powershell debloat

The PowerShell debloat tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about using PowerShell scripts to remove unwanted Windows components, reduce telemetry, and regain control over the operating system. A prominent example is the Chris Titus WinUtil, a free, open-source tool launched via a single PowerShell command that strips out bloatware, adjusts privacy settings, and modifies update behavior. These scripts have become popular as a community-driven response to the increasing amount of pre-installed software and telemetry in Windows 11. Topics include script usage, safety considerations, and comparisons between different debloating methods. The tag reflects a practical, hands-on approach to customizing Windows for performance and privacy.
