# Win10Debloat
A simple powershell script that allows you to remove most pre-installed windows 10 apps, hide the 3D objects, onedrive and music folder from 'This pc' in windows explorer, disable bing in windows search and declutter the context menu.
Win10Debloat is a simple powershell script that allows you to remove most pre-installed windows 10 apps, disable bing in windows search, declutter the windows explorer sidebar by hiding certain folders (such as 3D objects) from the windows explorer sidebar and declutter the context menu by disabling certain options that a regular user would (almost) never use.
## How to run
Step 1. Download the script by clicking the green 'Code' button on the main github page, and extract the .ZIP file to your preferred location.
You can pick and choose 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 most if not all of the apps that are removed by default can easily be reinstalled from the microsoft store.
Step 2. Run the script by right-clicking the 'Run.ps1' file and selecting 'Run with Powershell' option.
### By default, the Win10Debloat script will:
- Remove all bloatware apps from [this list](#these-apps-will-be-deleted-by-default).
- Hide the 3D objects folder under 'This pc' in windows explorer.
- Disable bing in windows search.
- Disable the 'Include in library' from context menu.
- Disable the 'Give access to' from context menu.
- Disable the 'Share' from context menu.
Step 3. Next, accept the windows UAC prompt to run the script as administrator, this is required for the script to function.
## Usage
1. [Download the script](https://github.com/Raphire/Win10Debloat/archive/master.zip), and extract the .ZIP file to your desired location.
2. Run the script by right-clicking the 'Run.ps1' file and selecting 'Run with Powershell' option.
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.
Step 4. The script will now ask which changes you would like it to make, and start executing them.
