If there is one guaranteed thing in the software world, it is that sooner or later Microsoft will fill Windows with garbage. Besides bundling programs and features the user does not want, Redmond insists on making them difficult to uninstall, which forces us to turn to special tools. That brings us to Bloatware Removal Utility, a very effective option for removing Windows bloatware without drowning in Registry chains or PowerShell windows.
And in another episode of “Torturing Windows 11 users is our favorite sport,” the new Smart App Control security feature will be so integrated into the operating system that will need to be reinstalled from scratch to use it. As if that weren’t enough, some members of the Windows 11 team participated in an AMA and basically confirmed that moving the taskbar is “not a priority”... a curious decision considering it is (by far) the most requested feature in the Feedback Hub.
Now, if we need another proof that Redmond has divorced itself from reality, just look at the bloatware. I admit that the situation in Windows 11 is not as chaotic, but Windows 10 keeps doing its thing with spontaneous installations of Candy Crush and March of Empires. If we add up all the Windows apps nobody uses, the goal is clear: We want that crap out of our computers. If you are wondering how to remove Windows bloatware, the tool Bloatware Removal Utility has the answer.
How to remove Windows bloatware
Once you download the latest release from GitHub (dated December 2021), all you need to do is unzip the file into a temporary folder and run the only .bat inside it with elevated privileges. This will load the Bloatware Removal Utility interface, and one of its main features is that it can preselect the bloatware to remove. For the rest, just check the boxes and finally click Remove Selected.
The next step opens an elevated PowerShell environment and runs the necessary commands to remove the bloatware. The program will likely ask for confirmation before continuing, and it is also natural to find some errors during the process, because not everything can be deleted from the operating system, no matter how much we want it. As a safety measure, Bloatware Removal Utility will create a restore point.
In essence, Bloatware Removal Utility saves us the long surgery session to remove Windows bloatware. If things don’t change in Redmond, our dependence on tools like this will continue, always thinking about putting some order on the operating system.
