If you have to use Windows Server (or other Windows), install the hellzerg Optimizer

Unfortunately these services also open up security issues

Yes I think the better solution is to read your username. It's hard to argue with Linux and BSDs when it comes to servers.

I agree 100%. Google Cloud platform doesn't have Windows servers and the cloud providers are simply two small for Microsoft products.

Its hard to beat a Linux server as you can spin one up on prem or in the cloud quickly and it doesn't have a lot of overhead in most cases.

Who exactly is the target audience for this? Home users running Windows server? This would get flagged for sure in an enterprise environment and no self respecting admin would ever install something like that.

When the switch to run it on a server is "/unsafe" I think I'll pass 🤣

Anyway on Windows the Optimizer is an must have app. It is the best to cut M$'s bad habits

Yeeeeah, no enterprise admin would run that.. GPOs would do the same with more transparency and no privacy concerns (besides running Windows of course)
