Some bad advice in there... Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force Should be: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process Turning off that feat

Some bad advice in there... Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force Should be: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process Turning off that feature permanently is a bad idea.

You're trying to convince a bunch of people that think curl | sudo sh with random scripts off the internet is perfectly okay.

      Are there signed executables that do what Win11Debloat and similar tools do?

    > What better alternatives do you recommend? Install packages only from the operating system's package repository or from another trusted repository. If the software installer is only available as a script, download the script manually and check its contents instead of piping it to a root shell (and maybe run it in a VM instead). That way, you can know if the code is trying to do something nefarious. Piping to Bash can also be detected server side, so a server can serve malicious code when it is piped and good code when it is not. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11532599 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11532599

  This is kind of the problem with Windows-y thinking, yes. "Oh the security stuff is in the way, why does it need that, MSDOS doesn't have it, no-one needs it"
