That's definetly a nice script! It would be nice if it could be started as in interactive mode, so it would ask for every program to be installed as someone may never use vlc or irfan or chocolatey.
That fact that he said "if youre watching this video 6 months from now" and i am watching this video after 6 months of this being uploaded is like some kind of prophecy..
@@RoastBeefSandwich Seconded. This aio stuff is fine for new systems, but for an established box that needs a pick-me-up you want something fully modular.
hello Chris i live in new Plymouth, New Zealand and i have a slow laptop for ever slow. But Now i have used your Debloat Windows 10 program my slow laptop has turned into a speeding freight train THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP WITH THE Debloat program
I tend to prefer to install software myself. Sometime for example, I have a stable older version of a software, and I keep a copy of a dowloaded exe file to re install from, if and when needed, and I prefer to choose when I update the software to the newest version, if at all. But the newest script at this time, allows you to choose if and what you install, so that’s cool.
I have an older system, (former Government server, Precision 690!) thought I had tweaked to the max, but thanks!! This keeps even more of my 24 GB of RAM free!! And leaves even more of my dual Quad Core processors for my important tasks, and not for Microsoft's idea of important! Subbed, looking forward to exploring more of your content! And, I've been practically pulling what little remains of my hair out, trying to get all 64 GB of my RAM recognized by Windows, to no avail...so 24 is pale in comparison to the potential. LOL
Questions : (i) - Does it removes preinstalled user software eg. Chrome, or any particular software that I downloaded from internet. (ii) - Is it just made to run at a clean boot only or I can run it anytime I want even on older PC that has many preinstalled software. Suggestions : (i) - Please make an option to ask whether you want to remove OneDrive or not because I think many Windows user doesn't use it anyway. (ii) - Also make a change in the script so that it automatically removes indexing from subfolders of C:\ as it makes the computer faster. Thanks for the effort you put into making this, and yes it is indeed necessary as Windows 10 is a big bloated OS which unfortunately many have to use.
Worth mentioning that you'll find battery life on a laptop extended by at least 50% or more, and you won't have to endure the fan spinning up all the effing time too - bliss. This is a major benefit, even more so for an old laptop with a tired battery. You get nag popups from Windoze at every boot though.
What a terrific command. Thanks so much. I couldn't believe how much dross was being ripped out of my laptop - it's still painfully slow but it is not a dead stick like it was before following your advice.
I wrote a script just to fix the task bar pinning and default program changes that happen after EVERY update, but it's been annoying to maintain. This looks like a good alternative; thank you!
Why don't they understand that THIS is how we users want a good old OS to behave like. No bloat, no unnecesary background processes, no trash apps, no unnecesary RAM consuption. Just a lean, light, ready to get you where you wanna go, simple OS. They keep on missing on these core concetps version after version after W7.
VLC isn't only a media player, it also works perfectly as a video converter (works with a wide range of formats that I can't name off the top of my head).
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the actual script discussed in this video? (Any links I have tried are redirected to the latest script) For learning purposes I am revising the development of the scripts, so it would be useful to have the actual script discussed in particular videos.
1 of 4 Someone at GitHub showed me how to do this recently. I can’t give a simple link to the answers as that seems to make the TH-cam comment Police Bot delete the comment.
2 of 4- Go to Chris's Windows 10 page at that site where he and others develop their coding ( the bot keeps deleting my post when I give the name of the site - it starts with G and ends in B )
I've used your de-bloat script before and it was like magic, but perhaps a bit too aggressive, so it's really important to give the user the option of choosing which stuff to remove. I have 2 questions. 1 will this clash with mcafee? 2 will I have to repeat when windows does an update? Many thanks for your work.
This seems like a very fast and safe way to minimize Win10 to a reasonable and functional level. It's very impressive this has all been consolidated into one command. I used O&O's Shutup10 and Appbuster programs to adjust Win10, so I could see exactly what was being changed, but if you're not picky, this will do everything at once. It's quite amazing 👍
Should Ask to remove or not Office Should Ask to Remove or not Action Center Should ask to install or not Java and every others program the keyword here is ASK whatever you propose. Just make the script to ask.
I checked out your website and it's great that you've updated the script with a GUI so that we can choose which programs to install. No point in debloating by installing programs that you or your partners deem useful.
I did one of your debloats on windows 10 last year. It removed my ability to download apps from the microsoft store. Later I realised that I need apps from the microsoft store. It took me ages to get my windows 10 back to how it was before. Ended up having to re install windows
Feature Request - Please can you add user intervention for the programs that automatically install, like what you did with adobe, browser etc Secondly I had to restart my PC to enable some stuff that didn't start straight away, so an option to restart the PC once the script has completed. Thanks
Hi Chris, Thank you for all the work you do to make Windows 10 more tolerable. Just a note that when I get to the form to install, the form is to large for one of my laptops and I am unable to seethe bottom buttons. I can not seem to scroll the form down.
