Win11Debloat: Clean Windows with PowerShell Script

Do you find that Windows 11 or Windows 10 has an overwhelming amount of pre-installed apps, ads, and tracking?

We present to you Win11Debloat, an open-source PowerShell script designed to optimise your operating system, disable tracking, and provide you with unparalleled control over Windows customisation.

🧐 Why Debloat Windows 11?

New Windows 11 installations come with many pre-installed apps, an ad “suggestion,” a search that is heavily reliant on Bing, and intrusive data collection. Particularly on mid-range computers, all those background services reduce boot times, waste bandwidth, and eat at your privacy.

⚡ What Is Win11Debloat?

Declutter Windows 11 and Windows 10 with this little, open-source PowerShell script (★27.6k on GitHub).

Developed by RaphiRe, it eliminates unnecessary system files, disables data collection, removes Bing and Copilot, and even restores the classic right-click menu from Windows 10.

The PowerShell script is designed to:

• Remove bloatware applications (like Xbox, Candy Crush, etc.).
• Turn off telemetry, advertisements, activity tracking, and “suggested” content.
• Remove Bing and Copilot from your search and taskbar.
• Restore the classic Windows 10 context menu.
• Tweak visuals (disable animations/transparency).
• Provides version-specific fixes for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

👉 Perfect for users craving a clean, Microsoft-ad-free experience!

⚙️ 4 Simple Modes (Pick Your Fix!)

Launch the script and choose:

1. 🚀 Default Mode: One-click optimization (applies recommended settings).
2. 🎛️ Custom Mode: Handpick what to remove/disable (ideal for advanced users).
3. 🗑️ App Removal Mode: Target bloatware apps only.
4. 💾 Saved Config Mode: Allows you to reuse your previous configuration without manually reconfiguring anything.

✨ Custom Mode: Total Control

Prefer precision? Custom Mode lets you decide:

• App Removal: Default, expanded, or custom app lists (e.g., Mail, Xbox, HP bloat).
• Privacy Shields: Disable telemetry, ads, Cortana, or Recall snapshots.
• UI Tweaks: Dark mode, classic context menu, and Start/Taskbar cleanup.
• Search Fixes: Purge Bing from Windows Search!

💡 Pro Tip: Custom selections auto-save to CustomAppsList for reuse!

⚡ Automate with PowerShell Commands

Skip menus! Run Win11Debloat directly via PowerShell:

 

# Quick online install (Admin PowerShell):  
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm “https://debloat.raphi.re/“)))  

# Examples:

🔄 Revert Changes Easily

Have you changed your mind? Nothing is permanent.

• The script maintains a log for each modification.
• Win11Debloat uses policies rather than deleting the registry to make it reversible; it may display harmless “Managed by your organization” banners from time to time.
• Let’s you reinstall any app that has been removed, either from the Microsoft Store or by using PowerShell’s Add-AppxPackage command.

 

💡 Why Win11Debloat is a Must-Try for Windows Users
