Windows is slow, clunky and unreliable. Atlas brings life back to your Windows system, designed to maximize performance and minimize latency. You will experience a smoother and more responsive Windows, and higher framerates over using standard Windows.

By Removing unnecessary components, disabling power-saving features, and optimizing services.

By fine-tuning processes, implementing an efficient power plan, and optimizing networking, you’ll feel a difference.

Atlas gets rid of the following services and features:

“To address the recent concerns about AtlasOS’ security, and what we’re doing to improve.

When Atlas was more niche and mostly for power users and gamers that know their way around Windows, we previously liked to give users a compromise of security for performance, privacy and ease of use by default, presuming that the users know the risks and how to avoid being compromised.

However, due to our recent shift to being a more popular project, the security concerns have been brought up due to the expectation of everyone knowing the risks being unrealistic.

For this reason, in future versions of Atlas, it is now a priority to give the users warnings about disabling security features and having features like Windows Update and Defender optional.

Therefore, for the next release, you should be able to configure Atlas to be as secure as you’d like, potentially even more secure that stock Windows in some areas…

Window 10/11 became a hog with tens of unnecessary features, running tasks…
so software like NTLite or OS like Tiny10/Tiny11, AtlasOS.. sites like Black Viper.. and many apps that disable features, exist.
