This goes over debloating and slimming down Windows 10 and 11 so you get maximum performance from your PC.

I made a guide going over the debloat process two years ago https://christitus.com/debloat-windows-10/ - The guide has evolved and the github project I was using has also improved. I’ve also made a newer post going over the all the changes @ https://christitus.com/windows-tool

April 2022 Update

• Added new options to get Windows 10/7 Options in Windows 11
• Service optimizations to reduce process count
• Added more tweak settings and misc. fixes
• GUI Redesign
• new Github https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

New command!

iwr -useb https://christitus.com/win | iex

July 2021 Update

If you are coming here from the YouTube video I have taken all the scripts below and a system admin script I used a lot in the past to make a streamlined debloat script. This script will optimize Windows and can be run multiple times if you have an update ruin all the optimizations. I have also made it very easy to launch. Here is the source files: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/win10script

If you want to just run this on any system, you can easily copy and paste this into a Admin Powershell prompt and watch it do everything for you. It does have two prompts based on user feedback. Let me know what you think below!

OLD PROJECT - DEPRECATED

What this script can do

• Installs any program listed that you click on using WinGet
• Removed Telemetry
• Disables Cortana
• Deletes various schedules tasks that rebloat the system
• Fixes problems that other scripts causes (lock screen and personalization options restricted)

Based on User feedback Microsoft Store and Windows Defender is no longer touched.

This restore script pops up a GUI that lets you restore what you want to FACTORY DEFAULTS!

Current Lineup:

• Cortana
• Tray Icons
• Action Center

Old Methods from Prior Videos that I no longer use

The project I use has been developed for many years now and is extremely good. Here is the source github project I use:
https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater

This is a new project that was brought to my attention, but has quickly made a name for itself. It works very well and is typically more up to date than the above project.

Optimal Way to Use this Tool

I recommend running this tool under the following conditions:

• Before User Profile is Created
• Empty Desktop and Downloads (Past versions has deleted files from Desktop and Downloads)
• After installing New Feature Updates

Recommended Options:

• Disable Cortana
• Uninstall OneDrive
• Run Essential Tweaks

I generally always enable Dark Mode and Install 3.5 .NET but that is entirely my personal preference.
