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 1, 2023. 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.

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 Windows Default setttings. 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 and in the other tabs the square “Read/Edit” button is missing to clean up the interface. Switch to “Edit” Mode to see the full PowerShell script in “EZ Debloater” tab and in the other tabs gain back the “Read/Edit” button beside each radiobutton to see the PowerShell script for each radiobutton.
