Win11Debloat is a command-line utility designed to automate the configuration, privacy hardening, and maintenance of Windows environments. It functions as a centralized tool for streamlining the operating system by removing pre-installed software, disabling telemetry and diagnostic tracking, and adjusting system settings to enhance performance and user privacy.
The project distinguishes itself through its support for declarative configuration profiles and audit-mode provisioning, which allow administrators to define and enforce consistent system states across multiple machines. Users can interact with the tool through an intuitive terminal-based menu or utilize command-line arguments for automated, non-interactive deployments. It also provides granular control over interface elements, such as taskbar and start menu layouts, ensuring that environment adjustments can be standardized for individual user accounts or entire organizations.
Beyond basic cleanup, the tool integrates registry-based management and transactional state restoration to ensure that modifications are applied safely. It includes built-in support for creating system restore points and registry backups, providing a mechanism to revert changes or reinstall previously removed components if necessary. The entire suite is powered by PowerShell scripts that interface directly with system APIs to manage application lifecycles and environment configurations.
