Windows 11 Safe Debloat

A security-focused Windows 11 debloating script that removes unnecessary bloatware while preserving system integrity, Windows Defender, and critical Windows Update functionality.

Security First Approach

What It Removes

  • Non-essential Microsoft Store apps (News, Weather, etc.)
  • Unnecessary pre-installed applications
  • Optional features like Internet Explorer
  • Sponsored content and suggestions
  • Non-critical background services
  • Tablet PC components (if not needed)

What it maintains:

  • Windows Defender and security components
  • Windows Update functionality
  • Keeps system serviceability intact
  • Creates System Restore points
  • Logs all operations for review
  • Verifies system integrity after modifications

📋 Prerequisites

  • Windows 11 (any edition)
  • Administrator privileges
  • PowerShell 5.1 or later

Usage

  1. Download safe-debloat.ps1
  2. Right-click and select "Run with PowerShell"
  3. If prompted, enter Y to confirm execution
  4. Wait for the script to complete
  5. Restart your computer
# Or run from PowerShell Admin prompt:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
.\safe-debloat.ps1

Logging

The script creates detailed logs at: %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\DebloatLog_[DateTime].txt

Post-Installation Verification

After running the script and restarting:

  1. Verify Windows Security is functioning
  2. Check Windows Update is working
  3. Review the log file for any warnings