1 of 5 Hi. This is a long time problem, I know the fix, but it’s always difficult getting info across here as the TH-cam Police Bot deletes a lot of things by mistake currently.
4 of 5 You will need to look at my post in issue number 301 “This app is too large and there is no way to scroll or resize it” I will give my user name at GitHub, ( also used in a lot of other places ) , in the post 5, if the Bot lets me EDIT!!

Thanks Chris! From 202 my running processes came down to 127 and 1% utilization. This is with an animated wallpaper. Imma watch more of your vids. More power .
So, I did this and now my "your phone" app is blocked by admin. Any idea how I fix this? It wasn't entirely clear that your instructions would block this app.
What I'd like to see is a checkbox list of what's being removed so I can actually take a check out or put it check in of something that if I do or don't want
As a power user, I'd like to suggest an addition. Like the two prompts for Adobe Reader and Brave browser, I'd like to see a single prompt asking if you want to install the apps. Either I have one or more of them installed or rather opt out of installing them. Would be nice to have that choice.
I don't know whether it's possible or not, but it would be amazing if you could add an option of deactivating all window's processes and services which are not necessary to run game. Just leave the critically necessary.
I am a bit confused. Does the script just "toggles off" all the privacy settings or does it actually disables it(like running something behind the scene to freeze it) and/or does it removes the telemetry components? Also, why did you decide to add applications to it? I don't mind stuff like vlc and all since they're opensource but why is installing application part of a "windows de-bloat" script in the first place? Would really appreciate your answer. Thank you (:
This is a non-intrusive script so it toggles them off when it comes to privacy. It does however remove some telemetry and most schedule tasks that will cause problems. I wanted to be an all-in-one script so that's why I opted to install programs as well. However based on the feedback I'll definitely add more interactive to it and give users the choice.
I've been out of the tech side of this stuff for so long I honestly feel lost. So old school it's sad....... I would love to trust this thing but I would like to have a lot more points that asked if I want to apply something or not. I have 199 processes running on my machine right now and I've looked at them a hundred times and just don't trust myself to clean that up. 6 instances of this 5 instances of that running seems crazy.
Chocolatey lets you install programs through the command line. VLC is a video player. Notepad++ is a very versatile text editor. These are all very popular choices, I wouldn't call them "strange programs" when asking for an option.
Good sign's I'm gonna like this channel, Prefers MPC to VLC and Brave is also (currently) my Browser of choice. I have to add, I haven't tried VLC for many many years, it may be better now. I think I couldn't disagree with anything said in this video. With VLC I remember orange traffic cones and mega codex pack (Where I 1st discovered MPC) for some reason. im kind looking forward to trying VLC now that I remember it. thanks
a comment and a suggestion I remember having a DOS script set up on a 3 1/2" floppy when I would set up a customers or my own computer that would do a full install minus common complained about bloats and also had it auto edit settings during the install. took an extra 5 minutes of install, but it would be 50-150% faster from boot up to running things such as games and programs. my benchmarks were always well above a "standard" install. Windows does so much that actually hinders performance and not just direct computer things, but also how well/fast it would communicate with the internet. now for the suggestion. set up a script creator that has the base script set up then people can pick and choose the things added and/or removed and it will create a script that can be copy and pasted, or a small individualized download to be ran. all questions can be pre answered, and they can have it for later to do another PC, or just not have to deal with prompts or things they don't want to have changed. I've seen a few other web pages make script editors and creators that would make this so much more refined.
I am not so keen on the program install either. But Chris responded to a lot of comments on this issue and now the script calls up a GUI with buttons - most things only get installed if you want them to, and click the appropriate button. ( This video is several versions out of date )
@@ChrisTitusTech Maybe once all the installs are over, give a prompt in shell asking "If there are other software you'd like to be installed, please enter their names here, chocolatey will install them if they are found."?
I *would* love to uninstall OneDrive, if you could show me the command to do that. I've been chained to Google Drive, and the constant interference from OneDrive while you're working in 365 drives me round the bend.
Never blindly run a script like this, ypu never know what someone has added. Im not saying that this was malicious, but it could be. This would be better as a step by step tutorial suggesting each removal and giving reasons to remove each.
I've done one of these before a while back & it turned my Windows key into a bulk one. Like what you would fine in an office all computers with one admin. Edit to say I ended up reformatting & installing a fresh copy of Windows.
