Summary

  • The performance of a Windows computer can be significantly enhanced by stripping back the installation to remove bloatware and other unnecessary apps and features that come pre-installed by the manufacturer or Microsoft.
  • Third-party bloatware should be removed where possible, and there are a couple of ways that this can be achieved without having to undertake a complete reinstall:
    • Users could opt for a simpler, pared-back OS like Tiny11, although this would require starting pretty much from scratch.
    • Alternatively, for those wanting to keep Windows 11, FreeTimeTech’s Windows 11 Debloater tool can be used to disable or enable specific apps, features and performance enhancements with one click.
  • The tool is divided into three sections – EZ Debloater, Advanced Debloater and Fine-Tuning Debloater – which offer increasing levels of customisation.
  • Beyond the performance benefits, debloating Windows also improves the security of a machine by reducing the number of apps and features that may provide entry points for malware.
