Removing Bloatware from Windows 10 & 11 via script

by

Updated June 2025

Update – The script is now code signed for extra security.  If you are using the intune self-download script, please grab the latest version (it’s also available as an intunewin if required)

One complaint I often hear about using straight OOBE autopilot is around the bloatware, either manufacturer installed (McAfee trials anyone?) or the Microsoft stuff, after all, who needs Xbox Gaming bar on an enterprise machine?

One option is to take the machine and drop on a fresh ISO, add the autopilot hash (or inject the JSON) and then remove the Microsoft apps via Store for Business and uninstall assignments. This of course works well, but it’s effort and also means you can’t ship straight from the manufacturer unless you also send a USB stick with something like the excellent OSD Cloud from David Segura (which I would strongly recommend for “it’s dead, Jim,” rebuilds.

I, personally, prefer to embrace the future and go all out Autopilot, ship straight to your users and let Intune sort the rest which obviously pushes me down the scripting route. There are plenty of scripts out there, but none quite ticked all of the boxes, I wanted something that would remove all MS apps without me having to mess with the store, manufacturer bloat and anything else which might have crept on.

I then saw this post from Ben Whitmore and decided I wanted it to be self-updating too.

So, here is my BloatWare removal script:

https://github.com/andrew-s-taylor/public/tree/main/De-Bloat

In this folder you will find the script to remove the bloat, the script to deploy it and also a script if you want to deploy as an application (as well as the IntuneWin file)

De-Bloat Script

Let’s start with the script itself, it will:

    • Remove AppX Packages (listed)

    • Remove associated reg keys

    • Disable Windows Feedback

    • Removes Cortana from Search

    • Removes Web Results from search

    • Disables Wi-Fi Sense

    • Disables Live Tiles

    • Removes unwanted scheduled tasks (Xbox Live etc.)

    • Removes Windows 11 specific apps (Teams Chat for example)

    • Clears start menu

    • Disables the hidden surfing game in Edge

    • Removes Dell, HP and Lenovo specific bloat (by detecting manufacturer and deploying appropriately)

    • Removes McAfee (if detected)

    • Removes any Win32 apps which aren’t Intune, Windows Update or MS Edge

    • Removes Chrome

    • Removes Windows Copilot

    • Removes Windows Backup (win10 only)

I know some of you may be looking at the last two options and worrying about the current estate if you deploy site-wide, but I have you covered. The Win32 app removal part will only run if NO apps have been deployed via Intune. If it detects any installations, it will just skip that bit.

The full script will report back to a log file here:

C:\ProgramData\Debloat\Debloat.log

Intune Script Deployment

My suggestion is to deploy as a device script in Intune, that way it will run prior to any apps installing and you will have the full experience. This is where the secondary script comes in. This will grab the latest copy of the de-bloat script, copy it to the machine and run locally. It’s quicker and means you can always be sure devices are running the latest version without constantly replacing scripts.  You can also add a custom whitelist option here should you want to exclude anything from removing:

NOTE: Run in the 64-bit context

$DebloatFolder = "C:\ProgramData\Debloat"
If (Test-Path $DebloatFolder) {
    Write-Output "$DebloatFolder exists. Skipping."
}
Else {
    Write-Output "The folder '$DebloatFolder' doesn't exist. This folder will be used for storing logs created after the script runs. Creating now."
    Start-Sleep 1
    New-Item -Path "$DebloatFolder" -ItemType Directory
    Write-Output "The folder $DebloatFolder was successfully created."
}

$templateFilePath = "C:\ProgramData\Debloat"

$zipUrl = "https://github.com/andrew-s-taylor/public/releases/download/DeBloat/RemoveBloat.zip"
$zipPath = "$templateFilePath\RemoveBloat.zip"
$extractPath = "$templateFilePath"

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $zipUrl -OutFile $zipPath
Expand-Archive -Path $zipPath -DestinationPath $extractPath -Force


##Populate between the speechmarks any apps you want to whitelist, comma-separated
$arguments = ' -customwhitelist ""'


invoke-expression -Command "$templateFilePath $arguments"

Intune Application Deployment

If you would prefer to deploy as an application, you can either grab the Intunewin file and use the following commands:

Install:

powershell -executionpolicy bypass -file debloat-intune-script.ps1

Uninstall (obviously not an option, so a dead command)

cmd.exe /c

Detection:

C:\ProgramData\Debloat\Debloat.log

OR

If you want to be extra lazy, run this script:

Deploy-DeBloat-Application.ps1

Which will download the file and setup the application for you

Happy de-bloating!

  1. Hi Andrew,

    just tried to create a platform script for autopilot
    when selecting the new downloaded “debloat-intune-script.ps1” pop up is comming

    Selected file ‘debloat-intune-script.ps1’ must be between 1 and 200000 bytes.

    How can i resolve this

    Reply

  3. Hey Andrew,

    Thank you for this. I am completely new to this process and don’t know the first thing about Git or deploying a PS script via Intune. Do I just download and upload the ‘debloat-intune-script.ps1’ file into Intune? Also, what did you mean by secondary script? Do I need to do the same with any other .ps1s in the De-Bloat folder for this script to update automatically?

    Thanks for any answers you can provide.

    • Hi John,
      If you add that script as a platform script (64-bit, system context), that’s all you need to do. Everytime it runs on a fresh device, it will automatically download the latest version 🙂

      Hope this helps

  5. Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for the script!

    I was going over the script and saw that although you look in the $intunepath = “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Win32Apps” your script doesn’t use the intunecomplete variable in the if statement but instead only checks if the device is in oobe. Is this the expected behavior or it will uninstall my win32 apps that Intune installed?

    Also, although I do believe that the platform scripts run before win32 installations (which I have as required and not as blocking apps), can we be sure the debloat script will be done before we start the installations?

    Thank you again for the script 🙂

  6. Hey Andrew! First of all, thank you for creating this Gigachad of a script. I work at a small MSP and am evaluating this as something we can push to all our Intune clients because debloating is a constant battle we fight every day.

    However, I am having an issue that I hope has an obvious fix. I’m currently testing this with a VM that’s assigned to a group. I have the script loaded in as a device script. So “Run as logged in user” is set to No, signature check is Yes and Run in 64-bit is Yes. I was executing the script with E046963F.LenovoSettingsforEnterprise as a whitelist exception as we actually want to keep Commercial Vantage installed, but I have tried it with a blank whitelist as well.

    The script is always showing Error under Device Status in Intune and doesn’t appear to be executing. However, if I execute the script manually in an elevated PowerShell session, it runs successfully. So the script appears to be functional, but it’s not being called properly through Intune. And of course, Intune is useless at telling you why a script failed, only that it did.

    Do you have any ideas on what I could look at to narrow this down? Thank you again! I’ll be kicking some GitHub sponsor bucks at the project if we roll this out.

    • Hi Gerry,
      With Lenovo devices it will often show an error because one of the Lenovo uninstall scripts has a fault in it, but it should still trigger and remove everything else.
      Is there anything showing in c:\ProgramData\DeBloat? There should be a log file produced in there

  7. Hiya,

    Script works perfectly manually still looking at setting it up via Intune.

    I was wondering, would it be possible to get the HP Security Wolf uninstaller thrown into the script as well as that needs to be done manually at the minute

    Thanks!

  8. Let me try to recap.. I think we don’t sync, what my issue / request is:

    1: Download this https://github.com/andrew-s-taylor/public/blob/main/De-Bloat/debloat-intune-script.ps1
    2: Link from #1, will download this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrew-s-taylor/public/main/De-Bloat/RemoveBloat.ps1”
    3: Link from #2, is dynamicly updated, which could be good for some. But with this setup, it’s impossible to maintain own whitelisted apps.

    So again… how to use your script, keeping it up to date, and remain own whitelisted apps?
    I would NOT deploy this into Intune clients, it will break their daily work / tasks. But I would love to remove bloatware nice and easily.

    Reply

      • Aha, sorry now.. Think I got it! From link 1:

        ##Populate between the speechmarks any apps you want to whitelist, comma-separated
        $arguments = ‘ -customwhitelist “”‘
        Like: $arguments = ‘ -customwhitelist “MSTeams”‘

        Thanks.
        Last question for now, will this remove any exisiting Edge settings that is synced from an M365 account? Fx C:\Users\$userpath\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks ..

        I would not like to remove any synced data / settings from a M365 account.

  9. Hi Andrew,
    Thanks for the script, it’s helped tremendously on easily removing bloatware during AutoPilot Enrollment.

    When running on Lenovo PCs, it looks the the built in uninstall script for LenovoNow on line 1893 will always through some errors despite successfully uninstalling the software. This in turn causes Intune to report the script as failed which causes it to retry a few times.

    Any ideas on getting Intune to ignore those errors so the script reports successful? I don’t like the idea of using $Error.clear() because you would lose any potential real errors stored at the start of the script.

    Reply

    • Hi,
      Sadly that’s been an error for ages. I could possibly ingest the script, fix the errors and re-write it, but I’m not a fan of editing other scripts.
      You could edit that section out, or if you can send me a copy, I can see if I can include it within this one.
      I don’t have an easy answer I’m afraid, except maybe shout at your rep 🙂

  12. Hi Andrew,

    First of all, thank you for your work — it’s been incredibly helpful for a tech like me!

    I’m currently experiencing an issue with all HP devices: when running Debloatloader, it freezes during the uninstallation of HP Wolf Security Console. I’m not sure what’s causing the problem, but it’s quite frustrating.

    Any insight or fix would be greatly appreciated!

    Reply

      • Hi Andrew,

        Thanks for the quick reply!

        I just checked, and there’s nothing new or unusual showing up in Device Manager when the issue occurs. The Debloatloader seems completely stuck at the uninstallation step — no prompt appears, and there’s no visible request for user input either.

        Let me know if there’s anything else I can try or check.

  13. Hi Andrew, the recent line you added for Lenovo’s TrackPoint Quick Menu doesn’t work for us.

    I have been able to remove it though, after some digging in the registry.
    I added “E0469640.TrackPointQuickMenu” under $UninstallPrograms = @(
    Script line 1746.

    Hope this helps anyone else.

  14. Hi Andrew, thanks for your help with this.

    QQ – what are the differences between the 2 mccleanup apps? Could one simply use either or and package it as a win32 app?

    • Hi Ian, one is a slightly newer version. I’ve found different versions work with earlier or later versions of McAfee. You’ll be fine with just one, but I would test to check which works best for your builds

  15. Hi Andrew,
    Great Script 🙂

    On a newly built lenovo the following app remains

    “TrackPoint Quick Menu” (publisher Lenovo)

    Can that be added to the script also please

  16. Excellent work Andrew.
    I seem to be having some Onedrive related issues.

    I am seeing that Onedrive is vanishing from the system. It goes from the taskbar and if a user searches and runs it from the Start Menu, nothing happens.

        • Andrew,
          So far, so good. I am running the updated removebloat.ps1 on the test stations. I downloaded it from Github once you updated it.
          If I revert back to using the .intunewin as a W32 app, does it call your updated removebloat.ps1 or is it using an older version packaged within the intunewin?

          Rob

          Reply

          • Excellent, glad that’s sorted it. The intunewin will grab the latest version, the script in there is the same as the platform script which grabs live from github

  17. I couldn’t help but notice that you have listed the “Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp” listed in both the whitelist and the bloat.

    Any reason it is in both?

    Reply

  18. Hi Andrew, Thanks for This!

    If i want to use it as a device script “platform script in intune) should i use “RemoveBloat.ps1” file? Run this script using the logged on credentials Yes?
    Enforce script signature check Yes?

    Thanks!

    /Jonas

    Reply

    • Hi, when calling the script, use the -customwhitelist parameter and add a comma separated list of apps you want to add. Just add it in the platform script which downloads the main one

      Reply

          • I chose your ‘Intune Script Deployment’ 🙂
            It could be “Lenovo Vantage” and “Dell Command Update” I would like to whitelist

          • Unable – I can’t edit your script on GitHub, that’s my I’m asking how to use your Intune Script Deployment + whitelisting.