One quick question, do I only need to run this command and debloat once after every windows 10 update? or every boot ? I'm kinda new with this stuff anyways thanks for the video!
We need an explanation for all the consequenses of running this tool. What is going to stop working. What will break. What improvements wil we see. I ran this tool and it did all sorts of borked things to my system. I’d like to know the consequences of each change. For instance, removing Cortana seems to completely stop the actually helpful Search functions that remember software and tools that exist on the system, and what you’ve used recently. This tool seems to be for people who just want to be totally in control. Which I get, but most of us don’t want to have to administer a system to that level. If I wanted that, I’d use Linux and put up with its substandard systems for printing, monitors and so on.
Bro, can you do one for macOS please. I had a lot of luck using boot camp with Windows but I have a lot of background apps on macOS and I trust your work!
Great update with GUI, However, I would recommend keeping option for removing office and store. I mean, don't remove it in essential settings but keep button for removing it.
Always.... as usual a superb vid... THX for the script... and more so "how to do that! Brave Browser is the TOP of the Heap... in security and I LIKE IT !
No, do not run any script from some random person on the internet. How do you know you can trust them? By all means inspect the script to see if you can learn anything from it, but be very very careful.
in short, a good idea, but the script is no longer a debloat if it requires the installation of other software... but that's okay! very good idea on your part for the blow! I'm thinking of using it when I switch my old pc to windows 10 or 11....
at first i though it was like that but i still ran the script anyways for the uninstall and privacy purposes but after using the apps that is installed with it, its actually really useful and people should use apps like notepad++ and chocolatery. it uninstalls so much more than it installs

I wish it wouldnt install extra programs except shutup10 or atleast ask for every single program
You are awesome
And dont remove the Action Centre
@@fred-youtube I just did that. Also, Action Center can go die in a fire. I hate it. If I get enough comments about it, I'll make it a toggle though.
I would add an option to remove Edge too, if you uninstall it with control panel it removes new edge but guves you back the old edge
Suggestions:
Make different levels of the script like:
[Low] (only remove a few things)
[Medium] (for most people) (default)
[High] (removes an extreme amount of things)
I also recommend adding decisions to the script like:
Do I want to install xy software?
Do I want to uninstall xy software?
I dig it, I'll start coding different runs.

Chris: uses Bing search
also Chris: "And you'll see this is actually one of the top results on Google."
I went with the Basic Essentials debloat, Only 62 Processes running, Thank You!
I've been out of the tech side of this stuff for so long I honestly feel lost. So old school it's sad....... I would love to trust this thing but I would like to have a lot more points that asked if I want to apply something or not. I have 199 processes running on my machine right now and I've looked at them a hundred times and just don't trust myself to clean that up. 6 instances of this 5 instances of that running seems crazy.
And what if I want to get rid of telemetry, Cortana and Edge WITHOUT installing a lot of strange programs you promote here and I don't want on my PC?
Chocolatey lets you install programs through the command line. VLC is a video player. Notepad++ is a very versatile text editor. These are all very popular choices, I wouldn't call them "strange programs" when asking for an option.
Good sign's I'm gonna like this channel, Prefers MPC to VLC and Brave is also (currently) my Browser of choice. I have to add, I haven't tried VLC for many many years, it may be better now. I think I couldn't disagree with anything said in this video.
With VLC I remember orange traffic cones and mega codex pack (Where I 1st discovered MPC) for some reason. im kind looking forward to trying VLC now that I remember it. thanks
I always come back to this video when I fresh install W10. Top!
If i have one of the programs already installed in my pc (for example notepad ++) ,it will try to install the program again?
No it shouldn't, as it would find it in the repository. I use chocolatey and don't remember it installing a second copy.
@@donday6753 Thank you
a comment and a suggestion
I remember having a DOS script set up on a 3 1/2" floppy when I would set up a customers or my own computer that would do a full install minus common complained about bloats and also had it auto edit settings during the install. took an extra 5 minutes of install, but it would be 50-150% faster from boot up to running things such as games and programs. my benchmarks were always well above a "standard" install. Windows does so much that actually hinders performance and not just direct computer things, but also how well/fast it would communicate with the internet.
now for the suggestion. set up a script creator that has the base script set up then people can pick and choose the things added and/or removed and it will create a script that can be copy and pasted, or a small individualized download to be ran. all questions can be pre answered, and they can have it for later to do another PC, or just not have to deal with prompts or things they don't want to have changed. I've seen a few other web pages make script editors and creators that would make this so much more refined.
not sure why you would put program installs into a debloater, no matter how good you think they are.
I am not so keen on the program install either.
But Chris responded to a lot of comments on this issue and now the script calls up a GUI with buttons - most things only get installed if you want them to, and click the appropriate button.
