Just what the title says. I am looking to DL windows 10 on my device when it gets here Wednesday. I am choosing 10 because according to some other reddit posts Riot anti cheat has a problem with SD on Win11.
I found a decent guide to do it, albeit with win11 and the guy who did was using bloaty nosy? which seems tailored for Win11. To debloat his SD win11. He showed some before and after improvements with it, and honestly it was quite impressive.
So that being said, what’s the equivalent for Win10? Googling debloat windows 10 for steam deck doesn’t seem to be getting me anywhere, versus if you do the same search with win11 it shows Bloaty Nosy every time.
Hoping there is some community solution to this.
Have a backplate, 2tb ssd, 1tb micro sd (For emulation), and dock + wireless mouse and keyboard, and a couple USB sticks all showing Wednesday w/ the deck for this build. Obviously wanting this whole setup to run optimally after I load everything up.
Also any other advice on downloads for windows, looks like he is using some controller software, a custom overlay for FPS/CPU/GPU monitoring, and obviously the drivers provided by Steam. Do I need anything else? I think someone mentioned custom wifi drivers in another thread, I havent read much into it yet. Obv I will, just since i’m already asking one thing… Doesnt hurt ya’know.
Thanks for any advice.

Disclaimer
WARNING: I do NOT take responsibility for what may happen to your system! Run scripts at your own risk!
Also, other variants of this repo are not technically «new» versions of this, but they are different in their own respective ways. There are some sites saying that other projects are «new» versions of this, but that is inaccurate.
How To Run the Windows10Debloater.ps1 and the Windows10DebloaterGUI.ps1 files
There are different methods of running the PowerShell script. The methods are as follows:
First Method
- Download the .zip file on the main page of the GitHub and extract the .zip file to your desired location
- Once extracted, open PowerShell (or PowerShell ISE) as an Administrator
- Enable PowerShell execution
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force - On the prompt, change to the directory where you extracted the files:
e.g. —cd c:\temp - Next, to run either script, enter in the following:
e.g. —.\Windows10DebloaterGUI.ps1
Second Method
- Download the .zip file on the main page of the GitHub and extract the .zip file to your desired location
- Right-click the PowerShell file that you’d like to run and click on «Run With PowerShell»
- This will allow the script to run without having to do the above steps but Powershell will ask if you’re sure you want to run this script.
Remember this script NEEDS to be run as admin in order to function properly.
How To Run the Windows10SysPrepDebloater.ps1 file
For the WindowsSysPrepDebloater.ps1 file, there are a couple of parameters that you can run so that you can specify which functions are used. The parameters are:
-SysPrep, -Debloat and -Privacy.
To run this with parameters, do the following:
- Download the .zip file on the main page of the GitHub and extract the .zip file to your desired location
- Once extracted, open PowerShell (or PowerShell ISE) as an Administrator
- On the prompt, change to the directory where you extracted the files:
e.g. —cd c:\temp - Next, to run either script, enter in the following:
e.g. — .\Windows10SysPrepDebloater.ps1 -Sysprep -Debloat -Privacy
Sysprep, Interactive, and GUI Application
There are now 3 versions of Windows10Debloater — There is an interactive version, a GUI app version, and a pure silent version.
-
Windows10SysPrepDebloater.ps1-> The silent version now utilizes the switch parameters: -Sysprep, -Debloat -Privacy. The silent version can be useful for deploying MDT Images/sysprepping or any other way you deploy Windows 10. This will work to remove the bloatware during the deployment process. -
Windows10Debloater.ps1-> This interactive version is what it implies — a Windows10Debloater script with interactive prompts. This one should not be used for deployments that require a silent script with optional parameters. This script gives you choices with prompts as it runs so that you can make the choices of what the script does. -
Windows10DebloaterGUI.ps1-> There is now a GUI Application named Windows10DebloaterGUI.ps1 with buttons to perform all of the functions that the scripts do. This is better for the average user who does not want to work with code, or if you’d prefer to just see an application screen.
Switch Parameters
There are 3 switch parameters in the Windows10SysPrepDebloater.ps1 script.
-
-SysPrep, which runs the command within a function: get-appxpackage | remove-appxpackage. This is useful since some administrators need that command to run first in order for machines to be able to properly provision the apps for removal. -
-Debloat, switch parameter which does as it suggests. It runs the following functions: Start-Debloat, Remove-Keys, and Protect-Privacy.
Remove-Keys removes registry keys leftover that are associated with the bloatware apps listed above, but not removed during the Start-Debloat function. -
-Privacy, adds and/or changes registry keys to stop some telemetry functions, stops Cortana from being used as your Search Index, disables «unnecessary» scheduled tasks, and more.
This script will remove the bloatware from Windows 10 when using Remove-AppXPackage/Remove-AppXProvisionedPackage, and then delete specific registry keys that are were not removed beforehand. For best results, this script should be run before a user profile is configured, otherwise, you will likely see that apps that should have been removed will remain, and if they are removed you will find broken tiles on the start menu.
These registry keys are
EclipseManager,
ActiproSoftwareLLC,
Microsoft.PPIProjection,
Microsoft.XboxGameCallableUI
You can choose to either ‘Debloat’ or ‘Revert’. Depending on your choice, either one will run specific code to either debloat your Windows 10 machine.
The Debloat switch choice runs the following functions
Debloat,
Remove-Keys,
Protect-Privacy,
Stop-EdgePDF (If chosen)
The Revert switch choice runs the following functions
Revert-Changes,
Enable-EdgePDF
The Revert option reinstalls the bloatware and changes your registry keys back to default.
The scheduled tasks that are disabled are
XblGameSaveTaskLogon,
XblGameSaveTask,
Consolidator,
UsbCeip,
DmClient
These scheduled tasks that are disabled have absolutely no impact on the function of the OS.

