Win11Debloat 07.11.2026 adds new Windows cleanup options and safer script handling

Win11Debloat has received a new 07.11.2026 update, giving Windows 10 and Windows 11 owners more ways to remove unwanted apps, reduce tracking, disable intrusive features, and clean up the default Windows experience. The tool remains a lightweight PowerShell script, aimed at people who want a faster way to remove bloatware and adjust system settings without digging through menus one by one.

The script is designed for both regular PC owners and more advanced users. It can remove preinstalled apps, disable telemetry, turn off suggestions and ads, remove Copilot, disable Windows Recall, block some AI features, and restore familiar interface behavior such as the older Windows 10 style context menu. It also includes command line support, Windows Audit mode support, and the ability to apply changes to other Windows accounts.

One of the useful parts of Win11Debloat is that its changes are not meant to be permanent. Most removed apps can be restored through the Microsoft Store, and the project provides guidance for undoing changes. That matters because debloating tools can affect features some people still use, especially on shared or work devices.

The latest update improves control, notifications, driver companion apps, and reliability

The 07.11.2026 release adds WhatIf support to Get.ps1, which is useful for people who want to preview what the script would do before applying changes. This is especially helpful for administrators or cautious users who want to avoid accidental changes on a main PC.

The update also adds an option to disable Windows Notifications and another feature to prevent automatic driver companion app installation. That second change may appeal to users who dislike hardware vendors installing extra control panels or companion apps without clear permission.

Several fixes are also included. The update now refuses to run under PowerShell 7 with a clear message, improves how registry backup load failures are shown, fixes issues with domain accounts, repairs problems with paths containing certain characters, and addresses icon loading issues on Windows 10. It also adds clearer reboot warnings for changes that require a restart.

The new version also fixes admin relaunch behavior in the main script, repairs run.bat behavior when launched from some paths, restores permissions correctly when re enabling store suggestions in search, and hides irrelevant Settings home page options on Windows 10. These are not flashy changes, but they make the tool safer and smoother to use.

Using Win11Debloat remains simple. After downloading the Get.ps1 script, you locate the file, right click it, and choose Run with PowerShell. If Windows shows a User Account Control prompt, you approve it so the script can make system level changes.

Still, this is the kind of tool that should be used carefully. Removing apps, disabling telemetry, blocking AI features, or changing system behavior can be useful, but it may also affect features you rely on. Before running it, you should understand which preset or options are being applied, and it is wise to create a restore point or backup important settings.

Win11Debloat 07.11.2026 is mainly a maintenance and control focused release. It does not reinvent the tool, but it adds helpful options, improves safety checks, and fixes several rough edges. For Windows users who want a cleaner setup with fewer ads, fewer background features, and less unwanted software, it remains one of the more practical open source debloating scripts available.
