Windows debloat script made by Microsoft
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- Group_B 2y agoI’d like to think there is a Microsoft developer out there that used this script on the very machine that is helping create one of the listed applications that was removed.
- zadkey 2y agoI'm not sure I trust Microsoft's take on a debloat script for their own OS. Sure it will have less stuff, but I suspect there may be some remnants purposefully left behind.
- tarnith 2y agoThere definitely are. I don't see anything touching most of the telemetry here, cortana, etc. This looks like a basic default apps store uninstall and not much else.
- RajT88 2y agoWhat jumps out at me is that it doesn't touch OneDrive. You could argue two potential reasons for this: 1. This script removes only AppX packages. OneDrive is an *.msi package 2. OneDrive is something they reinstall if you remove it, so they really are cramming it down your throat. They wouldn't include it in any debloat script.
- trinix912 2y agoThis just removes the APPX packages but keeps all other bloat (system-wide telemetry and such).

- LinuxBender 2y agoAnother script to consider that has been around a while and has a number of contributors [1]. that does remove telemetry and optionally many other things. Always back up your registry and systems before using such scripts. [1] - https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat
- nightshift1 2y agoThere are indeed many other alternatives that are more complete, but they always bundle or make you download an opaque binary file.
- LinuxBender 2y agoThe script I linked is a collection of PowerShell, .bat and .reg files unless something changed recently.
