Win11Debloat is a lightweight, easy to use PowerShell script that allows you to quickly declutter and customize your Windows experience, no installation required! You can use it to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, remove intrusive interface elements and much more. No need to painstakingly go through all the settings yourself or remove apps one by one. Win11Debloat makes the process quick and easy!
|
||||
|
||||
The script also includes many features that system administrators and power users will enjoy. Such as a powerful command-line interface, support for Windows Audit mode and the ability to make changes to other Windows users. Please refer to our [wiki](https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/wiki/) for more details.
