- Raphire's Win11Debloat is MIT-licensed and has more than 56,000 stars on GitHub.
- Its custom setup displays removable apps, descriptions, and color-coded recommendations before anything is removed.
- The Microsoft Store should remain because it provides updates for most built-in Windows apps; restoring it would require an .appxbundle file and dependencies.
- Microsoft Edge should also remain because Windows Sandbox uses it by default on Windows 11 Pro, Education, or Enterprise.
The reason why I personally prefer it is that it takes all the guesswork out of deciding what should and shouldn't be removed, which is the biggest failure mode when it comes to the de-bloating process.— Abhinav, author of the Windows 11 debloating article
