Because this is an ISO modified by an independent developer, you are relying entirely on their integrity. There is no automated way to audit that the build hasn't been backdoored with malware or spyware. Broken Features:
Native Windows features that drain system resources (like telemetry, heavy Windows Defender operations, and unnecessary background services) are removed or disabled by default. Ghost Toolbox:
Many "Lite" versions disable Windows Update or remove security features like Windows Defender to save resources, leaving the system vulnerable to zero-day exploits.
