Win11Debloat
Win11Debloat is a simple, easy to use and lightweight powershell script that can remove pre-installed Windows bloatware apps, disable telemetry and declutter the experience by disabling or removing intrusive interface elements, ads and more. No need to painstakingly go through all the settings yourself, or remove apps one by one. Win11Debloat makes the process quick and easy!
You can pick and choose exactly which modifications you want the script to make, or use the default settings. If you are unhappy with any of the changes you can easily revert them by using the registry files that are included in the ‘Regfiles’ folder. All of the apps that are removed can be reinstalled from the Microsoft store.

Число программ для настройки и очистки или «твикеров» Windows исчисляется десятками, о многих о них уже было написано на сайте, например, в статье Лучшие программы для настройки Windows 10.
В этом кратком обзоре о ещё одной такой программе — Windows 11 Debloater и её же варианте для предыдущей версии ОС — Windows 10 Debloater, функциях и использовании.
Использование Windows 11 Debloater и Windows 10 Debloater
На сайте разработчика представлены две версии Windows Debloater — для Windows 11 и Windows 10, обе имеют русский язык интерфейса и очень похожи по функциям, за исключением отдельных пунктов, применимых лишь к одной из версий системы. Скачать каждую из версий можно с официального сайта:
- Windows 11 Debloater
- Windows 10 Debloater
После запуска язык интерфейса будет выбран автоматически, если потребуется его изменить — используйте пункт «Language» в главном меню программы. Как и для других подобных инструментов, перед началом использования рекомендую создать точку восстановления системы.
Интерфейс программы разбит на несколько вкладок, на каждой из которых доступны те или иные настройки или действия. В описании далее — Windows 11 Debloater, но и в версии для Windows 10 всё аналогично.
- EZ Debloater — основные действия по отключению функций и элементов Windows или их включению. Здесь же производится запуск применения выбранных базовых настроек с помощью кнопки «Запустить скрипт».
- Advanced Debloater — отключение некоторых системных функций с предустановленными профилями, оптимизированных для ПК, ноутбука, минимального использования ресурсов или виртуальной машины.
- 3-я сторона — установка и удаление популярных сторонних программ.
- Приложения Windows — установка и удаление встроенных приложений Windows 11/10.
- Пользовательский интерфейс и персонализация — настройка поведения элементов пользовательского интерфейса, скрытие и показ системных значков, расположения панели задач и другие. Пункты на английском языке, но если задержать указатель мыши, появится всплывающая подсказка с описанием на русском (актуально и для других разделов программы).
- Конфиденциальность и Телеметрия — отключение или включение соответствующих функций Windows.
- Один диск — пункт для удаления или установки OneDrive.
- Система — настройки системных функций, таких как сетевое обнаружение, гибернация, планы электропитания, показ или скрытие кодов BSoD, автоматическая очистка диска и другие.
- Стартовое меню — настройки меню Пуск, в частности: показ или скрытие недавно установленных приложений, запуск PowerShell от имени администратора из меню Пуск.
- UWP-приложения — отключение или включение автозагрузки встроенных UWP-приложений Teams и Cortana.
- Игры — пара настроек, имеющих отношение к играм: подсказки Xbox и планирование GPU.
- Защитник и безопасность — настройки функций защиты Microsoft Defender, без полного отключения. Если требуется, вы можете полностью отключить Microsoft Defender другими способами.
- Контекстное меню — скрытие и показ стандартных пунктов в контекстном меню Windows.
- Другой — другие параметры, в частности — размер панели задач и изменение некоторых других её параметров.
Чтобы применить настройки, сделанные во всех вкладках, кроме первой, перейдите на вкладку «Выход» и нажмите кнопку «Вывод PowerShell».
Это выведет скрипт PowerShell, выполняющий все запрошенные операции, который можно либо сохранить на компьютере, либо запустить прямо с этой вкладки.
Подводя итог:
- Windows 11 Debloater и Windows 10 Debloater — интересный продукт, есть полезные настройки, которые часто востребованы.
- Набор доступных настроек кажется не полным: многие другие общеизвестные и часто используемые опции можно было бы добавить в уже имеющиеся категории (к тому же механизм их применения тот же), но по какой-то причине они отсутствуют.
- Функция вывода всех примененных действий в свой скрипт PowerShell — хорошо и может быть полезным для тех, кто постоянно использует собственный набор твиков системы.

SOURCES, REFERENCES & IMPORTANT NOTICES
We based our tool on Chris Titus Tech’s GitHub PowerShell Scripts: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/win10script as of Dec 12, 2021 and farag2’s Sophia Script for Windows: https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows as of Jan 7, 2024. Our tool is a mainly a front-end for the source scripts to make things easier to choose the many options. We add our own touches. Check updates for additions.
NOTICE: This program only edits and reads from TEXT files. Everything is done through text files so you can modify every option and function data.
README
There is a “EZ Debloater” tab page as main front of the program. It allows you to run common PowerShell scripts to debloat Windows 10. There are several restore/undo scripts you can choose from after if you choose. Some buttons in the “EZ Debloater” tab page has ToolTips (message popups) for more information.
Each button has a script you can see to modify if you want before running.
There is a “Advanced Debloater” tab page to basic fine-tuning debloating from 4 presets. There is also a “Undo All” to reset back to defaults. You can “See Script” to see your selections.
The other tabs allows you to create a PowerShell script file that you can run to finely tweak/debloat Windows 10. A restore point is created in the beginning so you can safely use this tool.
The options are arranged in different tabs and there is a preset “Debloat Preset” in the “Options” menu. You can choose a preset first and add your own choices. There is a “Windows Default Preset” to revert back to original Windows Default settings. You can also create your own radiobutton presets and share. There is also a “Opposite” menu choice to select the alternate radiobutton choices. This is good to revert the changes in a script to run.
In “Normal” mode, the “EZ Debloater” textbox that shows the script summarized. Switch to “Edit” mode to see the full PowerShell script.
In “Edit” mode for “Advanced Debloater“, you get a “RE” button beside each checkbox selection to “Read/Edit” the PowerShell script for each checkbox.
Also in “Edit” mode for “Fine-Tuning Debloater“, you can have a button beside each radiobutton (labelled with a first single letter of the radiobutton) to “Read/Edit” the PowerShell script for each radiobutton.