There may be some confusion, but when using the Allowlist/Blocklist, the checkmark means it is on the blocklist, and that it will be removed.

Число программ для настройки и очистки или «твикеров» Windows исчисляется десятками, о многих о них уже было написано на сайте, например, в статье Лучшие программы для настройки Windows 10.
В этом кратком обзоре о ещё одной такой программе — Windows 11 Debloater и её же варианте для предыдущей версии ОС — Windows 10 Debloater, функциях и использовании.
Использование Windows 11 Debloater и Windows 10 Debloater
На сайте разработчика представлены две версии Windows Debloater — для Windows 11 и Windows 10, обе имеют русский язык интерфейса и очень похожи по функциям, за исключением отдельных пунктов, применимых лишь к одной из версий системы. Скачать каждую из версий можно с официального сайта:
- Windows 11 Debloater
- Windows 10 Debloater
После запуска язык интерфейса будет выбран автоматически, если потребуется его изменить — используйте пункт «Language» в главном меню программы. Как и для других подобных инструментов, перед началом использования рекомендую создать точку восстановления системы.
Интерфейс программы разбит на несколько вкладок, на каждой из которых доступны те или иные настройки или действия. В описании далее — Windows 11 Debloater, но и в версии для Windows 10 всё аналогично.
- EZ Debloater — основные действия по отключению функций и элементов Windows или их включению. Здесь же производится запуск применения выбранных базовых настроек с помощью кнопки «Запустить скрипт».
- Advanced Debloater — отключение некоторых системных функций с предустановленными профилями, оптимизированных для ПК, ноутбука, минимального использования ресурсов или виртуальной машины.
- 3-я сторона — установка и удаление популярных сторонних программ.
- Приложения Windows — установка и удаление встроенных приложений Windows 11/10.
- Пользовательский интерфейс и персонализация — настройка поведения элементов пользовательского интерфейса, скрытие и показ системных значков, расположения панели задач и другие. Пункты на английском языке, но если задержать указатель мыши, появится всплывающая подсказка с описанием на русском (актуально и для других разделов программы).
- Конфиденциальность и Телеметрия — отключение или включение соответствующих функций Windows.
- Один диск — пункт для удаления или установки OneDrive.
- Система — настройки системных функций, таких как сетевое обнаружение, гибернация, планы электропитания, показ или скрытие кодов BSoD, автоматическая очистка диска и другие.
- Стартовое меню — настройки меню Пуск, в частности: показ или скрытие недавно установленных приложений, запуск PowerShell от имени администратора из меню Пуск.
- UWP-приложения — отключение или включение автозагрузки встроенных UWP-приложений Teams и Cortana.
- Игры — пара настроек, имеющих отношение к играм: подсказки Xbox и планирование GPU.
- Защитник и безопасность — настройки функций защиты Microsoft Defender, без полного отключения. Если требуется, вы можете полностью отключить Microsoft Defender другими способами.
- Контекстное меню — скрытие и показ стандартных пунктов в контекстном меню Windows.
- Другой — другие параметры, в частности — размер панели задач и изменение некоторых других её параметров.
Чтобы применить настройки, сделанные во всех вкладках, кроме первой, перейдите на вкладку «Выход» и нажмите кнопку «Вывод PowerShell».
Это выведет скрипт PowerShell, выполняющий все запрошенные операции, который можно либо сохранить на компьютере, либо запустить прямо с этой вкладки.
Подводя итог:
- Windows 11 Debloater и Windows 10 Debloater — интересный продукт, есть полезные настройки, которые часто востребованы.
- Набор доступных настроек кажется не полным: многие другие общеизвестные и часто используемые опции можно было бы добавить в уже имеющиеся категории (к тому же механизм их применения тот же), но по какой-то причине они отсутствуют.
- Функция вывода всех примененных действий в свой скрипт PowerShell — хорошо и может быть полезным для тех, кто постоянно использует собственный набор твиков системы.

