A new open-source tool called optimizerDuck is quickly gaining popularity for letting users strip away Windows telemetry, ads, bloatware, and unwanted background services with a single click.

The lightweight 8MB executable offers over 35 optimizations across performance, privacy, GPU tuning, power settings, services, and user experience, with more than 200 toggleable services clearly labeled by risk level.

It includes a bloatware remover with previews, automatic rollback files for every change, and prompts users to create a system restore point before applying modifications.

The tool runs completely offline with no telemetry, ads, or premium upsells, and is released under GPL v3 for Windows 10 and 11 x64.

Users praise it for delivering a cleaner, more private Windows experience without complex scripts or paid software, directly addressing years of anti-user features like Cortana, Copilot suggestions, and location tracking.
