How to remove all the bloatware apps from Windows 11?
To learn how to permanently remove bloatware, you must go beyond just uninstalling apps for your current user account. Simply using Get-AppxPackage *appName* | Remove-AppxPackage will only remove the app for the currently logged-in user.
For a truly permanent removal, you need to target the "provisioned" packages that are installed for any new user account. This is the key part of how to permanently remove bloatware.
1.Remove for Current User: First, remove the package for your current profile using the following command in PowerShell (run as Administrator):
powershell
Get- AppxPackage *appName* | Remove- AppxPackage
Replace *appName* with the name of the app you want to remove, such as *xbox* to remove Xbox-related apps.
This method is a core part of the standard technique for how to permanently remove bloatware, as it directly interacts with the Windows app management system. It is far more complex and offers more control than the standard Settings interface, as it requires precise command-line knowledge to identify and remove specific application packages.