          • Let me try again…
            I can’t edit my script in Intune, when I use yours as suggested:

            $DebloatFolder = “C:\ProgramData\Debloat”
            If (Test-Path $DebloatFolder) {
            Write-Output “$DebloatFolder exists. Skipping.”
            }
            Else {
            Write-Output “The folder ‘$DebloatFolder’ doesn’t exist. This folder will be used for storing logs created after the script runs. Creating now.”
            Start-Sleep 1
            New-Item -Path “$DebloatFolder” -ItemType Directory
            Write-Output “The folder $DebloatFolder was successfully created.”
            }

            $templateFilePath = “C:\ProgramData\Debloat\removebloat.ps1”

            Invoke-WebRequest `
            -Uri “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrew-s-taylor/public/main/De-Bloat/RemoveBloat.ps1” `
            -OutFile $templateFilePath `
            -UseBasicParsing `
            -Headers @{“Cache-Control”=”no-cache”}

            invoke-expression -Command $templateFilePath

            I’ll like to use the GitHub script, in order to keep it updated + with my whitelisted apps.
            Is that possible at all?

  20. Awesomework mate.
    Much appreciated. Just wondering if “HP Presence Video” could get removed as well.
    Thank you again

    Reply

      • Thats awesome, worked like a charm!!

        I applied this script to couple of exisitng machines in the organisation, which was already provisioned and was in use for long time. During the script execution, the pc restarted it itself one time.

        Looked at the event viewer and the restart happened staright after the below events.
        Event ID : 7045
        A service was installed in the system.

        Service Name: HP Sure Click AX Service
        Service File Name: “C:\Program Files\HP\Sure Click\4.4.24.3257\servers\BrAXService.exe” uninstall
        Service Type: user mode service
        Service Start Type: demand start
        Service Account: LocalSystem

        Event ID : 7000
        The HP Sure Click AX Service service failed to start due to the following error:
        The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

        Event ID : 7009
        A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the HP Sure Click AX Service service to connect.

        Any thoughts? I just don’t want the machine to reboot unexpectedly. Any help would be appreciated.

  22. I noticed that new Lenovo laptops with OEM image have a few favorites in Microsoft Edge and they are persistent with every new profile on the PC (Entries are Lenovo Support, Lenovo and McAfee).

    I can delete one by one every time but would be nice to have it vanished in a more comprehensive way out of the installation. Do anyone know how respectively where this entries are embedded that they get intialized with every profile created on the PC.

    I found blog entry about the topic but the approach is not what I have in mind and also not reveals where these entries are nested.

  23. Hi Andrew,

    I noticed that in the “default whitelist” are not video standard codecs included (e.g. ‘Microsoft.MPEG2VideoExtension’, ‘Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension’, Microsoft.AV1VideoExtension’) which are often used e.g. for smartphone videos etc.

    Just asked myself if it’s not more useful to have it by default instead removing it. Especially the HEVC Codec isn’t possible to get for free for Windows 11 anymore in the Microsoft Store but it’s included in a fresh image. (https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nmzlz57r3t7?hl=us-en&gl=en)

  24. On my end, the script doesn’t seem to run all the way through. It stops after the HP section.
    I tried deploying it both as a remediation script and as an application, but I encountered the same issue each time.
    I tested it on the HP ProBook 460 16-inch G11 Notebook PC and the HP ProBook 450 15.6-inch G10 Notebook PC, but the problem persisted.
    Do you have any idea why it wouldn’t work? Here are the last few lines of the log file:

        After that, I get the message “Removed HP bloat,” and the script stops.

  25. This script is brilliant! However I’ve been facing an odd issue, machines I deploy via autopilot debloat fine (bunch of dell mini pcs) however in another client site the scripts failed to work, or only killed 1 or two applications. User who enrolled over there was in the same auto deployment group as myself with the same permissions. Do we perhaps need to add an execution policy bypass to it? Sorry if I sound a bit dim there

    Reply

      • We do indeed, which has left me scratching my head, does a user doing the first time sign in for enrolment need certain rights? Cheers!

        Reply

          • Deployed successfully, yet doesn’t seem to have actioned. As a sanity check I ran the script manually on the machines after and they work, and even more confusingly there doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason to it, all the base hardware is the same. We are using Hybrid AD so perhaps something on our domain side is kicking a fuss, I’m not too sure!

            I may just delete the script and start over, when it works it works beautifully so could be our tenant is being problematic for whatever strange reason, or I’ll try the app method

  26. This script is fantastic! You have thought out so many possible outcomes and registry entries that need to be removed as well. Even things like Logitech’s LDA and all the pinned stuff in the start menu. Years in the making as your comments on this board would indicate.

    I do have one question about a part I couldn’t figure out.
    I have this left over scraggler that I haven’t seen before but it showed up on 1 machine involuntarily. It’s McAfee Security – I made these entries in the ##Bloat list for future reference
    “*McAfeeSecurity*”
    “*McAfee*”
    but it seems to still be there. I looked at the log and it says
    Intune detected, skipping removal of apps
    0 number of apps detected
    Completed

    Any idea what I did wrong?

    Reply

    • Hi,
      McAfee won’t uninstall by adding to the list, the uninstall strings in the registry won’t run silently.
      Can you check if the logs say it detected McAfee and attempted to remove it?
      Any win32 apps are skipped if it detects a user is logged in, they only trigger during OOBE, but that won’t stop it removing the other bloat

      Reply

      • It does say Detecting McAfee, but it does not say detected or anything else after the line, It goes to the next line (Intune detected). So my guess would be that it is Not detecting it.

        I think this one might just be a windows 11 app though and not an msi installed program.
        If I enter the Get-AppxPackage -allusers command the McAfeeSecurity app shows in the list.
        5A894077.McAfeeSecurity 5A894077.McAfeeSecurity_2.1.27.0_x64__wafk5atnkzcwy
        but it does not show up in appwiz.cpl

        I have not seen this one before, so maybe it was user installed and some kind of fluke?

  27. Thanks for this. Great
    Is it easy to remove some apps from the script. So that they will stay installed?
    Can we move or remove some items from the RemoveBloat.ps1 script?

  28. We run Windows 11 Pro in Intune with Autopilot. Unfortunately no debloat script seems to work. The start menu is still bloated with Microsoft Clipchamp, Solitaire, Paint, Outlook NEW (ugh), Snipping tool. Copilot and Microsoft Clipchamp are still installed. Any ideas on why this occurs?

    Reply

  29. Andrew – we have been running the script through Intune for months and it has been great. I just updated a few days ago and users are now getting and error pop up that the LogiLDA.dll module could not be found. I see the script will remove this but should this be popping an error message to the users? Thanks for all your hard work on this!

    Reply

      • Thank you. I did test on my computer after I received the pop-up and in Start Up Apps, LDA is now disabled as it cannot find the app. After the first error pop, the message does not appear again on reboot as it is now disabled. Just a surprise on that first boot. Thanks again and thank you overall for the script. It has been great

  30. Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the helpful script. One Issue I am running into is that the script seems to time out when running in autopilot. I have a 60-minute timeout currently, does it need to be greater than that?

    Reply

  31. I just set up a fresh Lenovo Laptop manually without intune to test the Script locally but it still says “intune detected, skipping app removal” (or something similar). Does someone have a clue why that happens?

  33. Hi Andrew,

    Is there a specific reason you did not wrap this up as remediation script?
    Would be super powerful to have this as remediation script, to be sure no update or whatsoever is reverting all the deletions…

  34. Hi Andrew! Big fan of your work.

    Quick question, when running the script on our HP Devices, it gets stuck on a long time ( I would say close to 10 mins) on

    ##Belt and braces, remove via CIM too
    foreach ($program in $UninstallPrograms) {
    Get-CimInstance -Classname Win32_Product | Where-Object Name -Match $program | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName UnInstall
    }

    Can you explain what it is trying to do or if this can be commented out? This increased my Autopilot from around 20 mins to just over 30. If maybe you need some info from our HP Devices would love to help out.

    Reply

    • Also noticed the start menu wasn`t reset and still incudes the regular bloat such as Solitaire etc, however I can see that the defaultlayout.xml was created. (logged in with LAPS account)

      Not sure if this is expected as well.

      Reply

    • Hi,
      I’ve found that sometimes the uninstall commands don’t work so that is giving them an extra nudge by running it with CIM. No harm in disabling that part though, just check it all uninstalls correctly

      Reply

  35. Hello Andrew….
    I am not sure if anybody else has complained, but I cannot get McAfee to uninstall using the script via Intune Platform Script. Everything else works fine. These are Lenovo laptops.

    Steps:
    1. Factory Reset
    2. Autopilot Join
    3. Script runs after Autopilot

    I notice that it downloads the folders and files to the ‘c:\programdata\Debloat\’ directory for McAfee, but it fails after that.

    Or do you have any other solutions that you have seen if your script does not work via Intune?

    Reply

    • Hi, are you running the script during OOBE (assigned to a device group)?
      I have found some newer devices don’t fully remove McAfee and leave a few files behind, but the majority is usually removed.

      Reply

  36. Hi Andrew,

    TY for this script, it is really helpful.
    One issue i am noticing is that McAfee is still on the Lenovo devices after running this script.
    I am using the intunewin method.

    The log file shows this at the very end:
    Detecting McAfee
    Still in OOBE, continue
    Completed

    Any suggestions?

  37. Does this work for devices already in Intune? New to using platform scripts in Intune. I have debloat-intune-script.ps1 set ( is this the correct one for platform scripts?) but I haven’t seen it run yet on the test devices I have.

    Reply

      • I was able to get the application version working with debloat-intune-script.intunewin. I would still like to have a platform script instead so it will do its magic before autopilot installs apps. I tried to use debloat-intune-script.ps1 but that didn’t seem to work as a platform script. Should I use RemoveBloat.ps1 instead? For the script setting should they be:
        Run this script using the logged on credentials: No
        Enforce script signature check: Yes
        Run script in 64 bit PowerShell Host: No

  38. Hello Andrew !
    Thanks for this wonderful script !
    It seems to fit my needs, and will save me a lot of times.
    Can you please add this new HP link :

    Also I have still 3 HP Insights apps (does not seems to be appx) after debloating :
    “HP Insights”
    “HP Insights Analytics”
    “HP Insights Analytics – Dependencies”
    Any chance you can also add them for removing ?

  40. Andrew, just found this site last week and kicking myself for not finding out about your script sooner. Well done, lots of good stuff in there.

    I tested it against our Dell Latitude 5450 which comes with the ReadyImage which includes all the Dell bloatware. After autopilot pre-provisioning and user logs in, we still have the “Dell Trusted Device Agent” app present, and “Dell Digital Delivery” installs itself after a few seconds. FYI.

      • Dell Trusted Device Agent (wasn’t able to find it from Get-AppxProvisionedPackage or Get-AppxPackage, but found it from the registry, not sure why the section ‘Grab all Uninstall Strings’ didn’t grab it)

    very nice job – thanks for your work 🙂

    I noticed two things which arent’s removed on current Lenovo Devices (in our case Thinkbooks) with latest version of the script and can maybe added
    :
    1. Lenovo now – QuietUninstallString: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\LenovoNow\unins000.exe” /SILENT

    2. McAffee Services (it also comes with annoying Tray Icon)
    – mc-fw-host -> C:\Program Files\McAfee\WPS\1.7.209.1\mc-fw-host.exe” -service
    – mc-wps-update -> “C:\Program Files\McAfee\WPS\1.7.209.1\mc-update.exe” /runservice
    I haven’t found out yet how to clean remove it.

      • Andrew,

        Thank you for your prompt reply. I was still having the same issue where the powershell script would download unsigned when downloading the RAW file from Github via web browser. However, when cloning the repo using Git Desktop the file downloaded signed as expected. I hope this can maybe help anyone else experiencing the same issue.

        Reply

        • When downloading the file from GitHub directly, it seems it has the wrong end of line sequence. As the script was signed when the file was stored with CRLF in UTF-8, this is what the script must be converted into after downloading. You can achieve this with VSCode easily.

          However, since the PowerShell Core era and Git has begun, it is now best practice to safe files using the Unix end of line sequence, which is LF. When this is ensured before the script is signed, the signature will not be corrupted when Git and GitHub are involved.

          Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core can both handle LF nicely for quite a while. Just stay away from using the old tools like Windows PowerShell ISE, they shouldn’t be used anymore. Go with VS Code instead with LF and UTF-8 and you’re good to go.
          Oh and when it comes to UTF-8 with BOM (Byte-order-Mark): It is usually not needed and not every software can handle it appropriately anyway. UTF-8 is just implied these days so no BOM is fine too.

  45. Just a question but are you having this run just once per device/user when using Intune? If we later push Chrome down to a PC will this come behind that and uninstall it?

