Is there a really stripped down version of Windows that basically only loads the OS?

I have a home studio using Windows to run the DAW (Digital audio workstation) software. The PC only runs this software and nothing else. Any new/update software is downloaded on my home PC (the one I'm using here) and transferred over. Being the DAW system works fine, I don't do any updates to it's version of Windows.

This studio PC NEVER goes online. It's not used for printing. It's not used for drafting letters or making memos or playing games. The only thing it does is run my DAW software.

Although the memory and CPU usage is very low before the DAW software is loaded, it would be nice if there was a version of Windows that was more stripped down, especially without the internet features (antimalware, defender, firewall, etc.) and things like printer spool and such that are loaded at startup that I don't use.

If it could just load the OS so I can install my DAW software with soundcard drivers and that's it.

Andy such version?

Hi Hello, I am a Microsoft user like you, try to help you solve this problem together!

According to your description, Microsoft is not available for such a version. There is such a diy version on the network, but security and reliability cannot be guaranteed, and it is not recommended to use it.

You can try to set it yourself, turn off unused features, and not start unrelated services

You can follow these guidelines to perform a clean boot
