Win10Debloat is a simple and lightweight powershell script that removes pre-installed windows 10/11 bloatware apps and declutters the experience by disabling or removing intrusive interface elements and context menu items. The script is specifically designed to be simple, quick and most importantly safe to run, it does not touch any essential windows files, settings or programs that could cause issues in the future.
You can pick and choose exactly which modifications you want the script to make, but the default settings should be fine for most people. All of the changes can be reverted using the registry files that are included in the 'Regfiles' folder, and all of the apps that are removed by default can easily be reinstalled from the microsoft store.
1. [Download the latest version of the script](https://github.com/Raphire/Win10Debloat/archive/master.zip), and extract the .ZIP file to your desired location.
3. Accept the windows UAC prompt to run the script as administrator, this is required for the script to function.
4. Select either default, or advanced setup depending on what changes you want to make. Advanced setup will allow you to choose exactly which changes you want to make, and which changes you want to skip.
5. Once the script has executed, restart your pc to ensure all changes are properly applied.
This method gives you the option to run the script with certain arguments to tailor the behaviour of the script to your needs without any user input during runtime, making it quicker and easier to deploy it on a large number of systems.