    Reply

  46. This solution seems like what I need to remove bloatware, but I think i’m out of my league on how to run it. I’ve download each of the github raw files into my download folder, but i dont know what the next steps are.

    thanks!

    Reply

    • Hi,
      You have two options:
      1) Deploy the removebloat script as a platform script (64-bit, system context). Keep in mind you may need to replace the script as I updated it, if the updates are relevant to you
      2) Deploy the debloat-intune-script as a platform script (64-bit, system context). This one downloads the latest version to the machine on launch so it keeps itself updated on new devices.

      Either do the same thing, it depends if you would rather have full control, or something a bit more automated

  50. Also – we found that Office is not uninstalling/running unless copying the office section apart in a seperate script. Is office uninstallation depending on running in OOBE?

      • Unfortunately we got issues downloading the odt.exe-file. Debloat.log gives:
        TerminatingError(Invoke.Webrequest): The underlying connection was closed: Failed to maintain a trust relationship for the secure SSL/TLS channel. (Translated from swedish).
        If we run the Office-uninstallationscript seperatly outside OOBE it works well.

        We do not find any blocked traffic by firewall. I could include the odt-file in the intunewin-file and add a copy-item to deal with that. A little more bytes for the clients to download even if they were running the application outside OOBE.
        Not a major issue for us but maybee others might faced this issue.

        Great script! Thanks for sharing!

        • Thanks for the feedback, it’s grabbing direct from GitHub which I would expect would be secure, but I’ll keep an eye in case others have the same issue. I could move it to blob storage as an alternative

          Glad the HP apps are working as well!

          • Hi!
            There is no reply button on the last post so I reply here 🙂
            I have been commenting out all HP software except HP Notification, AD2F1837.HPSupportAssistant and AD2F1837.myHP
            In row 1356 $InstalledPrograms = $allstring | where……..
            One issue might be that the paramater/array of $allstrings does not include AD2F1837.HPSupportAssistant and AD2F1837.myHP as there is no uninstall string present for those.

            I really cant tell. We tried Jereons script https://gist.github.com/mark05e/a79221b4245962a477a49eb281d97388#file-remove-hpbloatware-ps1 . That one uninstalls those HP applications well. As for now we might have to combine or split those script together.

          • Thanks!

            I think it might be working now. Tried reinstalling some HP applications and those we want to get rid of is uninstalled. I need to unbox a new laptop to make sure.
            Many thanks!

  54. Thanks for this amazing script. Unfortunately I seem to be having issues getting it to work, as I keep getting Failed in the device status, I presume it’s something I am doing wrong as all others on here have got it working.

    I have a setup a new platform script (Device > Scripts and remediations > Platform scripts)
    In the script location I point to debloat-intune-script.ps1.
    Set the Run this script using the logged on credentials to No.
    Enforced script signature check and Run script in 64 bit to Yes.

    Am I missing something?

    Reply

    • Hi,
      That sounds about right, is it creating the log file in c:\ProgramData\Debloat?
      It might be it is running, but something in the script itself is sending an error code. Happy to look through the log if it has created one

      Reply

      • Hello 🙂

        The C:\ProgramData\Debloat hasn’t been created.

        We have been told that there is an issue with Company Portal at the moment, would this be causing an issue do you think?

        Thanks

        Reply

        • That sounds like it is failing entirely, try changing signature check to No in case it’s that (it’s signed so should work).
          If not, we might have to dig into the registry to find the recorded output

          • Morning Andrew,

            I have ran this locally and all works like a dream, thank you 🙂

            So the issue of Intune is down to the Company Portal we are having.

            Thank you so much for this code!!

          • I’ve had this to work through InTune, but on Intune it states that it failed. But it seems that all apps have been removed.

            If I add the log file here are you happy to see if there’s an error please?

  55. Hi Andrew,

    Script worked after testing, I want to be able to edit the script to not uninstall Quick Assist and Microsoft Remote Desktop (I use these products), then I want to figure out how I can uninstall Outlook (new) and Teams (personal). Is there a way you may be able to help me with that in the script?

    Reply

  56. Hi Andrew,

    This is a great script that I am testing on my tenant. Quick question that I am a bit confused about when it comes to the detection rule.

    Are you doing “Manually configured detection rules”? If so, are you doing “File”? As it isn’t specify in your description on how you did it just says “C:\ProgramData\Debloat\Debloat.log” if it is “File” then the path would be your detection? And “File or Folder” would be “Debloat.log”? and “Detection method” would be “File or folder exists”?

    Also, another question, your Intunewin file has the ps1 script that removes the bloatware with it as well?

    Thanks,
    Ranhyer

    Reply

    • Hi,
      I would normally suggest using a platform script so it runs earlier and catches Office and Chrome.

      If you want to deploy as an app, you can just use the log file path, but there is the risk it marks as complete before the script has finished executing so it might be better to use a custom detection script and read the log file for the completion message.

      The Intunewin is just the deploy script, not the removebloat one

      Reply

  57. Hi Andrew again,

    I have continuing having great success with the script, thank you!!!

    I have a question and would appreciate some advice. I decided to start push Commercial Vantage via MS Store during autopilot, but I see the script is supposed to remove Vantage (or they have different appx names?) and I was wondering would it be possible to somehow uninstall the Com Vantage that comes with the laptop and then install my own via Intune? (assuming they have different package names)

    Thank you

    Reply

  58. Any way you can add some logic to detect if any Lenovo bloat was installed via intune and skip.
    We use Lenovo Commercial Vantage at work, and this is uninstalling it.

    Thank you.

  59. Hi Andrew, script is great and is removing all of the HP shenanigans from our devices as part of the Autopilot process.
    One issue we have is with the pre-baked O365ProPlusRetail not cleansing with script, instead it backs out as intune is detected, trying to run this to rip off baked Office in the HP OEM and then allow me to push Office from Intune with modern Teams etc but just never get’s that far. Any tips on the tweaks I need to make that happen?

    Reply

    • Hi Dave,
      I am having a nightmare with those apps, using ODT removes them, but it slows down ESP significantly. I am looking at options, but what you can do is add to your office deployment xml to remove anything pre-existing.
      if anyone has tips for removing them, I’m open to any suggestions 🙂

  61. Dear Andrew,

    Awesome script you made, helps me a bunch in our new environment and using Autopilot.

    I was wondering two things:

    Can u mabye help me adding something to the script, so that it will delete the following remaining apps?

    – HP Security Update Service
    – HP Documentation

    Thanks a bunch! 😀

      • Dear Andrew,

        I found it:

        HP Documentation:
        CMD /C “C:\Program Files\HP\Documentation\Doc_Uninstall.cmd”

        HP Security Update Service:

        MsiExec.exe /X{30CC58FD-9092-4353-BF19-F11B9EB08F2E}

        Reply

          • When I rerun the script, it does delete the HP Security Update Service but not the HP Documentation is not.

            I can’t find the logs in the Debloat map in ProgramData.
            Or am I looking in the wrong direction?

          • Hey Andrew,

            Hope u have some time. I have the logs, where can I send them too?
            I also see in the script that they both are in it, yet it just doesn’t delete it… kinda weird.

          • Dear Andrew,

            while analyzing this (HP Security Update Service wasn’t removed during first run) I saw that the lines
            ##Remove Wolf Security
            wmic product where name=”HP Wolf Security” call uninstall
            wmic product where name=”HP Wolf Security – Console” call uninstall
            wmic product where name=”HP Security Update Service” call uninstall

            result in
            ERROR:
            Description = The request is invalid.

            After combining single and double quotes it seems to work:
            wmic product where “name=’HP Security Update Service'” call uninstall

            I can get you a log file next time, if it helps to identify why it isn’t uninstalled the first time (Sadly, the current one was overwritten before I could save it)

  62. The device comes with Microsoft 365 in three languages. I want to have that removed as well so I can install just the en-us version. Who do I add that to be removed?

    Reply

    • They are proving tricky to remove without slowing deployment times significantly. I am working on options, but for now you can amend your M365 apps install xml to remove anything there previously

      Reply

  63. I added the script to the Scripts and remediations>Platform scripts within Intune and assigned it to a Autopilot Group that I created. So far it has failed 3 times and not sure where in the logs to look answers. Where can I find this information.
    Second question is that the above group also holds other Autopilot computers. Will this script (Once working) keep removing the bloatware each time the system restarts?

    Reply

    • Can you send me the logs from c:\programdata\debloat please and I’ll see what’s failing.

      Platform scripts only run once, but on the odd occasion where a re-run is triggered, the script has logic so it won’t remove something that doesn’t exist

      Reply

      • That location does not exist on the laptop.
        As far as the script running, in Intune, it shows the script failing and list the other devices that I do not want the program to run on.

  64. HI All,

    Since yesterday the script is not finishing for me in ESP. Checked the logs today and it’s getting stuck on step when it searches for McAfee products and it stays there forever. Anybody experiencing same issue ?

  65. Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for this script! I seem to have found a problem: when running on a Lenovo Slim 7, the script seems to kill Windows Hello facial recognition. I’ve tested this on a couple of machines, and the Hello via camera works fine until the script runs, after which it says it can’t turn on the camera for Windows Hello. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Thanks again!

      • I realized after I posted the above that I was running an older version of the script (from July) – so I grabbed the latest, put it into Intune, and reprovisioned the machine. This time, it didn’t break the camera. Sorry I couldn’t test the above fix, but I ran the Get-CimInstance command, and it returned:

        83A4

        Machine is a Lenovo Slim 7 14IRP8 in case you want to make a note.

  66. Thank you! What an amazing resource this is!

    Nearly everything has worked as expected on new G11 HP laptops, there are two exceptions to this.

    HP Security Update Service remains installed until the script is manually run, and in add and remove programs “Z by HP Data Science Stack Manager 1.5.3” is still present too.

    Wondering if there is a way to run it twice during autopilot to make sure the removals fully kick in.

      • Sure thing, I’ve formatted them now but will be doing another test run tomorrow. I did run it this time as an application deployment so going to try the script method instead.

  67. Hi Andrew,
    Thanks for awsome tool, I wanted to ask You and maybe other users too….is anybody experiencing issue with Dell Command Update ? I manage it via imported ADMX and although it detects available updates and installs them after deadline. After some time Dell Client Management service fails to start and CU becomes unusable. Has nybody tested avoiding uninstallation of CU during autopilot build and keeping provided version from the image ? I’m installing version 5.3 calssic as win 32 app during AutoPilot setup but always end up with faulty service which doesn’t want to start after some time.

    Reply

    • I’ve been testing using this script on my Dell devices, in the hope it will remove the couple of version that are shipped with the devices (which it does) to then deploy DCU classic version later in the Autopilot process. However I’m finding that the script is uninstalling my deployed version when I set it as required for the Device based autopilot group.
      Script is set as a platform script. It was my understanding that this shouldn’t happen, as the script should run prior to any of the required apps being deployed?

      Reply

      • If the script it assigned to a device group, it will run during the Discovering Apps phase of ESP which is before any win32 apps. If you are deploying Msi LOB apps, they could have installed already.

        You could always add a custom whitelist for that app as well

  68. Hi Andrew,

    I have been checking the script, and it works awesome together with AutoPilot.

    I do see though that McAfee keeps appearing as the AV in Windows Security, and system tray. The app is removed from add or remove programs and is nowhere to be found. The app doesn’t open either when you click it in the system tray icon. I do see two tasks running in Task Manager which I can’t kill.

  69. Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your script and effort you put into keeping it up to date.

    I’ve been toying around with it and for the most. It works flawlessly. I have however; Ran into a couple of niggling points that I can’t seem to fifure out.

    On most deployments, MS Teams will be uninstalled and I will have to go and re-install it again.

    And, with regards to the HP debloating. Wolf security console and it’s supporting apps are not detected by your script.

    Any assistance or thoughts would be most appreciated.

    • Hi Peter,

      The new Teams app has been whitelisted on the latest version, make sure you have that one deployed.
      I don’t have any HP devices for testing, but if you have the uninstall command for them, I can look to add them in

  70. Hey Andrew!

    Been looking for ways to get rid of all the Dell bloatware on our machines. I had been working on compiling a script myself before coming across this page. Does your script also remove Dell Trusted Device? A particular app I had no luck trying to uninstall via PS.

    That being said, I’d love to try out your script, since it seems to to far more on cleaning up the OS beyond just Dell bloatware! Is it possible to have it only deploy during Autopilot OOBE and not run on existing devices?

