win11debloat

Win11Debloat is a lightweight PowerShell script, with no installation required, for decluttering and customizing Windows 10/11. It can be run interactively through a menu or automated through a command-line interface. Most changes made by the script can be reverted, and almost all removed apps can be reinstalled through the Microsoft Store. Usage options include a one-line PowerShell download/run command, a manual Run.bat launcher, and a PowerShell advanced method. Administrator rights are required. The script also supports command-line parameters, applying changes to a different Windows user, and Sysprep/Audit mode so new user profiles automatically receive the desired settings.
