How is this different from the other Windows debloater?

[BradKML]

There are like half a dozen debloaters out there, each with a different UX, how are they different from each other when it comes to coverage and risk of "bricking" the system?

I can't speak for all of the debloaters out there, but as for Win11Debloat. I think there's a few things that make it stand out:

• No installation, quick to run.
• Good default mode that quickly removes crud (almost) nobody wants, with minimal risk. Tip: It's even quicker if you run the script with the relevant parameters. e.g. to bypass menu and run defaults right away:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://debloat.raphi.re/"))) -RunDefaults -Silent

• Advanced features, such as ability to apply changes for other users and to default user profile.
• Easy to automate or include in your own scripts.
• Provides all registry files to be downloaded & run individually if desired.

Of course, it does have the downside that you're mostly limited to the console, there's (currently) no real UI except for the app selection interface. Win11Debloat may also lack some more risky debloating features, but in my opinion those often do more harm than good.

I'm interested to learn what other people think, and what makes them choose Win11Debloat (or not).

P.S. if you miss any features in Win11Debloat, please do create a feature request here.
