The Windows 10 Debloater is actually a collection of PowerShell scripts, so to use it, you will need to open an elevated PowerShell session. Once the download completes, extract the ZIP file’s contents and save them to the system’s hard disk. To use Windows 10 Debloater, go to the GitHub link provided earlier, click the Download Code button, and choose the option to download the code as a ZIP file, as shown in the next figure. The utility also comes with a “use it at your own risk” warning, but I haven’t personally had any bad experiences with it. Before I beginīefore I show you how the Windows 10 Debloater works, I need to mention that this utility should only be used on clean Windows 10 installations (to avoid accidentally removing anything important).

You can find this utility, which is appropriately named Windows 10 Debloater, at this link. There is a free utility on GitHub that can do it for you. The good news is that you don’t have to worry about manually cleaning up all of the bloatware. Even though this edition is specifically geared toward business environments, the operating system is preloaded with an app for the Xbox console and other potentially unwanted software. This is a clean installation of Windows 10 Enterprise Edition. To see what I mean, take a look at the figure below. Today, though, this is no longer the case. One of my single biggest pet peeves about the Windows 10 operating system has always been how Windows installations are “enhanced” with additional software - a nice way of saying “bloatware.” At one time, you only had to deal with this problem if you purchased a new computer that came preloaded with Windows, and the solution was to perform a clean install.