    Reply

    • Hi Jonathan,
      I don’t have any Dell devices to test, but no-one has reported an app being left on the device. If it does remain though, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

      You have a few options to just run on Autopilot devices:
      1) Create a new profile for autopilot, create a dynamic group pointing to it and use this for the script
      2) Amend the launch script to only launch if a user account doesn’t exist
      3) Package as Win32 and add a requirements script

  72. Hi Andrew,

    and thank you for the awesome script. After running the script, I saw that the ability to search Domain users in Windows Search got removed. I would like to keep it, but I am not certain what modifications I should do to keep this functionality 🙂

      • Btw,

        I run the script on an enrolled device out of curiosity and it removed my slack and bitwarden. Not my Company Portal though. I see both slack and CP in the $whitelisted apps, so I guess I need to whitelist Slack in a different way? PS didn’t return any appxpackage about slack and bitwarden.

        Thank you

        • Update:

          I found and whitelisted Bitwarden and QuickAssist for myself. For anyone interested, please add these under whitelisted apps:

  73. Hey Andrew!

    Many thanks for your great script which works very thoroughly and thus saves a ton of work.

    I’ve only experienced one “problem” so far with it while testing in my Win11 Pro DELL OEM factory OS image scenario. Leveraging the script during Intune/Autopilot as a platform script as you suggested, the start menu pinned stubs for crap like LinkedIn, Spotify etc. remain in place for the first logged on user. The corresponding apps, however, are in fact uninstalled, but the user can get them back by simply clicking the icons. I would naturally rather have a cleaned start menu.

    Debloat log says “Win11 detected” and “start menu was cleared”. I also have your LayoutModification.json in the default user’s shell folder. It just seems as if it doesn’t get applied soon enough.

    Can you think of any way to circumvent this? As an alternative I have been experimenting with regulating the start menu by utlitzing the “ConfigureStartPins”-CSP, which does work, but as we all know, this constantly overwrites any changes made by the users which is a major disadvantage from the user perspective. I could also ask the OEM to put the JSON into their factory image but I would rather stay independent from them in that department.

    Thx very much in advance for your thoughts.
    Chris

      • Seems like for W11 Ent 23H2 it made all the Public Desktop icons and Start bar active process appear as the generic window with blue rectangle in the middle. Might need to put a check for which version of windows is being used. Can reassign the Public Desktop Icons, doesn’t seem to work for start bar active processes icons (just third-party apps/edge not explorer or other system icons like recycling bin etc)

        https://lazyadmin.nl/win-11/customize-windows-11-start-menu-layout/
        maybe start3.bin?

        Reply

      • Looks like it was also start2.bin on 23H2, if you use self-deploy and assign apps to device prior to the user initial login, those apps will be impacted until the provided “blank” start2.bin was deleted. Don’t exactly know how the bin assigns values to changes made, I haven’t been able to open it in a human readable format.

        Looking at the comment that drove this change, using a w11 Enterprise 23H2 ISO the clear layout seemed to work perfectly, outside of failing to properly unpin store. I think I will likely just comment out that portion of code.

        Reply

        • How are you deploying the script? If its running as a platform script, it should complete before any apps are installed on the device.

          I can add some logic for it not to run that section if apps are installed, but for non-enterprise, that will leave tiktok etc. On the start menu

  76. Hi Andrew.
    First off, great work on this script.

    We’re using it in the following scenario:
    Auto pilot with pre-provisioning.
    The de-bloat is assigned to the device but we don’t list it as a blocking application in ESP.
    It seems to not do anything until the user signs in.
    You can then see the debloat folder populating.

    The only issue we have is with the McAfee removal. The debloat log shows the removal tool running and it the process can be seen as running.
    The log reports successful removal as well.

    However McAfee still shows in the systray and in add/remove programs.
    The McSvcHost is also still running.
    Windows security center also shows the software as installed and running.

    When the laptop is rebooted and the use signs back in McAfee is no longer in the systray, the service has stopped and has been removed.
    All that remains is the program itself in add/remove programs along with McAfee Software Update, McpManagementService and mc-wps-secdashboardservice which are all stopped (set to manual)
    Security center no longer shows it as running etc.

    Is there anyway of making the device reboot once the script has reported as finished so it finishes the removal?
    Any other suggestions?

    The user that signs in is configured as a standard user and cmd and powershell are both blocked by other policies.

    I did try running this as platform script btw. it failed on every device so either I’m not configuring it properly or something else is stopping it at the ESP phase.

    Reply

    • Hi Peter,
      How are you configuring detection for the app? One option would be to tweak the detection so that the script is nearly finished (the McAfee removal tool is probably far enough along). Then you could deploy a second win32 app with a dependancy on the bloat removal which simply triggers a reboot (maybe add a pause of 1 minute to let the other one finish).

      It should work as a platform script though, are there any failures in the debloat log which would be marking it as failed or did it not run at all?

      Thanks

      Reply

      • For detection I’ve used the one you’ve suggested; check that the log file exists.
        I’m just running another one through to confirm that a restart is all that’s needed.

        It’s odd that the removal tool isn’t killing and deleting all the services though or fully removing the software from add/remove programs even after a restart.
        I’ve emailed you a copy of the log file from a machine that we’re seeing this issue
        These are Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen1 laptops.

        As for the platform script I don’t think it even deployed.
        This is how I have it configured
        PowerShell script:
        debloat-intune-script.ps1
        Run this script using the logged on credentials:
        No
        Enforce script signature check:
        Yes
        Run script in 64 bit PowerShell Host:
        Yes

        In a pre-provisioning scenario when would this run?
        Is the signature check causing the issue?

        Reply

        • Could we maybe use a detection script that reads the logfile for “Windows Powershell transcript end”.

          If it’s done writing the log we can use the app deployment to enforce a restart on completion.

          Something like: Get-Content -Path C:\ProgramData\Debloat\debloat.log | Select-String -Pattern “Windows Powershell transcript end”

          • Yes, that should work nicely. I think Win32 is your best bet for pre-prov.

            Sadly with McAfee that tool is the only option available without manual intervention, they don’t make things easy

  77. Hi Andrew,

    We spoke before when we had some issues. We had been using your original version (got it all working) for a month or so. Noticed today its failing on all our devices. I did one before your latest update and it worked no problems but the 3 I tried today all fail. Checked and the reason for the fail is detection method fails. Notice that there is no log file being created (hence the detection fails). Has anyone else reported issues.

  78. Hi Andrew thank you for your awesome efforts to support this community!

    I’ve tried deploying this script via a Platform Script.
    The scripts run fine and populates the log files with a lot of “removed”/”uninstalling” actions, however after execution there are no differences on the desktop for any of the existing users.
    All the appx that was detected as bloatware are still there.

    What could be the issue? I’ve tried running the script manually on a similar machine here it works fine.

  79. Hi Andrew,

    Great script, though I have had mixed results with uninstalling McAfee from Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G6 IRL.

    I have deployed the script many times as Win32 app, but no luck in getting McAfee removed 🙁
    When I look at the log Debloat.log, it looks like the script only detects McAfee, but doesn’t do anything other than that. It doesn’t download the Removal Tools and when i check the folder Debloat it should have the folders of de Removal Tool and that is also empty.

    Here’s the last section of the log. With every deployment it is still the same result. Just detecting it and then no more.

    I can’t figure out why this is happening and still need to do this for 25 other laptops.

    Can you have a look at it again please, why this is happening ?

  80. Hi Andrew- thanks for working on this script. I assume I could just package the RemoveBloat.ps1 modify for my environment and not use the De-Bloat-intune-script.ps1
    Making my install command powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -File “Removebloat.ps1” I’ve had mix results in the powershell windows being shown on the users device. Suggestions?

  81. Hi,

    Thank you so much for putting this script together. I tried deploying this in intune using the debloat-intune-script.intunewin. I think it deployed and ran correctly on a newly deployed machine but it didnt actually remove anything. According to the logs it says it did, here are the logs:

  82. Hi, can you exclude the Dell Command Update app from being uninstalled? The app is needed for my company’s application requirements.

    Reply

      • Hi Andrew,

        I’m having the same issue. Apps in the whitelist still got removed. It just happened this week.(I have been using your scripts for a while and it works great)
        Below is what have in the debloat-intune-script.ps1 script. Is there anything I missed? Wonder why it suddenly start to remove all the whitelist apps.
        Thank you for your help. If you need I can post the log or email you the log.

        ##Populate between the speechmarks any apps you want to whitelist, comma-separated
        $arguments = ‘ -customwhitelist “Microsoft.RemoteDesktop”,
        “Dell Command | Update”,
        “E046963F.LenovoSettingsforEnterprise”,
        “MicrosoftCorporationII.QuickAssist”,
        “Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder”‘

        Reply

        • Hi, Can you try including all whitelist apps inside the same speechmarks, but still comma separated. If that still removes them, send me the log and I’ll see what’s going on

          Reply

  83. Morning – Me Again. So we managed to get it deployed 🙂 and the log is there however it hasn’t removed any apps? Clipchamp for example is still there. Last night we tested running the script locally and everything was removed.

    Removed provisioned package for clipchamp.clipchamp.
    clipchamp.clipchamp not found.

    Sorry to be a pain just really want this to work. Here is the entire log.

  85. Hi,

    Just set this up as a WIN32 app and getting the following error
    0x80070001.

    Been troubleshooting for a day and cannot find anything on it.

  86. I’m having to run this ad-hoc after software is installed and users are logged in as we didn’t remove bloatware during deployment for a while. What section do I need to comment out/delete to keep software installed?

    Reply

  87. I’m not sure what’s happening, but this app strips out calculator, notepad, camera etc even though they are whitelisted by default. Any ideas?

    Reply

  88. Am I being daft or missing something? Shouldn’t the checks for Install and Provisioned Dell apps use notIN, rather than notLIKE when checking against the whitelists? Otherwise the whitelist is ignored unless it only contains a single item.

          • ##Belt and braces, remove via CIM too
            foreach ($program in $UninstallPrograms) {
            Get-CimInstance -Classname Win32_Product | Where-Object Name -Match $program | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName UnInstall
            }

            This also ignores the whitelist so removes programs like Dell Command update too.

            If we remove the contents of $WhitelistApps from $UninstallPrograms prior to this command I think it should resolve this.

            $UninstallPrograms = $UninstallPrograms | Where-Object{$WhitelistApps -notcontains $_}

  89. Hi Andrew,

    I am running the script standalone (RemoveBloat.ps1) with no other scripts or anything calling it (deploying through our endpoint management software we use).

    I am trying to whitelist some apps (Dell Command Update, WaveMaxx Audio software) but the keep getting uninstalled – can you advise why?

  90. Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for all the time you’ve put into this. I’m just looking for this script to only remove manufacturers bloat (specifically Dell but happy to leave the others).

    I’ve made changes to the script and wondering if you can confirm if it will still work after my changes to do the above.

    Cheers,
    Jason C.

  91. I have the script set as a device platform script linked to a single laptop configured to a pre-prov autopilot profile. The issue I seem to be having is that the script actually runs twice I noticed this in doing some debugging and actually put a timestamp into the logfile name in my forked version and yes, it generates 2 separate logs. My forked version of the debloat script is being called directly from intune, without the secondary script for now.

    I can’t see any reason it would be getting called twice during the preprov.

    I’m thinking maybe creating a tag file similar to what Michael Niehaus does with some of his scripts. Checking for the tag file at the start of the script would emulate the detection behavior for Win32apps.

    Can anyone think og why the script would be getting executed twice ?

  92. A curly brace is missing in the Lenovo routine

  93. If I just whitelist ‘lenovo’ will that whitelist anything lenovo? We typically use Commerical Advantage for BIOS updates, et al. However the Lenovo section of the script is lengthy and I don’t want to accidently remove anything my org utilizes.

    Reply

    • The whitelist is an exact match so that couldn’t work if using the custom whitelist option. You could edit the apps listed in the Lenovo section though and amend to your requirements

    The errors mostly seem related to the HKU tree. I resolved some of them by explicitly making a psdrive for HKU, but I’m not a good enuf PS wiz to sort the flush method error out.

      • I’ll see if I can recreate and capture the errors for you.

        I’m running the full script as a now against W11Edu 22h2 on HP laptops during Pre-provision.
        1.Should there be any issue with it running during pre-prov?
        a)Even though this is being run against the factory image prior to any user login, it seems to be sensing either intune apps or a non-admin user and so doesn’t enter the “Other win32 apps”
        b) during the HP debloat it seems to want to pick up and try to uninstall packages that were excluded in the regular windows debloat ?

