    Just bought a new Windows laptop and it was LOADED with bloatware. Some apps could be deleted simply, some however are baked in. Discovered BloatyNosyApp and the partner app Junk Ctrl for W11 on GitHub https://github.com/builtbybel/BloatyNosy

    This seems to have done the trick quickly and surprisingly easily compared to DIY powershell activity.

      All PCs bought in retail should be wiped and reimaged with a fresh install. At the very best, you install the firmware updates manually or via the manufacturer app but even then I will take a second look before approving.

        That was the point of the article, it doesn’t do the trick anymore, bloatware is now part of the default install.
