What the script does

See the change before you run anything

Many debloat pages push giant scripts that change too much at once. This version focuses on selected built-in apps so users can remove only what they actually do not want.

Why it works

Why this command can solve the Windows issue you searched for

Useful when cleaning a fresh Windows install, reducing clutter, or removing bundled apps that are never used.

Check after running

Confirm the result in Windows instead of guessing

After you run the command, verify the related Windows setting or workflow instead of assuming every change applied exactly as expected. A quick manual check helps you catch edition differences, permissions issues, or app-specific behavior.

Before you run it

Review the notes and choose only the options you actually need

Removing built-in apps can affect user workflows later. Some apps may return with major Windows updates or require Microsoft Store reinstall steps.

Do this exactly

Open PowerShell the right way, paste the command, and then verify the result

  1. Choose the options on this page until the command preview matches what you want to change.
  2. Click Copy command so you do not have to select the text manually.
  3. Press Start, type PowerShell or Terminal, and open it. Use Run as administrator if the page warns that machine-wide or system changes need it.
  4. Paste the copied command into PowerShell. You can usually right-click once or press Ctrl+V.
  5. Press Enter and wait for the command to finish. Read any message shown in the window instead of closing it immediately.
  6. Open the matching Windows setting or app afterward and confirm the change really happened.

How to use

  1. Open the app dropdown and select one or more built-in apps.
  2. Choose whether to remove provisioned packages too.
  3. Copy the PowerShell command.
  4. Run it in PowerShell and review which packages were found on the PC.

FAQ

Questions about PowerShell Debloat Script for Windows Default Apps

Can I remove multiple apps at once?

Yes. The builder supports multiple package selections and generates a command for the chosen supported apps.

Is this safer than a full debloat script?

It can be easier to review because it targets only the apps you select instead of changing many Windows settings at once.
