I flew it for years on a 1070. And even with sickeningly low framerates and pixely mess graphics viewed through your auntie Maudes’ stockings it was, has always been a truly glorious experience.

Hey Guys,
I was gonna ask a question about a program but let me make sure it is ok to discuss it here first… I have a Win 10 Debloater Program I am trying to use are they frowned upon here at MudSpike?
As long as you’re not sharing ways to illegally obtain software, I think you’re in the clear.
The only personal experience I have with Windows debloating is a Powershell script that made it look like Windows 7. Quick Access back to “this pc” etc. This was used when in the initial builds, Cortana couldn’t be turned off and stuff like that.
@Freak, Yes I do not do illegal software. and would not share how to obtain it if asked… so no worries there. 
OK I went ahead and ran the program to get the screenshots of the program and what parts it removes.
here is the 1st Pic Privacy Settings:
the ones here I am unsure of what they do and is it safe to remove them
A. Assigned Access
D. Kernal Debugging
Here is the next part System Components:
A. Device Lockdown Embedded Experience
C. Easy Transfer
E. Manual Setup Inplace Upgrade
Here is the next section System Apps:
- Assigned Access Lock App Depends on Assigned Access
- Content Delivery manager Needed for out of box experience
- Credential Dialog Host
- File Explorer App
- OOBE Network Captive Portal
- OOBE Network Connection Flow.
- Quick Assist App
- Setting Sync
- Win32 Web View Host
- XBox Console Companion (IS this required for WMR?)
35 XBox Live (Required for WMR?) - Modern External GPU Eject App (WTH is this?)
Here is the next Remove Windows Apps:
- Camera (is this required for my G2 VR Headset?)
- Desktop App Installer ( I am thinking I need this to insall 3rd party apps and programs?)
- XBox Console Companion (is this required for WMR?)
- XBox Identity Provider (Same as Above?)
There is one more question I have do I need to run the following to remove the Windows Apps (Remove Menu)
- Remove Windows app using Apps list.
Do I need to select that or will the previous menu of remove components remove all the above in Pics? this is a little confusing as I did not do this the last time and all those app I did remove seem to still be in Windows as I did not remove using #2 in the remove menu.
So basically I only need a rundown of this things I listed above and if they are safe to remove for my Install of Windows or will it affect any Logon or WMR Services and such?
Not sure if you have seen this thread There are several VR tweak links. Check out Thud’s VR4DCS link specifically. The shaders mod work and fps gain will depend on which version you use.

@ Chaz, Yes I have seen those mods but did not see the link you sent had some good links there I will try them…
But as for the VR4DCS I am trying to omit most of that with the MSMG Toolkit so I can get a barre bones OS install without all the bloatware running…
I will give the VR Mod another go.
“Truly glorious” … there we go again! What drugs are you using? I want some. 
these trees are a must for vr imho.
I have 1080TI and 9600K , 24gb DD4 3000mhz etc…
Reverb G2 here and i say that its bare minimum to play SP and in heavy MP scenarios its ■■■■.
DCS is still so mess what comes to VR performance that i really , really hope that Vulkan support is made right… maybe then 
And sorry for rant, bad day etc