        Might this have to do with the fact it is running pre-prov so there is no “user” signed in ??

        I’m doing some further debug with some extra write-hosts to try and track the pertinent “trigger” variables.

          • I have all the logs as well as the actions sequence. Can you send me an email I can reply to address with the files ?

            Thanks for all your work !!

  95. Hi Andrew,
    This is a great script !

    I do notice though that the Copilot removal section doesn’t work if $ErrorActionPreference = ‘silentlycontinue’ is removed from the start of the script.

    Is this intentional ?

  96. Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for a fantasic job on your De-Bloat script. It works allmust perfect. It even managed to remove McAfee (except for the Pined Icon on the taskbar – minor detail).

    But it did not manage to uninstall the worst app of them all (for me); Microsoft 365 – en-us (Office) and OneDrive.

    • Hi,
      Glad it’s mostly working! Are you running during OOBE or on already established machines?
      Would it be possible to get the uninstall string for that version of M365 apps?

          • Im now on a Lenovo T14 Gen4 with the supplied “nordic” image, meaning I can choose the language in OOBE – I have choosen english.

            In this situation only the english Office and OneNote was uninstalled.

            I checked your script and run “Get-WinSystemLocale | Select-Object -expandproperty Name” it only returned english.

          • I have downloaded the new script, it uninstalled all 5 Office apps and 2 OneNote (en and da)

            I added some debug write-host and I can see that Office Click to Run was initialised but did not complete correct and are also still running in taskmgr.

          • I have reset the same machine and tried it again, same error as before. Seams like the ClickToRun are hanging.

          • Yes, that is also my perception of the situation

            As mentioned earlier, I added a write host after the individual steps. At the same time I changed your wait from 5 to 30 seconds. But it did not change the situation. Also after the error, I cant initialize a manual uninstall from Add, Remove Programs. I need to reboot and then Im able to uninstall manually. Seams to be a problem with ClickRun, any idears?

          • Just a small update. I changed the script to do the install static, with DisplayLevel True, pr langauge I have in my image:

            1 da-DK
            2 en-US
            3 fi-FI
            4 nb-NO
            5 sv-SE

            I then tried to reorder:

            1 fi-FI
            2 en-US
            3 da-DK
            4 nb-NO
            5 sv-SE

            Now its 4 nb-NO that is hanging. I have tried to close running Clickandrun processes ind taskmgr, restart Clickandrun service. But I cant get it to run again manually unless I reboot.

            Maybe a solution could be to find what processes and services to restart or close in between each uninstall?

            Have you confirmed that uninstalling serveral langagues are working on other PC’s (Brand new models)?

            Thank you for all your great inputs and fantasic work 🙂

          • Do you know of a way to start a powershel script that reboots underway, and continues at the next point after reboot? 🙂

  97. Hello Andrew,
    I am trying to remove bloatware (including co-pilot) from a Dell Inspiron 16 5630 WIN 11 Pro laptop. Does your script perform the removal for “All Users”? I have removed it logged in as “Administrator” but is still present when another user logs on.

    Thank you!

  98. Hello Andrew, in testing to implement your De-Bloat script with our InTune tenant the script is uninstalling “Microsoft InTune Managment Extension” as a final step according the log on our OOBE Lenovo laptops. Specifically the e16’s I am currently testing on.

    This breaks communication with the tenat and stops the applications from installing.
    I have reinstalled the management extension manually and its is removed again by the script, because it never checks in with InTune that the script has already run on this device.

    Its my understanding that the script whitelists Microsoft InTune Managment Extension, so I am at a loss on what could be happening here.

    Reply

  99. Thanks for the script .
    The application was not detected after installation completed successfully (0x87D1041C)

    The above error comes up with the detection rule can you please help .

    Reply

  100. Hi Andrew, First off, thank you, this script really helps clean up new machines. It appears after some updates, etc. some bloatware returns. I would like to run the script again but also target current users, what changes would need to be made for this to clean-up profiles already on the machines?

    Reply

    • Hi,
      It should also work fine on existing machines as I have added keys which loop through all user registry keys to make the changes. I also added logic so it won’t attempt to remove apps which don’t exist to cut down on errors

    Whitelisting – am I doing it right? Seems that some apps I have listed with app* or *app* are still getting removed. Here is a link to my forked version so that I can keep my own whitelist running. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Axxys-Technologies-Inc/IntuneTools2/main/De-Bloat/RemoveBloat.ps1 . I am still testing and creating the list but seems that things I would expect “*ConnectWise*” to cover can still be removed. These are all HPs and surefaces. No dells.

    • Hi,
      You might be better using the $customwhitelist parameter. If not, you need to make sure you whitelist in the HP section as well.

      In terms of order, it does AppXApps, then manufacturer bloat and then Win32 apps.

      If you are deploying as an app, the Win32 removal won’t happen anyway as it looks for the existence of a reg key created during the first win32 deployment. Running as a script runs during the “Preparing Apps” phase so is a bit more powerful

      Reply

      • Thanks for getting back to me. Can you ELI5? I stared with with that but I see results for $customwhitelist on multiple lines and could no figure out where to put my list to make it work. I added the apps to the section at line 296 but that did not work. Adding them down at 1823 whitelistapps started to give me results but was not 100%

        Reply

        • Each section has it’s own whitelist. Your best option is probably to create an array within the script containing your apps to avoid having to amend each line.

          If you are deploying as an app, you can remove the final section as well as that won’t run anyway

          Reply

    • Can you get the AppXPackage name for the Lenovo one?

      For McAfee, I’ve heard the ESET removal tool will remove it, if that works, I can include it in the script. I don’t have any devices with it installed so haven’t been able to test myself though

      Reply

      • ESET av remover worked even though it had a lot of prompts and stuff, but I think it can probably be done silently?

        And about the Lenovo one, I am not able to do it now, but probably someone else can do it before me today.

        Thank you for everything so far

        Reply

        • And a stupid question, what is the use of the locale? If for example I have a program Microsoft.Kamera, then the German will be used for removal or the default English will uninstall it?

          Reply

          • I’ll add ESET with the Lenovo.
            The locale is for changing permissions on files and registry keys as the group names are language specific. Most things work in English

          • Hi Andrew again,

            I run this command: Get-AppxPackage | % {if (!($_.IsFramework -or $_.PublisherId -eq “cw5n1h2txyewy”)) {$_}} | select PackageFullName

            And among the many results, one of them was this: ElevocTechnologyCo.Ltd.SmartMicrophoneSettings_1.1.49.0_x64__ttaqwwhyt5s6t which may be the Smart Noise Cancellation thing. Thank you

      • Hi Andrew, I finally got back on my machine after being away, and after running the command that @John shared, I found this:

        4505Fortemedia.FMAPOControl2_2.1.37.0_x64__4pejv7q2gmsnr

        After further testing, I found out both John’s and mine are Lenovo Smart Noise Cancellation applications, but they differ to that mine was developed by Fortemedia (version and name matches to the app in Settings), and John’s by elevoc. It is so weird…

          • Hi Andrew again,

            I tried to remove McAfee locally from a machine and I got this error: https://imgur.com/a/VNFTERn

            Could this be related to the script failing? So far I have seen in in two machines. I will come back once I find the location on the particular computers, but I do find it interesting.

            Kind regards

          • Hi Andrew, how are you?

            I tried the new version with MCPR, and it was again unable to find McAfee…

          • Yep, I understand. I will look at this, but at that point may be better to ask users to uninstall it.

            I will let you know

            Thank you

          • Hi Andrew again,

            I tried locally on a different machine, and the old (2 year one) zip managed to remove McAfee via your script.

            I will conduct some thorough testing on some Intune-joined (and some AutoPilot) devices and let you know.

  104. Hi Andrew again,

    It run on the test device and even though it said it succeeded with most stuff, I still see Lenovo apps and McAfee (which failed to uninstall). Funny thing is that Intune says it failed.

  105. Hi Andrew!
    Thanks for a great script. I noticed there are already some mentions about Lenovo Vantage but it seems that it is no longer working. We just installed a couple machines with all of them still having Lenovo Vantage installed.
    In winget list Lenovo Commercial Vantage shows with ID: E046963F.LenovoSettingsforEnterprise.
    It shows up in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ and that package name then has a whole LenovoVantage folder full with stuff. CommercialVantage.exe seems to be the application running on the computer and it is ran from that folder.

    And then there is a new bloatware from Lenovo called Lenovo View. ID: E046963F.cameraSettings
    This is also in WindowsApps.

  106. Hi Andrew, and thanks for the script. I am interested in deploying it using the two scripts method but my question is what happens if I want to remove some features from the script such as remove Chrome, and Copilot (basically not uninstall them). Is there a workaround here like editing it and uploading it to a GitHub of mine with the appropriate mentions (whatever you say), or is there a better option?

    Thank you

    Reply

    • Hi,
      There is a whitelist option for some apps, but I would probably create a copy of the removebloat script, change it as required and host it on your own Github,Azure etc.

      Then in the deployment script, download your copy instead of the main one

      Reply

      • Hi again Andrew. I tried the following script (https://pastebin.com/7aDj6W6r) on my machine locally and it worked perfectly, but then I tried it on a (Lenovo) test machine on Intune Scripts and Remediations as a script with name “Name.ps1” and the script running as system and without checking for signature. The script failed and the logs show this (https://pastebin.com/qV78kGCK) exactly below the script. I do not think this is from your side, but I still wanted to ask. Finally, will the two-scripts method work better or they should be equivalent either way?

        Thank you

        Reply

        • Hi,
          The first screenshot doesn’t seem to be working. Is it set to 64-bit?
          Either script method will work, the two scripts just means you can update the bloat script without having to replace the one in Intune (which will trigger a re-run)

          Reply

          • Hi and thank you for the instant response. The first one doesn’t work because it awaits moderation apparently. 😅

            I checked again and I am running on 32bit. Does it make so much of a difference? I will try on 64 and let you know.

            Once again, thank you

  107. I have this as part of my ESP autopilot required apps deployment and for some reason all our new HP dragonfly’s (win 11 22h2) would get hung up in the apps phase of device ESP. After doing some debugging to narrow which app was hanging, it appears it’s the script (though it works fine on our other HP models). Running it manually at OOBE using Shift+f10 shows the issue– through the script completes fine, it ends with an MSI installer syntax pop-up, as if an MSI command was passed that was improperly formatted. The transcript doesn’t really give any clues as it completes, with the only error being the following:

    ———
    Removing Windows 11 customizations
    PS> TerminatingError(Remove-appxpackage): “The request is not supported”
    error 0x80070032

    Reply

      • Let me know where I can send the full uninstall key dump if you need it, but this appears to be what’s failing it. It reaches the app in the transcript and then about ten command windows open up with a blinking cursor along with pop-ups for proper MSI syntax formatting.

      Quick assist is a tricky one as it’s used by some organisations as a free remote assistance app

  110. so, if you use the deploy script, where do you run that? I ran it on my local machine, and it did nothing. I would like to use this, but I don’t want Chrome uninstalled. I utilize Autopilot. And would like to deploy this in Intune.

    Reply

    • The deploy script will create an application in your Intune tenant with the script in it.
      I usually suggest using the debloat-intune-script deployed as a platform script as this will run pre-app install during OOBE

      Reply

  111. Hi Andrew,
    Maybe you can help me, there is a new piece of Lenovo Bloatware on the new G6 devices called:
    Lenovo Smart Meeting
    Its pinned on taskbar and also in the startmenu, and hidden here:
    Local\Packages\E0469640.LenovoSmartCommunication_5grkq8ppsgwt4
    Also there is a service running named Lenovo Smart Meeting
    Its giving issues to remove this later on, possible to remove this with your script?
    Gladly when user start it, its requesting for rights to install it, so thats preventing use for now.

    Reply

  112. Hi,

    Trying to add your debloat script as device script(having issues on Lenovo when I run it as an app, so it must run before app install). Is there also a detection script needed? If yes, can you maybe add one in GitHub?
    Only run once is best I think?

    Reply

    • Hi, you shouldnt need detection for a platform script, they are only for remediations.
      no harm in running more than once but probably unnecessary.

      If you want to run as a remediation, it creates a log file in programdata which you can use

      Reply

  113. Hi Andrew, have finally got this to run properly on a device via Intune using the Intunewin option. However McAfee is still hanging on, despite using the latest version of the script. In the Debloat.log it just says it has initialised everything, are there any other logs which can show the error?

