### Default Settings
Win11Debloat offers a default mode that allows you to quickly and easily apply the changes that are recommended for most people. This includes uninstalling apps that most would consider bloatware, removing many annoying distractions and disabling telemetry and tracking. 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` parameter. Example:
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
