Win11Debloat is a free PowerShell script that can remove some Windows 10 & 11 bloat.

With Win11Debloat, users can disable telemetry and simplify their experience by removing intrusive interface elements, ads, and context menu items. Instead of manually going through all the settings or removing apps individually, Win11Debloat streamlines the process, making it quick and effortless.

You have the option to select specific modifications for the script or go with the default settings for your Windows version. If you're unsatisfied with any of the changes, you can quickly undo them using the included registry files in the 'Regfiles' folder. Furthermore, any removed applications can be reinstalled from the Microsoft store.

It is always advisable to create a restore point before using apps such as Win11Debloat just in case you run into problems.

Open PowerShell and switch to the directory where you extracted the files.

Type in Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

Type in .\Win11Debloat.ps1 to run the script.

You can also open the script in Notepad and add a # before anything you don't want to disable. This allows you to make a custom script that only removes what you want.

Additionally, you can remove anything individually with arguments. For example, to remove only Bing Search, you can type in .\Win11Debloat.ps1 -RemoveApps -DisableBingSearches.

Once you run the script, you can choose Windows 10 or 11 defaults or the changes you want.

We have dozens of debloating scripts available here on MajorGeeks, but what we like is that this one is conservative compared to many other scripts. Anyone can easily customize it to suit their needs as well. If you always wanted to try a debloater script but were nervous about doing so, this is the one for you.
