What is it?

Win11Debloat is a PowerShell script for cleaning up a fresh or existing Windows installation. It can remove a range of preinstalled apps, disable telemetry and diagnostic data collection, turn off tips, suggestions and ads in Windows, the lock screen and Microsoft Edge, and remove or disable Copilot, Windows Recall and Click to Do.

Beyond privacy settings, it covers appearance, taskbar, Start menu, File Explorer and Windows Update behavior, such as enabling dark mode, restoring the Windows 10 context menu, showing file extensions, or preventing updates from restarting the PC. It requires no installation: you can run it through an interactive menu or with command-line parameters. Changes can be reverted, and most removed apps can be reinstalled from the Microsoft Store.

For administrators, the script supports exporting and importing a settings profile, applying changes to other user accounts, and a Sysprep mode that targets the Windows default user profile so new users inherit the same configuration.
