Windows 11 ships with dozens of apps you never asked for — Candy Crush, Xbox Game Bar, Teams Chat, and an expanding roster of AI integrations that run in the background, consume RAM, and send diagnostic data to Microsoft's servers. Removing them manually means combing through Settings, registry entries, and PowerShell one item at a time — a process most users abandon halfway through.

Win11Debloat handles all of it in a single MIT-licensed PowerShell script. Run it in interactive mode to select exactly what to strip, or pass command-line flags for a silent unattended run — useful for IT admins provisioning multiple machines. The script removes AppX packages, disables Windows telemetry and diagnostic tracking, turns off Bing web search in the Start Menu, restores the classic right-click context menu that Windows 11 buried behind an extra click, and lets you lock down Taskbar layout.

Compared to paid cleanup utilities like CCleaner Professional or Glary Utilities, Win11Debloat does nothing underhanded: it's a readable script you can audit line by line before running. No installer, no bundled adware, no subscription required. A Sysprep mode applies settings to new user profiles at provisioning time — handy for clean installs. The script also supports Windows 10, so you can use the same workflow regardless of which version you're on.

The practical result is a system with fewer background processes, less network chatter to Microsoft's analytics endpoints, and a taskbar that reflects your actual preferences rather than Microsoft's marketing agenda. For anyone setting up a fresh Windows install, this is the first script to run.
