## What it is
A PowerShell script collection that removes pre-installed bloatware from Windows 10, disables telemetry, Cortana search indexing, and unnecessary scheduled tasks. It offers interactive, silent, GUI, and Sysprep variants for different debloating workflows.

## Use cases
- remove pre-installed apps from windows 10
- debloat a fresh windows install
- disable windows telemetry and cortana
- clean up bloatware before sysprep imaging
- disable unnecessary scheduled tasks on windows
- run a silent debloat script on many machines

## When to choose
- you want a well-known, script-based Windows 10 debloater with interactive, silent, and GUI modes
- you need to debloat machines before creating a sysprep image
- you prefer a single PowerShell script over installing software

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows 11 rather than Windows 10
- you want a maintained GUI application with granular undo/restore features
- you are uncomfortable running admin-level scripts that modify your system irreversibly
