|

|
||||
### Default Settings
|
||||
|
||||
Win11Debloat's default mode allows you to quickly and easily apply the changes that are recommended for most people. This includes removing many annoying distractions, disabling telemetry and tracking and optionally uninstalling the default or your custom selection of apps. To apply the default settings, launch the script as you normally would and select option `1` in the script menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can launch the script with the `-RunDefaults` or `-RunDefaultsLite` parameters to immediately run the defaults without going through the menu or the app removal options. Using the `-RunDefaults` parameter will run the script in default mode and remove the default selection of apps. While using the `-RunDefaultsLite` parameter will run the script in default mode without removing any apps. Example:
|
||||
```Powershell
|
||||
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://debloat.raphi.re/"))) -RunDefaults
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
