SOURCES, REFERENCES & IMPORTANT NOTICES

We based our tool on Chris Titus Tech’s GitHub PowerShell Scripts: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/win10script as of Sept 1, 2021. Our tool is a mainly a front-end for the source scripts to make things easier to choose the many of 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 ‘EZDebloater’ tab page as main front of the program now. It allows you to run common PowerShell scripts to debloat Windows 10. There are several restore scripts you can choose from after if you choose. Some buttons in the ‘EZDebloater’ tab page has ToolTips (message popups) for more information.

Each button has a script you can see to modify if you want before running.

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 are presets: Default and Minimum in the Options menu. You can choose a preset first and add your own choices. 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.

UPDATE 1.1

The “Windows Apps” tab now has all the choices for debloating all 45+ Windows apps. Select to remove them or select to ‘LeaveAlone’ (stay on your computer).

Directly Running

You can directly run the PowerShell script from the program after creating your script. Click the ‘Run Powershell’ button after you fill in the radiobutton choices and click the ‘Output PowerShell’ button. The “Run PowerShell” button creates a PowerShell script called ‘runpsscript.ps1’ in the same directory and runs it.

Manual Running

OR save the PowerShell script as whatever you wish in the same directory with the other files and then run it using the following commands.

But first, launch PowerShell (Run as administrator) and navigate to where your script is.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
./YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME.ps1

YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME is the name of the PowerShell script you just saved.
