The AchieVer Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Let’s face it, Windows 10 includes the system full of bloatware. There is lots of software you don’t ever need and you have to spend a lot of time to get rid of them as soon as you get the system installed. You could install Windows 10 LTSB (Long Term Support Branch) which doesn’t have the fancy features and updates, but if you want to enjoy some of the stuff, you can’t have it both ways. That’s where the nerds of the net come to rescue!

After running this script all the bloatware shall be removed . It's just like having windows LTSB , as stated above. However, if you do require all the features , then there is no need to run and or use this script. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
