Microsoft Edge, if you literally never use it then what point is there in having it run at system start?
I see, I just reset my laptop so the timing couldn't be better.

This worked for me from 200+ to 81, thank you
So far everything you say here is correct.
But if one is willing to make a few compromises, it is quite possible to start the system with only 76 active processes, as in my case, and that with a processor stamina of just 1%....
Chriss is doing a wonderful job! Assuming you know what you're doing! as a computer dyslexic I would recommend to keep your hands off

@@leothehuman_9476 Windows before 10 were very light in use, i so badly want to use 7 but it has compatibility issues on newer hardware and also has some security issues after the support is discontinued
@@Gre3k Me too, that's why Windows 8.1 is the best option, right now Server 2012 R2 is still supported with very frequent security updates so try that out! I'm sure you'll be amazed by its performance, it's the lightest Windows can get since XP!!
The only downside is that you might find the interface very ugly and you might hate the start menu, but for me that's not a problem at all so it's my daily driver now.
how much fps u get on 8.1 compared to 10?@@leothehuman_9476
And THAT Ladies & Gentlemen is the VERY definition of an English Gentleman!! Well done Mate!!
Fantastic, sensible video. Very realistic about what to do and what to expect.
Good job !!
Although I'm not on a brand new windows install (upgraded to 11 from 10 recently) running this tool did cut quite a few processes off still which is nice.
Also on another PC, I did it on a fresh install and it went from 120 to 64 processes ^^
Chris Titus got from 180 processes to 50 processes but I also did my own tweaks
SignalRgb can control most RGB devices in one program and also some keyboards, mouses and audio devices
you can reduce your processes in half. when i had windows after a restart, the task manager after a while concluded on values from 111 to 113 processes, which is less than half of 280, plus i am using a home version. it just takes a powerwash and lots of services disabiling and apps-deleting plus maybe general optimizations
Chris does great work, as you do too, you both give a lot to the community, I just checked my own machine and with just chrome + 4 tabs running am using 152 processes with 1702 threads, and just over 4.5 of 32GB of ram used, also running malwarebytes premium & dragon center and the essential bells and whistles in the background on Win10H on a now old i7 MSI GE73, it can be trimmed down a bit more but am happy with that, I have trimmed a fair bit of fat off an update rollup a couple of years ago and the junkware hasnt come back on, I removed the unneeded packages by hand from powershell - and had to rename cortana on the fly before its service restarted to get rid of it- I dont like the extra hand holding and the other junk that increases your attack surface so that went! I always check the systems integrity before imaging the partition with dism before adjusting anything, its better to be safe than sorry :). I usually pull the drive out of a new personal laptop and install from scratch on a new empty device, but not had to do this on the GE73 as there wasnt that much bloat on it when new which surprised me- this install is around 5 years old - it still gets the essential and security updates - and it gets more use than my workstation - it also plays star citizen pretty well for an old i7 8750h/gtx1060 machine too

@@leothehuman_9476 'uglier', it is just preference. However yea, it has okay performance. I like linux better tho.
@@iamerror1699 I too switched entirely to Linux and I actually like 8.1's UI, I tought others wouldn't like it so I called it uglier.
But yeah, Linux is the best! Just hard to reccomend to Windows users tho
I haven't used Chris's Tool in a while but the last time I did I hated the fact that it would execute each thing you checked as you did it instead of checking whatever then having an "execute" button. Other than that tho it was super interesting and impressive to say the least and just keeps getting better.
Brian, I really like the app that Chris Titus has created and understand you are not cutting down his app. You could stop your RGB and Nvidia services and drop your running processes. Or install and use Linux.
To reduce mine, it would mean removing RGB, Adobe, Logitech, etc etc that is something people need to understand, its different from pc to pc.
I believe that for modern browsers that run tabs in isolated memory spaces, each tab instance also counts as a process. So if you clean boot your machine, even running something like and you start off with say 260 processes, if you open a browser with 20 tabs the process count will automatically jump to 280.
I believe this is the case, though I may certainly be wrong.
Bri is absolutely right - on machines that you actually use, there really is only so far you can go to reduce core Windows processes before you either have issues or you break something you didn't know you needed for some programs to function.
My Windows 8.1 has only 32 processes running at every time.
To be precise it's Windows Server 2012 R2 since it's still supported and still has security updates, Windows 8.1 is the exact same, just outdated in security and with more aesthetic / GUI options.

btw on browsers it really depends on what you're using. If it's Chrome or Edge then of course it's going to be an extreme bloat. But browsers can be extremely lightweight and with barely any feature missing, mostly just UI.
Just like Windows 8.1 compared to 10... seriously try it out!
@@leothehuman_9476 Yeah, that's great but really, running Win Server 2012 is not an option or consideration for most people. Right or wrong, that's just the case.
cheers about the lighter weight browser tips. I haven't checked any out myself but will do just to see what's what.
Browser extensions also cause more processes as i use quite a few my system gets up to 300+ processes.

You are so welcome
cant wait for the working optimizations video
280 sin los tweaks y ahora apenas termina de iniciar la máquina, 151. La verdad es que tiene mucha razón lo que dice Britec09 (por cierto, muy buenas palabras) no podemos pretender cortar a la mitad los procesos de nuestra computadora de uso personal cuando tenemos instalados todos nuestros programas de trabajo, juegos, antiviruz, etc. Los procesos son necesarios, pero es cierto que hay algunos de windows de los que podemos desprendernos. Muy buen video :D.

