The number of modified versions of Windows continues to increase. We can see some versions of Windows having some features disabled and changed over the internet. AtlasOS, on the other hand, is designed to provide the best Windows 10 experience for those with relatively old hardware.
Windows 11It was released on October 5, 2021 and it has been a long time. Microsoft keeps improving its new system and fixing bugs. Microsoft, which has received a backlash from the tech world, wants what we can call tough system requirements for Windows 11. The number of users of Windows 10 is quite large and it will serve the users for many years.
What does AtlasOS offer?
AtlasOS can be called an “open source” modification of Windows 10. According to its developers, some changes have been made to Windows 10 – the most popular and specially designed “for gamers” operating system. The developers also claim that Atlas users will be able to get higher frame rates and lower input lag. That said, the OS requirements are decent enough for people running both low-end systems and high-end gaming machines.
To the official site of the project When we look at it, we see that some improvements have been made to reduce the computational stress on the CPU. For this, the number of running processes is reduced. At the same time, system latency has been reduced. Since the ISO file is small compared to official Windows images, the operating system takes up less space. As for another detail, the focus is on privacy since Windows telemetry is disabled. Thus, users and programmers can easily check what kind of changes AtlasOS actually makes to Windows 10.
Compared with the original release of Windows 10 21H1, AtlasOS version 0.5.2 reduces the number of running processes from 185 to around 35. There is a big difference in memory usage; It goes from 1.5GB to 600MB. Also, the makers of AtlasOS point out that processing latency has decreased from 3.09 to 2.55.
Project image Git Hub Coming to the page, Atlas claims that it removes all the “negative drawbacks of Windows” that can negatively affect gaming performance, while also improving system and network latency and input lag. It’s a good idea to remove tracking features from Windows 10. On the other hand, AtlasOS has a detail that raises questions; Many security features referred to as “bloatware” are disabled.
AtlasOS disables mitigation measures against hardware security flaws in modern Intel and AMD processors, such as Specter and Meltdown. Apparently the developers don’t care much about security features/patches. In short, everything is performance oriented. We said that AtlasOS is game oriented. In this context, all standard (security) features such as Trusted Platform Module (TPM), BitLocker, Windows Defender, Speech Recognition, Restore Points and System Restore, which do not attract much attention from gamers, have been removed.

Let’s move on to the open source nature of Project Atlas. The main tool used for modding on the system is closed source software. NT Lite known as. The creators of AtlasOS say they finally want to provide a script that will help users create a custom OS ISO for free.
When we put it all out and evaluate, AtlasOS is obviously a controversial operating system. There is always a risk as most of the security features are disabled. For this reason, users should take each step carefully. Plus, those with a new or slightly outdated computer can still use genuine Windows. However, if you mostly play on your computer and your system is old, you might consider giving AtlasOS a shot. Let me remind you once again, not only security features, but also many different features are disabled.
