In our tutorial on how to speed up Windows 10,


we recommended users to debloat Windows 10
to significantly improve the performance. In the
same vein, we have come up with another
detailed guide on how to debloat Windows 11
from resource-hogging services and apps. While
Windows 11 has relatively less bloatware than
Windows 10, every bit of optimization helps.
Now, if you have an older PC and want a
performance boost, learn how to debloat

Here, we are going to use Windows10Debloater, a


for
Arjun Sha
debloating Windows 10. I tested this script on my
Windows 11 computer running the stable build,
and it worked successfully without any issue.
The program was also able to remove a boatload
of unnecessary packages that were eating up the
resources.
Upanishad
Sure, the script has not added some Windows Sharma

11-centric changes like cleaning up the Start


menu, removing stubs, etc., but these features
should be added in the next update, hopefully.
So, for now, let’s dive in and learn how to
debloat Windows 11 from unnecessary junk.

While the script is tried and tested, I would
suggest you proceed with caution as it may
break things. I have added caveats where to
tread carefully in the steps below, so follow the
process without fail. If you have an older
computer and want to speed up Windows 11, this
may help you a lot. But again, do it at your own Arjun Sha
risk.

1. First, press the Windows key once and type


“ ” in the Windows search bar. From
the search results, click on the “
” option on the right pane.

2. Next, and paste it


into the PowerShell window. After that, hit Enter.
It will automatically download the Windows 11
debloater script from the internet and launch
the program within a few seconds. The
command will also create a System Restore
Point so you can easily move back to a working
build in case anything goes wrong after
performing any actions.

3. After executing the command,


Windows10Debloater will open up. Here, first o�,
I would suggest you click on “ ” if
you don’t use Microsoft’s voice assistant. This
will take a second and completely remove the
service from the background.

4. Next, go ahead and click on “


” if you don’t use it on your Windows
PC. Well, OneDrive will no longer pop up on
startup, and you won’t see random backup
prompts anymore.

5. After that, click on “ “.


This is an important step and will stop all kinds
of background tracking services run by Microsoft.
After this operation, you will find your PC’s
resources have freed up considerably. Also, from
a privacy perspective, you must perform this
action to stop any kind of data harvesting.

6. Finally, coming to debloating Windows 11 from


unnecessary apps and packages. I would not
suggest you remove all bloatware at once as the
list is configured for Windows 10. Instead, click

on “ “.

7. Here, and tick the apps and


packages you want to remove.

For example, I found out the list was removing


Microsoft Store, Microsoft Photos, Paint, Edge,
Calculator, and other essential apps. So I
unticked them. Similarly, if you don’t use your
Windows PC for gaming, you can tick Xbox and
other related services. Basically, if you are
unsure about any package, keep it unchecked to
be on the safe side. Finally, click the “Save
custom….” at the bottom. Note that ticking an
app will remove it and unticking will keep the
app as it is.

8. Now, click the “


” button. This process will take
some time, so keep patience. After it’s done,
restart your PC, and you will find that Windows
11 has been debloated.

9. Note that you might find Instagram, Facebook,


etc. on the Start menu even after debloating. It’s
because they are
and not an existing app on the system. In that
case, you will have to right-click on the stubs
and uninstall them right away. You can find more
information from our guide on how to customize
the Start menu on Windows 11. We have also
compiled an article on how to remove items
from the Recommended section in the Windows
11 Start Menu.

So that is how you can remove all kinds of junk


that come pre-installed with Windows 11. Not
just that, you can also disable all Telemetry
services that take up a huge amount of
resources in the background. Keep in mind,
these services and apps are not temporarily
o�oaded but disabled through Registry. So in
the future, it’s unlikely these services will start
again automatically. Anyway, that is all from us.