    Reply

    • Sometimes Mcafee needs a reboot to clear completely.
      You could try the application logs in event viewer and see if there is anything listed. It is a constant struggle keeping up with the different versions so it might be worth checking if yours has a different uninstaller which I have missed too.

      Reply

  114. Hi Andrew,
    Is it possible to know why the Xbox application, Skype and other applications like Paint3D and Spotify are still present after deploying the script manually or with intune?

    The script seems to work well because some applications are uninstalled like Zune Music or Disney+ but some are present.

    Everything was working about 3 weeks ago. Thank you.

    Reply

  116. Excellent resource – I’ve got primarily a security question. Is there any way you can make a version of the de-bloat script that has any ‘external’ links or links to github repos removed? To me this seems like a security nightmare. If your github is compromised and the script modified, bad actors can very easily make a change. Then with this script auto-updating and then also referencing other github repos with same issue, just makes me nervous.

    I went ahead and downloaded latest version and commented out any references to downloading or running anything from a github repo. Just looking to save anyone else the trouble.

    Reply

    • I would normally suggest creating a fork for anyone with those requirements. The external links are often tools which the script needs to run so the risk would be the same if I hosted them elsewhere.
      All of the links are to files within the same repo, but you run the risk with any scripts and software from any source.

      I could make a light copy without the links, but if the repo is compromised, it won’t make much of a difference as they’ll just change the script.

      If it helps, I’m the only admin on the account, it’s secured with MFA and protected by GitGuardian

      Reply

      • Appreciate the response – reading through the script there was just a couple thigns that utilized an outside file / source (some HP Stuff and the McAfee and then obviously the double check for most up to date version).

        Was there any that I’m missing that point to an external source? If so – yea I’ll either fork it or download manually.

        Reply

      • exactly like I suggested? So in the “debloat-intune-script.ps1”

        Something like that?

      • Sadly, the list is slightly longer, however they’re not recognized by Intune, went digging through the program files folders. And while the apps above are on the list, they won’t necessarily be removed (for whatever reason) which I don’t believe is the scripts fault per se, more like Dell’s dodgy application development.

  124. Hi Andrew,

    Great script which I have been testing, thanks for putting it together!

    I’m deploying it via Intune as a Platform Script and it is failing on all 4 of my test machines? I don’t see any errors in Intune to understand why. If I run RemoveBloat.ps1 locally it elevates to admin and most of it seems to work fine. The start menu on Windows 11 doesn’t reset though, so I’m trying to manually work around removing the shortcuts it has to the likes of Adobe Offers and Booking.com.

    Could I request you add ExpressVPN and Dropbox promotion apps as well, as these are coming as part of my default install and not being removed.

    Much appreciated!

    Reply

    • Hi,
      Can you check the log file and also the registry to see if there is an error which may be sending the fail response.
      Start menu only applies when a new user logs in, have you configured one in Intune? That will fix it for existing users.
      Can you send over the exact names they display as in the registry/appx and I’ll add them in

      Reply

      • The log file as in the one that gets written to the Debloat directory?

        I have configured a start menu today, have synced and run a couple of reboots but it isn’t picking it up yet. Will keep trying on that one.

        I’m struggling to find it for ExpressVPN, sorry to be dumb on this, but where would I find the names? This is what I find for Dropbox when running the GetAppx command in Powershell:-

I have the latest available version of your script assigned in Intune to all devices, as all the devices are new Windows 11 23R2 systems from Lenovo. I have also added both the M365 Apps for Enterprise version of Teams, and the “New Teams” app apckages to the whitelist. However, while the script is properly removing the built-in Teams client as expected, it also removes the full version of Teams or New Teams that is deployed as part of the M365 Apps for Enterprise package I install on clients as well. The script seems to run after the M365 Apps package installs on sporadic systems. Is there any way to prevent this from occurring, as our users need the enterprise version of Teams (or New Teams if they install it). Any thoughts?

  126. Hi Andrew, thank you very much for the scrupt, the intune deployment worked perfectly for me!

    If possible i would like to request some more apps that i saw left over on my System (guess it is country dependant), in case you would agree its pure junk:

    – WhatsApp
    – Camo Studio
    – LinkedIn
    – Kindle

  127. Having an issue with snip & sketch not working after the script having been run. Is this being removed? I can’t seem to find a line which would be doing this.

    • You beat me to it 🙂
      I’ve added extra logic into the latest version as well to stop it uninstalling anything after login.
      For anyone else reading, lines 1668 – 1758 simply need removing to stop any app uninstalls outside appx, manufacturer bloat and McAfee

  131. Hi Andrew,

    First of all thank you, this is very helpful.
    But somehow the script deletes too much on our endpoints.

    Parts of the Citrix Workspace App.
    Eventhough they are deployed as Win32 apps.

    Can you tell me what I need to comment out so it only deletes the appx packages?

    Thanks again.

  132. We have this set as a platform script in Intune. Which should only run once and not again. This runs during the autopilot provisioning process. Today this script ran again. I know that if the script detects Win32 apps installed by Intune it is not supposed to run. Any idea why it would have ran again. 1 being the platform script running again months later. 2 this script removing apps after we have pushed apps via Intune. Thanks for any input.

  133. Have you had any reports of OneDrive uninstalling on systems running the script? I started getting reports yesterday (11/30/23) of OneDrive disappearing. I checked the Debloat.log and didn’t see anything related to OneDrive, but all systems missing OneDrive had the script run the same day. Everyone is running the latest version of OneDrive: 23.226.1031.0003.

    Reply

    • Hi,
      It shouldn’t do, if it runs outside of OOBE it skips all app uninstalls. I’ve added it to the exclusions list in case it is grabbing during ESP/OOBE just in case. Which OS are you running? I’ll do some testing this end as well

      Reply

      • We have good data on this if you need it. We’ve got a number of machines that for some reason the script ran again as part of an IME reinstall or update, and removed OneDrive, and other apps that had been installed after it ran the first time.

        Reply

        • It looks like a recent intune update has re-installed IME which has triggered scripts to re-run (not something I’ve ever seen before).
          I’ve added extra logic in version 4.1.0 which also checks if a non-admin user has logged into the device before running any uninstalls. Hopefully that will fix it in the future.

  134. Uninstalling McAfee did not work on my Lenovo E16.

    According to the comments I am not alone here, does the uninstallation of MCAfee currently work?

    Reply

    • Can you confirm the version installed and any errors in the log?
      I don’t have any machines with it installed so it’s difficult to test when new versions are released. If you can share the logs, I can see what’s happening

      Reply

  135. Hi I’m looking to run this now via Intune but unsure as to how it should run to newly created devices using autopilot and not affect existing devices. Also since you’ve signed the script does that mean on Intune we can select “Yes” on the option “Enforce script signature check
    “?
    Thanks

    Reply

    • Hi,
      It shouldn’t damage existing devices unless your users are using the bloated apps. There is logic to ignore anything win32 if the device has apps deployed. If you want to be extra careful, you could drop some logic at the top to only run if a user profile doesn’t exist for example.
      Yes, you should be able to enforce a signature check now as it is signed and time stamped

      Reply

      • Thanks for the quick reply. Would that remove bloatware from the existing users as well or for any new users only? The script I’ve configured to use is the debloat-intune-script.ps1 so I presume that logic won’t work unless I used the RemoveBloat.ps1 script?

        Reply

        • It would remove for existing users as well as new users, most of the script is at the system level.
          Yes, you would need to add the logic into the script deployed into Intune (and remove the signed bit as the cert won’t be valid).
          Two other options:
          1) Deploy as a Win32 app with a custom requirement
          2) Create a new autopilot profile and a dynamic group based on the profile name and assign the script to that group

          Reply

  136. Hi,

    so i like the script and running it manually works like a charm. i also tried using it via Intune as a device-Script. What is interesting is, that when the Device-Part of the Autopilot Enrollment is complete (Enrollment Status Page) i get an Admin-Prompt as soon as i enter my Login-Credentials.

    I used the following Settings for the Script:

    PowerShell script
    RemoveBloat.ps1
    Run this script using the logged on credentials: Yes <-Maybe this is wrong?
    Enforce script signature check: No
    Run script in 64 bit PowerShell Host: Yes

    Reply

  137. I’m having to run this ad-hoc after software is installed and users are logged in as we didn’t remove bloatware during deployment for a while. What section do I need to comment out/delete to keep software installed?

    Reply

  138. Hello,
    I’ve been using your script in production for a while now and it’s going very well.
    I used the 4.0.10 script update and added my customizations. Great additions, thanks.

    Suggestion to disable Copilot. Add the TurnOffWindowsCopilot key to the default profile in addition to the users already created, as your script already does.

    I use Windows 11 23H2 media. The script is applied during an SCCM OSD task sequence. The value TurnOffWindowsCopilot is present in HKLM, but Copilot is activated for all new users.

    Also, this strategy is not yet available in Intune’s Profile configuration.

    Reply

  139. Hi,
    Since the last version of the script, we noticed that some services are not starting.
    Also, installing applications gives errors.
    I cannot find anything specific in the log file.

    Any ideas?

    Reply

  141. Hi Andrew

    Thank you for this great Script!

    Is it possible that this script also sets a setting that apps which should manually (user or system context) are not installing or running?

    for example: Teamviewer QS is not starting when i download and run it… just nothing happens no task visible in Taskmanager.

    Regards

    Reply

  146. Hi Andrew i see a lot of cmd boxes popup when running it locally will there be cmd box popup if ran through Intune as scripts ? can these boxes be suppressed i want to fully run the script silently

    also i see that outlook new and get started are not removed. may need to be added.

    Great work other than that love it.

    thanks

    Reply

    • Hi, you won’t see any popups in Intune, it will all run in the system context.
      Getting Started can’t be removed, it’s used by Intune for Organizational messages.
      Outlook new is a tricky one as it’s a requirement for M365 Copilot so I don’t want to remove that one here

  149. Hi Andrew.
    I am getting the Remote Desktop (mstsc) program removed. And we use it for connecting to a Microsoft Remotes desktop farm.
    Is it enough to remove “Microsoft.RemoteDesktop” from the “$bloatware” section?

    Reply

  150. Great script. Truly the debloat to rule them all. We’re only experiencing one issue

    Even though I see nothing to indicate its removal in the log file, the script appears to remove the win+shift+B “MS-Screenclip” protocol handler for the snipping tool on Windows 10 22h2 devices. Reinstalling snipping tool, snip and sketch, etc, using the Store or add-appxpackage didn’t fix it. If you’d hit win+shift+b nothing would happen. If you opened snip and sketch and then clicked “new”, you’d get a pop-up prompting to find an app for “MS-screenclip” in the store, and we block the public store. After much head banging, we found this restored functionality:

    DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Windows.Client.ShellComponents~~~~0.0.1.0

    Any ideas?

    Reply

    • It’s probably Windows Backup. To remove it I have to strip out an entire experience pack which probably includes ScreenClip.

      I’ve added your DISM command beneath the windows backup removal which should hopefully fix it (until MS release a proper removal for backup)

  151. Hey Andrew,
    I ran as a device script on a newly delivered Optiplex Micro w/W11Pro 22H2 in Autopilot and it worked like a champ, especially with all the Dell crap. However, it left a couple things installed that the log shows removed: “Cortana” – I was able to remove it with “Get-AppxPackage – allusers Microsoft.549981C3F5F10 | Remove AppxPackage” (which is the same in the script) and it removed with no errors…so I’m confused why that still showed up. “Get Started” – I do not find in Get-AppxPackage but still showing up on device; I cannot find any way to uninstall it. “Microsoft To Do” – the package name apparently changed to “Microsoft.Todos”; I was able to uninstall using the new name. Lastly, can you add “Microsoft.PowerAutomateDesktop” to the script? That’s a new one showing up.

    Thanks!

    Reply

  152. Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the fantastic script. Should I run it as an app during the Autopilot process, or after as a device script? I’m curious if it impacts the setup speed during the OOBE process.

    Thanks!

    Reply

    • Hi,
      I normally run as a device script as the last section uninstalls anything detected which is not specifically listed, but only if Intune hasn’t started app deployment yet. As soon as the first app installs, it skips that section (in case it runs on existing devices)
      Depending on the machine, it shouldn’t add more than 2-3 minutes onto OOBE

      Reply

  153. Hi, the script works great thanks! We’re removing bloat from our devices now, but we want to keep HP Support Assistant. I deleted HP Support Assistant from the ‘to be removed’ apps, but it’s still deleted after the script ran. Am I missing something here?

