Our optimized Windows builds are designed to enhance performance, privacy, stability and control, lower resource use, improve responsiveness, and run on virtually any PC. Old or new, weak or strong.

Windows X-Lite builds are tailored to provide you with a light, clean, bloat free,  performance focused experience! - Designed to maximize privacy, performance and control. They use far less resources, and give you more freedom of choice by offering optional Defender, Edge, Widgets, Automatic Updates, and Microsoft Store.

 

Privacy is enhanced by removing and disabling as much telemetry (data collection) as possible, without sacrificing functionality (Updates & MS Store still supported!).

 

Performance and Responsiveness are enhanced by reducing background processes, tweaking the services and registry, disabling Defender (optional), automatic updates, telemetry, and much more.

 

Control is enhanced by letting you choose what gets installed. No preinstalled Windows Apps, MS Store, Web Browsers, and includes optional Defender, Edge, Widgets, and Automatic Updates. Uses a classic Start Menu by default to provide an ad free experience, with easier access to your Apps and System controls. Designed to make you feel like you have control of your operating system again, and you get to choose what gets installed and updated, instead of it choosing for you.

 

I hope you enjoy our builds, and hope you have a fantastic 2026!

Sincerely, James (FBConan)
