/Debloat-Windows

A Collection of Debloat Utilities for Windows 10 and Windows 11

Primary LanguagePowerShellOtherNOASSERTION

This is a fork of the original Debloat Windows 10. It is constantly updated and should work on Windows 10 or 11.

Note that the original Debloat-Windows-10 is generally unmaintained and is not very useful for Windows 11.

This fork is designed for a lighter debloat (that doesn't break important windows features) for gaming and general use.

This fork includes additonal utilities in the scripts and startup folders.

Also, note that gaming-related apps and services will remain intact or will be reinstalled by default.

There is no undo. Be sure to edit the scripts to your preference before running them. Also, there is no guarantee that everything will work after future updates since I cannot predict what Microsoft will do next.

Dependencies & Setup

  1. Install/Upgrade WinGet: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1
  2. Use the "PowerShell v1.0 (Administrator)" shortcut (in the main folder) to run setup commands and install the newest PowerShell version:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

ls -Recurse *.ps* | Unblock-File

winget install Microsoft.Powershell --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

Usage

Scripts are located in the "scripts" folder. Scripts can be run individually; pick what you need.

  1. Install all available updates for your system.
  2. The scripts are designed to run without any user interaction. Edit the scripts to fit your need. Check the comments within each script.
  3. Use the "Windows PowerShell 7.x (Administrator)" shortcut (in scripts folder) to easily run the scripts.

Download Latest Version

Code located in the master branch is always considered under development, but you'll probably want the most recent version anyway.