  156. Andrew, you are awesome.
    If I want to adapt the script to maintain some apps, should I remove this function: Function Get-ScriptVersion()?
    By the way, I’ve tried it in HP devices and RealtekSemiconductorCorp.HPAudioControl wasn’t uninstalled.
    Thanks a lot.

    • Hi,
      If you are using the removebloat script, you don’t need to remove anything. That will just alert, but won’t actually do anything.
      Can you send me the uninstall string for that one and I’ll get it fixed.

  157. I’m getting the following in the log when the machine is not connected to VPN or on-Site network, I’m assuming this is the SID lookup.

  160. HI Andrew,

    Many thanks for this wonderful tool. I was running an older version till now and no problems. However, since I’ve tried 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 I’m seeing Dell command update to continue showing. (it was supposed to be deleted) When I look a the logs I can see an error when Command update is being uninstalled. Is there anything I can do to fix this? or maybe you could point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance.

    Reply

    • Hi David,
      Can you try 3.0.7 and see if that works any better? It looks like the application has been renamed so it wasn’t picking it up.
      If that still fails, can you email me a copy of the logs and I’ll see what’s happening

  161. Never mind, right click save as before loading into the script pulls it down as 387kb, if go into the file and save it that way, then 57kb. Was jumping the gun :p

  163. Hi,

    Does this remove office 365 that comes preinstalled with w11. We have some issues where our office 2019 std package fails due to it being preinstalled so i would really like for it to get removed.

    Thanks!

  164. Thanks, i’ll try it. Two other questions:

    1- if I want to add Minecraft to the whitelist, how should I write it? In your script, it is written as #”*Minecraft*”.

    2- It seems that when the script is executed on an Intune device, the screensaver or lock screen no longer appears after 15 minutes. I left it open yesterday, and this morning, it wasn’t locked (after 12 hours!) Thank you very much for your help!

    Reply

    • For 1 I would remove that from the bloat list, then run “get-appxpackage -allusers” on an elevated prompt to find the exact name of the one you want to keep (I’m guessing it’s the Edu version), then add that into the whitelist.

      There shouldn’t be anything to block the screensaver in there, could you have an Intune policy in place which is stopping it?

  167. Hello Andrews, thank you for the script. I’ve added Dell Command Update to the whitelist, but it still gets uninstalled. I removed the part of the script that updates the script, but my script changes don’t seem to take effect. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

    Reply

  168. But that registry is already in there, but it doesnt seem to remove the Commercial Vantage from the add/remove programs list, still a under 1mb app left that can be uninstalled.

  169. Andrew, Strong work here. Going to do some testing with this when I get time to read through all the code. Probably go for the removal script VS the auto update as I like seeing what changes between versions. Thanks for sharing.

  170. Remove-Item ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\Commercial Vantage’ -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    This one can you also add so the software to this get uninstalled, it doesnt get removed in the current version.

    All elles Vantage software is removed. By i still have Commercial Vantage installed after running it.

    I’m trying to cleanup an existing environment that was not managed very well for many years and I’m not one of the cool kids with intune. Is it possible to deploy this to existing workstations with active users using SCCM or is this strictly for intune?

  172. I noticed that with the Diagnostic Tracking service disabled you will lose telemetry data into Intune like Endpoint Analytics, Startup Performance, and Application Reliability.

    I setup another script to re-enable the service versus using a one-off version of your great script.

  173. Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for creating this script, sharing it and helping everyone!

    I’m running into issues with HP laptops with “HP Client Security Manager” installed.

    The script stops or is stuck in a loop when attempting to uninstall HP Client Security Manager.

    In the Debloat.log file we don’t have much:

    HP detected
    Attempting to uninstall: [HP Client Security Manager]…
    Successfully uninstalled: [HP Client Security Manager]
    Attempting to uninstall: [HP Client Security Manager]…

    However, when we run it manually in Powershell, we get the following:

    Detecting Manufacturer

    HP detected

    When we try to uninstall it manually it’s asking to preserve user data and then reboot the PC “The setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running. If you choose to continue, a reboot will be required to complete the setup.”

    Please let me know if there could be a way to fully uninstall this one with you script.

    Thanks!

    Reply

    • Hi Martin,
      Would you be able to check if there are any additional parameters that can be sent to the application to force an uninstall without a reboot? I can then remove that from the main array and add it as a separate uninstall command (unfortunately I don’t have an HP laptop for testing)

  174. Hello, thank you for your awesome script, I really appreciate it.

    I ran this script on a Lenovo Thinkbook 13s with W11 and could not factory reset the computer (via Windows Settings, local reset) afterwards.

    It got fixed after I went to Lenovo’s website and installed some software for Lenovo diagnostics. After a firmware upgrade that was installed by Lenovo System Update, I could once again factory restore.

    Just thought I’d share what I learned, as the ability to factory restore a computer from the Windows Settings might be something that’s worth keeping.

  175. Hi Andrew!

    Should this be considered a one time needed script? I’m curious whether I could run this script when we receive the device from the supplier and then rebuilding with our corporate image. Or do we have to rebuild first and then run the script?

    Normally when we receive laptops from suppliers, the bloatware used to go away after rebuild but we are facing a number of devices on which this doesn’t happen after the rebuild so I’m looking into trying out your script for this situation!

    Reply

    • Hi Georgiana,
      Either way will work fine, the only difference is if you run it pre-rebuild, the Windows apps will re-appear. I usually run it during OOBE when building or rebuilding a machine.
      Hope this helps 🙂

  177. Hey first off thank you for this! This is exactly what we need to roll out a bunch of new laptops for our student body! Hoping to understand more how this works. I’ve uploaded the debloat-intune-script.ps1 to InTune. This has created the DeBloat directory in %programdata%, however, as I understand it, it should copy removeBloat.ps1, then start running it to actually remove the bloat. This is not happening in my instance so the rest of the script is failing with the following error basically saying it cannot find the path of the removeBloat.ps1 script. Any assistance would be greatly appreciate! Thanks again!!

    Reply

    • Hi,
      Yes, that is how it should work.
      Do you have any web filtering in place? If you look inside the script it has the location it downloads from so you could try that on a machine to see if there are any errors.
      There are a few other downloads from the repo in the main script as well so if it is filtering or a firewall, it might be worth exempting the whole de-bloat folder in the repo

      Reply

  178. Adding a local whitelist file would be very useful.

    We use ClipChamp to create videos for training, and need to keep reinstalling after the script runs.

  180. I am going to give this a go, but wanted to check before i do. I want to run this in autopilot only as a required win32app but I am not sure how to do it to new autopilot devices only. If I create a new app and make it required, logic says that t will deploy to all machines. If i add to the autopilot profile without the required setting, surely it it won’t execute. Any ideas

    Reply

    • Hi, there isn’t an easy way to target just new devices unless you set a requirements rule that something doesn’t exist (an app in your core apps maybe).
      There shouldn’t be any harm in deploying to existing devices though as it is just removing apps you wouldn’t want on them anyway.

      I tend to deploy as a script rather than an app as that runs earlier in the process and can remove any installed bloat apps like McAfee (it detects if any Win32 apps have been deployed, if it finds one, it skips the removal of installed/non-store apps)

      Reply

  181. Hey, Andrew!

    Thank you for the amazing script. We’ve been banging our heads against the wall for weeks trying to get rid of McAfee for our OOBE/Intune installs.

    I’m sure this has already been addressed, but I didn’t see it anywhere on this page or in the comments.

    We currently have the RemoveBloat.ps1 script running as a PowerShell Script in Intune. You mention the second script in the blog, debloat-intune-script.ps1. Do we run that in addition to the RemoveBloat.ps1, or should it replace it and be the only script we run from Intune under the PowerShell Scripts?

    Thank you again!

    Reply

    • Hi
      Great that you are finding it useful!
      Both ultimately do the same thing, the debloat-intune-script simply downloads the latest version to the host machine and then runs it.
      This gives you the advantage that your machines are always running the latest version without any effort from your side.

      Deploying removebloat directly will work fine, but if you want the latest version you will need to update in Intune which will re-run on all devices (it won’t do any damage, but just worth keeping in mind)

      Hope this helps

  182. Yep! I can see the other taskbar icons that I pinned along with the start menu group I created. So profile definitely applying and according to the debloat logs, it’s deleting the default layout and applying the blank layout, so not sure where the other default groups are coming from.

    Reply

  183. And if I take out LayoutCustomizationRestrictionType=”OnlySpecifiedGroups”, it’ll replace it but users can’t edit the start menu layout anymore? I was hoping your script would clear it so that I can use ‘add’ to a blank layout rather than have to replace it and that other users can’t alter it anymore.

    Reply

    • I’ve just tested it on a Win 10 machine and with a custom layout (which users can customise), I don’t get those two groups.
      Is your custom layout applying ok onto the device?

  186. Hey Andrew!

    Thank you for this script, it’s absolutely excellent.

    I am having some issues with the start menu layout. According to the log, it clears the start menu:
    Clearing Start Menu
    Windows 10 Detected
    Removing Current Layout
    Creating Default Layout

    I am pushing a customised layout for start menu and taskbar from Intune with an XML file. Which does push successfully. However, I can see 2 start menu tiles not added by me, a group called ‘Productivity’ with the photos tile in it and ‘Explore’ with the Microsoft store tile in it.

    The debloat script is pushed to the autopilot device group and script is ran in 64 bit PowerShell Host. I am not entirely sure where the 2 random groups are coming from and I was under the assumption that when your script runs, it would clear it? I am pre-provisioning the laptops before signing in with a user.

    Thank you,
    Jazzy

    Reply

    • Hi,
      In your custom layout you are pushing, are you replacing what is there, or adding to it?
      The de-bloat clears to Microsoft standard layout which I think comes with those two groups by standard.

      Check you have this in your XML:

    Yes, Im running the intune script version, that gathers everything from internet. Its OOBE / Autopilot.

    Most of it is gone, but I still get a popup saying McAfee subscription has ended when it enters Windows for the first time, its a Lenovo laptop. But it looks like a Windows popup. The McAfee toast notification is not showing.

  190. Hi Andrew,

    Deploying the script via Intune to as a required Win32 app, as part of the autopilot setup. We currently have our machines sent directly to users from Dell and the even though the script is marked as ‘installed’ in Intune, I still see teams home edition installed on the machine.

    Any ideas? I know the issue is quite specific.

    Great script btw! The majority of devices have had the script applied and working as should, made my life a lot easier! Thanks 🙂

  191. Hi.

    Trying the script mainly to get rid off McAfee during Autopilot, however it seems to work in part, but the process mfemms.exe is still running. And in Services I can still see lots of McAfee services with error messages and one is running. Checked the debloat log, and the cleanup tool has been run. Any suggestions? anyone else with this issue?

    Otherwise, great script, thanks.

    Reply

  192. I’m not sure if i understand.. We got 50 new Notebooks and want to debloat them while the autopilot-process is running (or after that) I need to deploy the script and after that, there is another script which needs to be running, too? I don’t understand why there are so many scripts/files at github.. intunewim is clear, but i don’t understand the difference between “Deploy-DeBloat-Application.ps1”, “RemoveBloat.ps1” and “debloat-intune-script.ps1”. I thought I need to run the debloat-intune-script.ps1, but it is over 1 year old..

    Maybe you are able to give some information.. Best regards and have a nice weekend!

    Reply

    • It can be confusing, I’ll run through what each one does:
      Deploy-DeBloat-Application – This deploys the script as an intunewin package
      RemoveBloat.ps1 – This is the one that does all of the work
      debloat-intune-script – If you deploy this one, it will download the latest debloat script to the device and then run it. It’s a way to save having to replace the RemoveBloat script every time it is updated

      Hope this helps 🙂

  194. Hi Andrew,

    Just deployed it yesterday, works well, removed most bloatware, except some staff came to us this morning and complained that OneNote for Windows 10 has been removed from their laptops. Can you kindly remove this line 314 “Microsoft.Office.OneNote” on RemoveBloat.ps1 ? Thank you very much.

    Reply

    • Hi,
      You may want to create your own fork and remove it that way. Most people use OneNote that comes with the M365 apps so want the Windows one removed. If enough people request me to remove this, I will do, but it’s used by a lot of people so I need to be careful with the changes.

