Important Disclaimer: There is no official "Microsoft" download for Chilled Windows. It is community-made software. As such, you must be extremely careful where you get it.
The most frequently cited source for the Chilled Windows V2 download is Internet Archive (archive.org) or dedicated OS modding Discord servers. Always verify the SHA-1 hash of the ISO file if provided by the creator.
The V2 release removes approximately 90% of UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps. No Xbox Game Bar, no Microsoft News, no OneDrive, no Paint 3D. The only remaining components are critical system files.
The most reliable place to find the download is usually the creator's social media or itch.io page.
(Note: As with all art projects, links can sometimes break or change. If the primary link is down, check the creator’s Twitter/X for updates.)
Microsoft will not help you. If Chilled Windows V2 crashes, you cannot run sfc /scannow expecting it to work, as many system files are custom-modified.
Since Chilled Windows v2 is essentially a lightweight application, it runs on almost anything.
Once you have verified the ISO file, here is how to install Chilled Windows V2.
