Debloat Windows 11

PCVGS

This thread is about debloating & removing Windows 11 nonsense. One of the various reasons that people are put off from Microsoft. In this thread, we will discuss the methods ranging from Programs, Powershell Commands and even debloated ISO's available.

What is covered here:

Method 1: O&O ShutUp10++

This isn't so much deleting bloatware but this is to remove a lot of the telemetry data. All the intrusive stuff Microsoft has added to the OS that they use to collect your data to obviously sell for marketing purposes or for authority needs.

Step 1: Download and Run O&O Shut Up

Open your browser and go over to:

https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

OOSU10.exe
2MB

Download it
Run it (It is portable and does not require to install it).

Step 2: Using it

This part is easy as its rather all done for you. You can simply go to Actions and click Apply only recommended settings. A popup will come up asking if you want to create a system restore point to which you will want to say yes to. Reason being is that if there are any issues, you can revert back.

Method 4 - Windows 11 IoT LTSC

Info copy pasted from google cause too lazy:

Windows 11 LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) is a specialized version of Windows 11 designed for mission-critical systems and dedicated devices that require long-term stability and minimal changes, such as medical equipment, ATMs, point-of-sale systems, and industrial controls.

This edition focuses on stability by receiving only security updates and bug fixes, with feature updates occurring approximately every three years.

It excludes components like the Microsoft Store, Microsoft Edge, and AI features such as Copilot, resulting in a leaner, more predictable system.

The user interface is based on the classic design, lacking modern UI elements and bloatware, and includes legacy system apps like the older versions of Paint and Snipping Tool.

It also features enhanced security, comprehensive device and app management, and support for technologies like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth LE audio for assistive devices.

Steps:

Download ISO

Move to Ventoy USB or use Rufus
Boot into USB
Install Windows As Normal
