I want to bring my computer to the brink of death using an overdose of chemo, only to have it maybe survive and be a normal computer

Chemo rids your Windows 10 machine of the pre-installed junk you don't want. We can't guarantee that it will stay gone forever, but you may always come back for another round of treatment, if you desire.

Chemo can and will eat your lunch. Before using this tool, please make a snapshot, system restore point, or other backup of some kind.

The latest development build can be downloaded directly from AppVeyor.