Very welcome
thank you so much for this video I went from around 180 to 93

The lowest I can go 100+ processes. But I need lower. I think dual boot Windows still the safest here to separate between general work usage and for gaming only.

For me, with all the necessary drivers, programs, launchers and backlight control (I only use msi center which can also be slimmed down) on windows 11, of course, after a bit more thorough optimization, I went down from about 150 processes to 75-80 at startup.
So it depends on how much garbage you install because probably half of it is unnecessary anyway.
For the rest Chris had more in mind halving the windows processes and he succeeded and everyone uses different software so the end result may be different.

Ong my processes went down from 150 to 84 thank you so much
Hi... I would like to find out how you did the black background with white text as you went along this video thanks 👍
i had 273 processes before, now i have 267. didnt know 267 was half of 273, woooow
And of course when you have that many processes running after using Chris's script, that's when you go through your startup programs in msconfig or whatever. You don't necessarily need manufacturwer programs or driver applications running every bootup unless you really need them. Between Chrome processes, Malwarebytes Firewall control, iSLC, and Winamp and the touchpad driver, I'm at 94. 68 when Chrome is closed.
OMG! thank you sooo much my gamepolay has improved soo much more im gonna kms
Windows 11 21H2 running Chris Titus tool got 75 processes running. In stock trim it was 140 something. This is with no programs or other things running in background.
That's my point, once you install applications, RGB software etc etc, it will grow.
Currently on 159 process hopefully it go done after watching this video and knowing what to.
what about using portable programs instead of installing them? I think installation of programs will not close update processes even if the program is closed, you can see them in task manager in details tab, using portable programs is better because once you close the program, all processes stops.
what do you think about that?
just a question if u lower the processes and u play video games does it mean it gonna feel smoother and go more towards the game now?
It should feel slightly smoother since there are less processes hogging up resources
got my system from 200+ processes down to around 90 and use it since 4 years for gaming/studying
Does it effects gaming performance
@@BenSXD. not really "performance" in terms of fps (if u got a good cpu already) but system latency is way better with optimized windows (and yes u can totally feel that)

hi! thanks for the video, resetted my pc a few weeks ago, downloaded everything i needed, my proccesses were around 240 then after using chris's tool, it dropped to around 175 and for memory in use, it was around 11gbs available 19 to now being 7gbs in use and 24 available! i was able to lower my proccess like 2 weeks ago but i assume it went back up.

My All Time Fav UA-camr Chris Titus Tech.. 🤗 🥰 ❤️ #WindowsDebloat
Better tools to debloat in my honest opinion, but its still a great all-round tool
After Chris's tool, my pc is at around 135 processes with Steam, ICUE, MSI Afterburber and Soundlock. All these run at startup because i need them. I have a 13700KF with 32GB of ram at 6400mhZ. Reducing below 135 will not be providing any major performance gains for me since my PC can easily handle that (i have 1%-2% CPU usage at idle with the above programs open). So don't get too obsessed with the numbers, especially if you have a modern CPU and at least 32GB of ram.
I guess I'm quite happy with my own personal tweaks. I've got mine down to 163.
i run the tweak on my office computer and from 258 process cut down to 143 when i start my browser before was 122 :)
You need a baseline, so testing on a fairly new install is obviously the correct way to do it. Obviously you can't reduce processes YOU choose to leave on. It's absolutely possible running a fully functional system with games, productivity apps etc. all while hovering around the 110-150 range of processes.
Who runs a fresh install without all there software? As soon as you install everything, them processes will climb rapidly, so your 70 processes will be gone.
@@Britec09 right, but you're debloating windows, not your personal choice of apps. You know what I mean?
@@Britec09 Right now I have Cyberpunk 2077 running along with UA-cam in Firefox with other tabs open, power toys, Standby List cleaner, security software etc. and I have 124 processes at the moment. My installation is not based on a stripped down ISO.

Hey Brian plz make a video how to squeeze out Free Storage in C Drive And how to free more Ram.
Hmm Brian my task manager does not show the number of processes running - it lists them but nothing for the total number, and frankly I am not savvy enough to figure out what a lot of these processes actually do. My laptop runs really well enough for me and my memory is steady at 50% used and CPU at 12%. So I have no idea on getting rid of processes would benefit me.😕
What a rambling video about someone elses success
What is windows light(lite?)? Where can I get it? Can deleting stuff help with reducing processes? Can they just be suspended until I'm ready to restart them?

stay on 8.1 - it is simple 😁
only when support ends - then upgrade but not to 11.....

And unlike most RGB, you need a custom app. Most devices these days will support OpenRGB but only a few icue things.
not gonna lie, it didnt reduce to half for me but it did bring me from 260-270 to 170-180 so its still a good tool if you just want to reduce the number.

Hello is it possible to undo these things?
yeah there is an undo tweak button im pretty sure

Sorry but I must disagree. I use my PC for work and gaming and my process count is 96 on startup. I have RGB on my GPU, Motherboard, RAM, and Fans. I use OpenRGB and Fan Control. Furthermore, I installed Nvidia Drivers with NVCleanstall.
You just need to be cautious on what you install on your system.
Razer Synapse - no.
Standard Nvidia Drivers with GeForce Experience - no.
Corsair iCue - no.
Asus Armory Crate - hell no!
The list goes on and on.
Be aware of bloatware from proprietary hardware manufacturers and choose lighter alternatives! This way you get low process counts without compromising on functionality.
