New Windows laptop? Don't touch anything until you run this.
Every OEM ships bloatware by default:
• Trial antivirus garbage
• Partner apps you'll never open
• Ads, widgets, news feeds
• Background processes eating RAM
• Temp files from factory testing
Manual cleanup is a nightmare. Use Grok Build instead.
Prompt:
"Audit this Windows PC and safely clean up everything unnecessary. Remove unwanted bloatware, trial software and preinstalled games, disable ads, recommendations, news/widgets and unnecessary startup/background apps, and clean temporary files. Do not touch drivers, Windows security, updates or anything required for the laptop's hardware. Show me the plan first, then make the approved changes."
Key: Make it show the plan first. Never let AI touch drivers, security patches, or hardware-critical software.
A clean Windows install turns a sluggish OEM machine into something you actually want to use.
This is basic OpSec for anyone serious about their setup.