  196. Hi there,
    I wanted to give you a heads up that there might be an Issue with removing Dell Bloatware around line 1040. It doesn’t seem to check if an app is whitelisted properly. I noticed this when I tried to add SupportAssist to the white list and it was still removed. I’m pretty sure this is because you are checking if the name of each program matches the $WhitelistedApps as a variable rather than checking if the name matches any one of the Strings within $WhitelistedApps. I’m not sure if anyone else has had an issue with this but I was able to fix it by changing it to loop through $Whitelisted apps and check against each element.
    Thank you!

  197. This script is awesome, although I’m noticing it’s removing some Win32 apps that are being installed by Intune. I’ve deployed as a device script to a test group and it reports as failed but it has run. When going through the logs I noticed that it uninstalled the ScreenConnect Client that I deployed as a Win32 app as well as some Win32 apps that were deployed using Chocolatey. Is this an issue with the script or how I’m deploying?

    Reply

    • If it finds anything in here, it should abort any win32 uninstalls, can you check if anything shows?
      HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Win32Apps

      Deploying as a device script during ESP/OOBE is the best way to deploy it so it sounds like yours is setup correctly

  198. Hi Andrew.
    This is extremely interesting. I stumbled upon your site and have read through almost all the messages.
    I was actually after a bloatfree version of Windows as I purchased a mini pc with windows 10 image loaded.
    It just has so much rubbish pre-installed. I quite obviously am not running in a corporate network so Intune is not an option and group policy is not applicable.
    The idea was to just get rid of unwanted apps and junk as the mini is used for streaming and wanting to optimize it for best performance.
    Nice work.

  202. I am testing out the remove bloat script and all of the HKCU pieces are not getting applied since the script is running as the system. Do I need to just separate those registry entries and run them as a separate script or am I not deploying the script correctly? I am deploying as a 64bit script and its set to use system instead of users credentials.

    I am fine with creating a separate script for the HKCU portions but thought I pose the question first.

  203. Hi Andrew,

    Is there a way not to remove dell software (we like to use them for firmware upgrades etc).
    And still continue to use your automatic running the debloat from github?

    • Possibly, if I offloaded the whitelist or check for a text file first.
      What if I added a parameter for a whitelist text file path, if it exists, use that, if not use the defaults.
      Would something like that work?
      Which apps do you use which are being removed? The other option would be a parameter for those particular apps

      Reply

      • Indeed, I think an option Indeed, I think an option like this is mandatory. To give you some context. We also use Dell Command Update (DCU) in our organization. For example, I used Intune to deploy a configuration file for DCU. But once the debloat script was run… everything disappeared. There should be an option to exclude certain applications from the cleanup process. I would find it acceptable to modify the debloat-intune-script.ps1 to add parameters. Yes, the script signature will be removed, but for those who have a PKI infrastructure they will be able to sign the modified script again.like this is mandatory.

        • How would you see it working? A parameter with an array of app names which I then exclude from any loops?
          Not against the idea, but would like to get a feel for how you would see it working

  207. Hello,
    When i run the PS script from intune for Pre-Provisioning in Windows 11 22H2 it seems to work great but all the apps that were uninstalled that live in the start menu don’t get unpinned/Uninstalled and since the apps are uninstalled you can’t unpin them from PS. Was not sure if that is normal or just a new bug for windows 11? The apps that stay are
    M365 (Office), Mail and Calendar, Xbox, Solitaire Kindel, Spotify, WhatsApp, TikTok, ESPN, Instagram, Prime Video, Windows Clock, Movies & TV, and Microsoft Tips.

    • Hi Patrick,
      Those apps aren’t apps, but stubs which install the apps when clicked on. The script should replace the start menu layout, I’ll see what happens on a W11 22H2 box.
      If you are using Intune, I would suggest pushing out a custom start menu anyway which will fix it for all users (I’ve covered it here)

  208. When running the Dell software removal the variables are coming back as empty arrays even though Dell software is installed on the computer. If you only run the matching for $UninstallPrograms or -like “*Dell*”, it fills the array and returns a valid list. I believe the issue is when checking the items matching the $WhitelistedApps.

    The script should be written like this instead:

    $InstalledPackages = Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object {(($_.Name -in $UninstallPrograms) -or ($_.Name -like “*Dell*”)) -and ($_.Name -NotMatch $WhitelistedApps)}

    $ProvisionedPackages = Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {(($_.Name -in $UninstallPrograms) -or ($_.Name -like “*Dell*”)) -and ($_.Name -NotMatch $WhitelistedApps)}

    $InstalledPrograms = Get-Package | Where-Object {(($_.Name -in $UninstallPrograms) -or ($_.Name -like “*Dell*”)) -and ($_.Name -NotMatch $WhitelistedApps)}

    I haven’t used any portion of the other manufacturers so I can’t speak to the validity of code there as I removed it from the script, but it will likely cause the same issue if you are using the same syntax.

    • I’ve updated it now with that new query. Dell was the more tricky one to sort, plus I don’t have any Dell machines here to test on.
      Let me know how you get on with the new one

  211. One thing to keep in mind is that the location service is required if you want to use the locate device function from Intune. This is particularly useful when a device is lost or accidentally left at an airport (speaking from experience).

    We had a user walk away from their laptop bag and board an airplane. We were able to find the device location and contacted the airport to retrieve the laptop at a later date.

        • Seems to be working, thank you! I did notice, even on a clean install of Win11 Azure join autopilot, the Teams Chat icon is still in the taskbar. I can hide this with a config policy, but any idea why the script isn’t hiding that? I ran it manually in a elevated PS windows, and it doesn’t hide/disable it. It’s in the script:

          #Remove Teams Chat
          $MSTeams = “MicrosoftTeams”

          $WinPackage = Get-AppxPackage -allusers | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $MSTeams}
          $ProvisionedPackage = Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -eq $WinPackage }
          If ($null -ne $WinPackage)
          {
          Remove-AppxPackage -Package $WinPackage.PackageFullName
          }

          If ($null -ne $ProvisionedPackage)
          {
          Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -Packagename $ProvisionedPackage.Packagename

  218. Hi Andrew,

    Many thanks for this great script, it’s ideal for use when autopiloting devices. I have noticed in the log that Dell – Extension and Dell, Inc. – Firmware is being removed even though they’re whitelisted. Log extract below:

    Attempting to uninstall: [Dell – Extension – 1.8.2.176]…

    We’ve amended only a small section of your script and have wrapped it up as a Win32 app.

    Any ideas why this would be happening?

    Many thanks once again.

  219. Hey Andrew, thanks for the great work you’re providing. Could you add Microsoft Family to your script? It is now installed with Windows 11 Pro. Thanks, Mike

    Reply

  220. Would it be possible to include a way to add our own whitelisted apps in a local file or something? That way we can leave the automatic download of your script running and we would only have to change the local file.

    Reply

  221. Hello Andrew,
    thanks for the update, hope you had a good start into the new year.

    I finally put the update on my testing machine. The “Microsoft.Todos” wildcard worked and the Game Bar as well as Cortana are now gone, unfortunately WhatsApp, TikTok, Prime Video, Instagram, Adobe Express and Messenger are still there. I tried to alter the script and added these apps with wildcards to the bloatware list like “*Whatsapp*” etc., but it didn’t work. I think it’s because these icons are just links for installing and not the real apps.

    Best regards
    Felix

    • Hi Felix,
      When are you running the script? Those aren’t apps but are just install stubs. If you run the script pre-login, it sets the default start menu for new users.
      If you run it after a user has already logged in though, it won’t update for that user.

      Thanks

      Andrew

  222. Hi Andrew,
    wow – thank you for the quick response. I am right in my assumption that these app removals are applied system-wide and are not user specific? Do you know how windows behaves after bigger updates? Are these apps coming back at some point?

    I’ve tried the updated script, and it works much better now for Windows 11! Looks like Windows Enterprise, love it.

    But there are a few things which are still there:
    – Xbox Game Bar
    – Cortana
    – Microsoft To Do
    – OneDrive

    Would be awesome if you could update your script to delete these too. Maybe even make the “first steps” app as an option for removal?

    Fyi: I want to apply the script within my MDT task sequence. Currently trying to figure out the perfect timing since our domain policy and antivirus program blocks these kinds of scripts, so I have to run it after the installation and before domain join.

    • Hi Felix,

      The Game Bar is tricky to remove, but I’ve just added an update which will hide the gaming Settings menu.
      Cortana should now be removed as well.

      For To-Do, add this to the blacklisted apps at the top: “Microsoft.Todos”

      OneDrive you would have to look through the registry and call the uninstaller, it’s not something I will be adding to the script though as I feel it’s something everyone should be using anyway.

      The apps shouldn’t return after an update as the appxpackages are removed, but nothing is guaranteed on that front

      Thanks

      Andrew

    • did you ever figure out to run via MDT task sequence? It runs for me but not all the bloatware is removed.
      I have it running under state restore after install applications.

  223. Hello Andrew,
    I ran your script locally on my windows 11 22h2 test machine and it succeeded without any error – well it seemed like. Before running, I did alter some small bits of the script, like commenting and uncommenting things we need/don’t need.

    The start menu didn’t change at all, the bloatware is still there like the spotify link, your phone, office …

    So I took a look in the log file, and it first looked okay, but I was wondering what these logs mean?

    “Trying to remove *app XYZ*
    Path :
    Online : True”

    Regards

    • Hi Felix,
      On Windows 11, those aren’t actual apps, they are just stubs which install the apps when clicked on.

      The script replaces the start menu on a Windows 10 machine, but Windows 11 works differently so I haven’t added that yet.

      If you are mananging the devices using Intune, the best option is to set the start menu with a config policy

      Reply

      • Hi, we just used your script for the first time on Win11 et we can confirm that Spotify stub is still present. So far, it look like it’s the only thing that is still present after script execution.

        Thank you for your great work!

    First and foremost, thank you for your efforts – the script works perfectly except for removing Dell Bloatware – none of the Dell crap was removed, – I tested this on a Windows 11 machine.

    Reply

    • Hi, I have just released a new version which I think should fix the issue. I don’t have a Dell device to hand for testing so the names might need adjusting slightly of the apps. I’ll see if I can find a Dell ISO somewhere to spin up a VM

  232. It must be a name change because it is unistalling Windows Notepad. My work around is to have inTune reinstall notepad from the appstore after your script has run by using it as a dependency. Anyway….amazing script. THX for sharing.

      • I think it would be a good idea to be able to pass parameters to the applications we want to exclude from the Deploy-DeBloat-Application.ps1 script, so that we can retain the advantages of always having the most recent version of the script, while still being able to modify what we want to keep.

  234. Hi Andrew,
    First off, thanks for all the work.

    I downloaded all 3 scripts. Which one do I call when creating the devices script? Deploy or Remove, or debloat?

    Thanks again!

    • Hi Frank, the remove script is the one that does the actual removal. The Deploy script is if you want to use my version and have the machines always grab the latest copy. It’s entirely up to you which to use between the two.

      Hope this helps

  236. Hi Andrew, thanks for this. I have a question. I want to keep Chrome on the device so I’ve commented out the sections on your script however how do I deploy the two scripts exactly. I’ve added the RemoveBloat script on intune however no luck.

    Reply

    • Hi Jess, you have two options for this. Firstly you could just deploy the removebloat script directly in Intune and target your devices, but keep in mind that you’ll need to keep updating it as and when we find more bits to remove.
      The other option is you fork or host the removebloat script in your own storage (and Azure blob would work fine) and then change the Uri in the debloat-intune-script to wherever you are hosting the bloat script itself.
      Feel free to drop me an email on the contact page if you need any help deploying them

  237. I am having trouble getting this to work. It has ran on my test PC, looking at the logs it says its removed HP Bloat but its still there, and several other things that I have checked. The surf game is listed above but no mention of this on the log file.
    The HP bloat that is present is HP audio control, hp pc hardware diag, hp power manager, hp privacy settings, hp quickdrop, hp support assistant, hp system information and myhp
    This script would be perfect for our needs if we can get these bits sorted, many thanks.

      • That’s sounds like it hasn’t deployed properly. Is the script in the ProgramData\DeBloat folder?
        Did it run in the System context as a device targeted script?

    When i use the Deploy-DeBloat-Application.ps1 script i get some error messages that the create New-DetectionRule is not recognized.

    Is this due missing modules you are using, if so which modules do you use ?
