Debloating Windows 11

Uninstall apps

Windows 11 has a new app uninstall interface which is pretty good. To get there run "Settings", choose "Apps" from the sidebar and then choose "Installed apps". Remove anything you don't want. (e.g. Microsoft Family).

Uninstall XBox Game Bar

You can uninstall other XBox related apps from the "Settings" app, but XBox Game Bar will not uninstall.

Installing a Go development environment on a Windows PC

NOTE: A lot of these instructions change with Go 1.11 and later. These instructions are for Go 1.10.

Prerequisites

Install the following programs.

• Git bash (https://git-scm.com/download/win) Git is necessary for the go get command, and using the git bash command line works well with the go dev environment.

Notes on installing GRPC development environment for Go on Windows

Prerequisites:

1. Go development environment installed.
2. $GOPATH/bin

• I tend to use git bash on my command line, so even though these notes are for Windows, the command line examples have a Unix flavour.
• The directory names suit my Windows development machine, on which I have a D drive that I use for most of my development work.
