Software-update: Win11Debloat 2026.10.30

Win11Debloat is een PowerShell-script dat enerzijds een groot aantal met Windows meegeleverde applicaties kan verwijderen en anderzijds instellingen kan wijzigen die voor een verbeterde privacy en gebruikersgemak zorgen. Ondanks dat het een script is, heeft het wel een grafische gebruikersinterface en in tegenstelling tot wat de naam suggereert kan het op zowel Windows 10 als 11 worden gebruikt. Te veel uitschakelen is uiteraard niet zonder risico, maar de als standaard aanbevolen instellingen kunnen redelijk veilig worden uitgevoerd. Ook biedt het de mogelijkheid om een herstelpunt te maken voordat de gekozen aanpassingen worden doorgevoerd. De changelog voor versie 2026.10.30 kan hieronder worden gevonden.

Release 2026.10.30

Win11Debloat now stores user data, including your last used settings, preferences, and logs, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Win11Debloat instead of the script directory. The script will still fall back to the script directory when it is run in system context.

This release introduces one of the most requested features for Win11Debloat: localization support! Made possible by contributions from the community, the GUI now supports 13 languages. Beyond localization, this update brings several new features, expanded app removal support, and numerous improvements to the user interface, security, reliability, and performance.