Remove-Keys removes registry keys leftover that are associated with the bloatware apps listed above, but not removed during the Start-Debloat function.
Third, Protect-Privacy adds and/or changes registry keys to stop some telemetry functions, stops Cortana from being used as your Search Index, disables «unneccessary» scheduled tasks, and more.
This script will remove the bloatware from Windows 10 when using Remove-AppXPackage/Remove-AppXProvisionedPackage, and then delete specific registry keys that are were not removed beforehand. For best results, this script should be ran before a user profile is configured, otherwise you will likely see that apps that should have been removed will remain, and if they are removed you will find broken tiles on the start menu.

SOURCES, REFERENCES & IMPORTANT NOTICES
We based our tool on Chris Titus Tech’s GitHub PowerShell Scripts: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/win10script as of Dec 12, 2021 and farag2’s Sophia Script for Windows: https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows as of April 18, 2023. Our tool is a mainly a front-end for the source scripts to make things easier to choose the many options. We add our own touches. Check updates for additions.
NOTICE: This program only edits and reads from TEXT files. Everything is done through text files so you can modify every option and function data.
README
There is a “EZ Debloater” tab page as main front of the program. It allows you to run common PowerShell scripts to debloat Windows 10. There are several restore/undo scripts you can choose from after if you choose. Some buttons in the “EZ Debloater” tab page has ToolTips (message popups) for more information.
Each button has a script you can see to modify if you want before running.
There is a “Advanced Debloater” tab page to basic fine-tuning debloating from 4 presets. There is also a “Undo All” to reset back to defaults. You can “See Script” to see your selections.
The “Fine-Tuning Debloater” allows you to create a PowerShell script file that you can run to finely tweak/debloat Windows 10. A restore point is created in the beginning so you can safely use this tool.
The options are arranged in different tabs and there is a preset “Debloat Preset” in the “Options” menu. You can choose a preset first and add your own choices. There is a “Windows Default Preset” to revert back to original Windows Default settings. You can also create your own radiobutton presets and share. There is also a “Opposite” menu choice to select the alternate radiobutton choices. This is good to revert the changes in a script to run.
In “Normal” mode, the “EZ Debloater” textbox that shows the script summarized. Switch to “Edit” mode to see the full PowerShell script.
In “Edit” mode for “Advanced Debloater“, you get a “RE” button beside each checkbox selection to “Read/Edit” the PowerShell script for each checkbox.
Also in “Edit” mode for “Fine-Tuning Debloater“, you can have a button beside each radiobutton (labelled with a first single letter of the radiobutton) to “Read/Edit” the PowerShell script for each radiobutton.
HOW TO USE
Installation
Windows 10 Debloater can be used without installation. You can use the application by unzipping the downloaded ZIP file and running the “Windows10Debloater.exe” file.
Basic Usage
