Is there an “standard” Windows 11 debloat script or software that I could use? Things like removing bloatware, and disabling as many of the AI features as possible?

Also, to head this off, I can’t use Linux because my mouse is unsupported.

Thanks!

Edit: I used WinUtil. Thanks again!

    This is the one I use on my work PC: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat

    Mostly what it does is change things back to how they were on older Windows versions. E.g. the start menu is aligned to the left corner instead of the center. It is great at removing unnecessary bloat apps like Xbox Game Bar, and disabling various telemetry and ads such as the spam Bing search in the start menu.

    I also found that PC had an annoying driver suite (resource hog) called something like “AMD Adrenaline Edition” that the debloat script missed. I had to uninstall the factory graphics driver and reinstall the “minimal, driver only” version from AMD.

    Use at your own risk of course. Microsoft often breaks these things with Windows updates
