Improve Windows 11 Performance using Debloat Tool

by

Let’s talk about how to Improve Windows 11 Performance using Debloat Tool. The Debloat tool cleans unnecessary junk files from your system and disables and uninstall applications. If you have an old PC with Windows 11, using it is recommended.

If you follow a clean installation process, Windows 11 still have many software/Bloatware from OEMs. There are many services continuously running in the background. Those background applications were wasting system resources. These things eat up the battery life (for Laptops) and collect usage data/telemetry information.

There is no option to shut them down or turn them off. Here in this post, we will try debloating on a PC to eliminate those unnecessary applications. Windows 11 will get lean after removing unwanted, Bloatware or unnecessary applications. This process is recommended to users to debloat Windows 11 to improve PC performance.

I tried to debloat on my Windows 11 PC and found a successful result without any bottlenecks. The process is also helpful in removing the bloat load of unnecessary packages that consume unnecessary system space and waste system resources.

The second thing to do is Uninstall OneDrive if you are not using it on Windows PC. I am uninstalling Microsoft OneDrive will no longer pop up in the Start-up windows or will not ask for backup at random times. It will take a few minutes to complete the process.

Now the final option is here to complete the process in Windows 11. Debloat Option is basically used to remove unnecessary applications and unwanted packages. There are three options available to debloat the windows 11 such as:

  • Customize Block List
  • Remove all Bloatware
  • Remove Bloatware with a custom Blocklist

I suggest not using the Remove all Bloatware option, remove all Bloatware at a time because the list is configured for Windows 10. So recommended to use Customize Block List instead of Remove all Bloatware.

The next window will appear as Customize Allow List & Block List. There is a list of applications that appear, choose the applications wisely and tick them to remove them from your device. Select particular applications which you won’t use. And click on Save Custom Allowlist and Blocklist to custom-lists.ps1.

Remove Bloatware with Custom Blocklist on Windows 11

After completing the above process, now click on Remove Bloatware with Custom Blocklist to continue the process. This process will take some time to complete, so keep patience and wait till the completion of the process.
