#debloat tool

This is from a guide that a cool IT guy put together for us at work. It has been super helpful in debloating my personal computer, so I wanted to pass along the knowledge for all!

Visit this link https://github.com/LeDragoX/Win-Debloat-Tools and click the green (or blue)  <> Code  button at the top-right

Select Download ZIP

Download the .zip archive, extract the files into their own folder, and view the new folder. (Extracting to a USB key works well too)

Double-click on the OpenTerminalHere.cmd file to run it. If nothing happens, right-click the file and select Run as administrator. A terminal window will open.

Type this command and press Enter Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

Type this command and press Enter .\WinDebloatTools.ps1

After a moment, the System Tweaks window will appear. Click the Apply Tweaks button, top center (the script doesn't show any activity while running, just wait it out)

8. At some point during the process a window may appear informing you that Location Services have been turned off. That’s good, and you almost certainly want that. Click the Got It! button.

9. Click OK at the Process Completed notice, then close the System Tweaks window by clicking the X in the upper right corner.

10. Click Yes at the Do you want to Restart now? prompt.

11. Your Windows 11 installation is now “debloated” and you can stop here. However, the script does not remove a few things that you might want to remove yourself…

Click the Start button > Settings > Apps > Installed apps

Click the three dots icon to the right of each app you want to remove, and select Uninstall.

Uninstall the following apps (rule of thumb: If it prompts you create or log in to your “Microsoft account” then uninstall it):

Camera, Copilot (and anything else with "Copilot" branding), Microsoft ClipChamp, Microsoft News, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft To Do, Movies and TV, Office 365, Outlook (Lookout!), Power Automate, Quick Assist, Windows Clock, Xbox, LinkedIn