( This video is several versions out of date )
This is amazing....thank you.....
Is there a way to add additional programs to be install at the same time??
Yes, I'm trying to think of a good way to do this from the start. It is easy to do though, it is just a matter of the user interaction.
@@ChrisTitusTech Maybe once all the installs are over, give a prompt in shell asking "If there are other software you'd like to be installed, please enter their names here, chocolatey will install them if they are found."?
It installs chocolatey . So you can fire up powershell and install with chocolatey package manager
I *would* love to uninstall OneDrive, if you could show me the command to do that. I've been chained to Google Drive, and the constant interference from OneDrive while you're working in 365 drives me round the bend.
Thank you so much for the script Sir Chris.
A script to remove bloatware ... that installs other bloatware like Chocolatry, Java, etc 😳
Candy Crush and Cortana are not equivalent to Chocolatey and Java.
Java is not bloatware, most software needs it to run, for example Minecraft java edition
@@ahmadyogi1340 Minecraft doesn't require java to run Minecraft already installs it in an isolated folder
Hey man, love the idea about deep tweaks. I want to know if you have updated these tweaks to the latest version?
Never blindly run a script like this, ypu never know what someone has added. Im not saying that this was malicious, but it could be. This would be better as a step by step tutorial suggesting each removal and giving reasons to remove each.
It's pretty much an open source software... And it's your choice if you want to remove the Apps.
I love it🔥
Thanks Chris for making it easy. I’ll take your recommendations for the installed apps. We’ll see how it works on a 5 yr old Surface pro i7.
I've done one of these before a while back & it turned my Windows key into a bulk one. Like what you would fine in an office all computers with one admin.
Edit to say I ended up reformatting & installing a fresh copy of Windows.
One quick question, do I only need to run this command and debloat once after every windows 10 update? or every boot ? I'm kinda new with this stuff anyways thanks for the video!
You can do never or every update. But not every boot.
This will help games run better without any hitches or frametimes.
Thank you so much, cheers from down under Australia
Speed up Windows 10.
Here is my script.... with added software.
Well you still need software so... unless you'd like command line windows only?
@@donday6753 What if I don't want Notepad++ or VLC?
@@Jimmy_Jones best i can do is notepad and windows media player
Spotify isn't bloat to me. I've got to reinstall it now. Thanks for the rest though.
We need an explanation for all the consequenses of running this tool. What is going to stop working. What will break. What improvements wil we see. I ran this tool and it did all sorts of borked things to my system. I’d like to know the consequences of each change. For instance, removing Cortana seems to completely stop the actually helpful Search functions that remember software and tools that exist on the system, and what you’ve used recently. This tool seems to be for people who just want to be totally in control. Which I get, but most of us don’t want to have to administer a system to that level. If I wanted that, I’d use Linux and put up with its substandard systems for printing, monitors and so on.
Thank you so much for this. This helped me out so much!
I am unable to access my Action Center after doing this. Any suggestions to get that back?
same here
i also want to turn on action centre but i am not able to
same here, I had to run system restore to get it back. Good thing I made a restore point before running this
Bro, can you do one for macOS please.
I had a lot of luck using boot camp with Windows but I have a lot of background apps on macOS and I trust your work!
Great update with GUI, However, I would recommend keeping option for removing office and store. I mean, don't remove it in essential settings but keep button for removing it.
This is great. Exactly what I needed.
Always.... as usual a superb vid... THX for the script... and more so "how to do that!
Brave Browser is the TOP of the Heap... in security and I LIKE IT !
No, do not run any script from some random person on the internet. How do you know you can trust them? By all means inspect the script to see if you can learn anything from it, but be very very careful.
keep it up, this boosted my laptop with 20% and fixed lagging i had!!! I LOEV YOU, man!!!
in short, a good idea, but the script is no longer a debloat if it requires the installation of other software... but that's okay! very good idea on your part for the blow!
I'm thinking of using it when I switch my old pc to windows 10 or 11....
Thanks from New Zealand.
We're going to debloat windows! *ask to install 10 programs in the process* lmfao
"Debloat" script, adds new unneeded software instead. Yeah thanks, man, just what I didn't need.
I know! freakin hilarious and ironic
1. Java is widely use
2. it remove the default apps from Microsoft and change it with the better one
at first i though it was like that but i still ran the script anyways for the uninstall and privacy purposes but after using the apps that is installed with it, its actually really useful and people should use apps like notepad++ and chocolatery. it uninstalls so much more than it installs
The ABSOLUTE BEST WAY TO SPEED UP WINDOWS IS ( Drum Roll Please! ) Leave it behind and move on to LINUX! May I suggest Mint?
