The first thing I did on my new Windows PC was run this PowerShell command
Key Points:
- Win11Debloat is a PowerShell script designed to optimize and declutter Windows 11 by removing unwanted apps, disabling unnecessary features, and customizing interface elements, saving users significant time compared to manual adjustments.
- The script helps remove pre-installed OEM and Microsoft apps, including promotional software like TikTok and Candy Crush Saga, freeing up storage and system resources.
- It offers privacy enhancements by disabling telemetry, targeted ads, lock screen tips, and Microsoft 365 Copilot ads, as well as the ability to turn off AI features and multitasking options.
- Users can restore familiar Windows 10 behaviors such as the classic context menu, modify Start Menu and Search settings, and export configurations for use on multiple devices.
- While highly useful, some options in Win11Debloat require caution, as disabling certain features like BitLocker or Storage Sense can have unintended consequences.
