Notice: WinSwift is an enterprise-grade, rebranded fork of the open-source project Raphire/Win11Debloat. All original credits and core architecture concepts belong to the Raphire team. We have implemented our own unified build system and UI adjustments to suit strict organizational needs.
WinSwift is a lightweight, easy-to-use PowerShell script that allows you to quickly declutter and customize your Windows experience—no installation required! Remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, strip out intrusive interface elements, and reclaim your operating system.
WinSwift uses a robust PowerShell execution engine with strict error handling and UAC elevation to apply modifications safely.

We've overhauled WinSwift to keep up with the latest Windows 11 updates (24H2 and 25H2), focusing heavily on protecting your privacy from new AI integrations and telemetry.
- The Ultimate AI Purge: We now actively hunt down and disable Copilot, Windows Recall, Click to Do, and generative AI features embedded in Paint, Notepad, and Photos.
- Ironclad Privacy: We've introduced a dual-layer telemetry block. WinSwift now disables tracking services at their root and applies hardcoded Firewall and HOSTS rules to prevent Windows from phoning home.
- Unattend Generator: Building a new PC? Use our built-in XML generator to create a Windows installation file that entirely skips the Microsoft Account requirement and OOBE tracking screens.
- Ad-Free Experience: We've expanded our ad-blocker to target the newest promotional banners Microsoft injected into the Settings app and File Explorer.
Warning
Great care went into making sure this script does not unintentionally break any OS functionality, but use at your own risk! If you run into any issues, please report them on our Issue Tracker.
Run the script directly from our raw GitHub repository using PowerShell.
- Open PowerShell or Terminal.
- Copy and paste the command below into PowerShell:
$f = New-TemporaryFile | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name + '.ps1' } -PassThru
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BiosSystem/WinSwift/master/WinSwift.ps1 -OutFile $f
& $f
Remove-Item $f -Force(Alternatively, you can download the script and run it manually)
- Wait for the script to automatically download and launch WinSwift.
- Carefully read through and follow the on-screen instructions.
This method supports command-line parameters to customize the behaviour of the script. Please refer to our Wiki for advanced parameters.

Tip
All changes made by WinSwift can easily be reverted, and almost all removed apps can be reinstalled through the Microsoft Store. Visit our Wiki for reversion instructions.
Clean up your Start menu by instantly removing pre-installed bloatware (like TikTok, Candy Crush, and OEM manufacturer apps) in a single click.
Take back control of your data. We disable background diagnostic data collection, activity history, targeted advertising IDs, and app-launch tracking. Your PC should serve you, not advertisers.
Not a fan of Microsoft's new AI push? WinSwift completely neutralizes Windows Recall snapshots, Copilot integrations, and AI-driven suggestions across Edge, Paint, and the OS workspace.
Squeeze every drop of performance out of your hardware:
- Gaming Mode: Automatically switches your PC to High Performance, lowers network latency for multiplayer games, disables mouse acceleration, and prevents background maintenance tasks from interrupting your match.
- Competitive Esports Mode: For the hardcore players. Unlocks the hidden Ultimate Performance power plan, forces ultra-low system timer resolutions (0.5ms), and fine-tunes CPU/GPU scheduling to eliminate micro-stutters.
- Defender Exclusions: Automatically tells Windows Defender to ignore your Steam, Epic, and GOG libraries, stopping real-time antivirus scans from slowing down game loading screens.
Microsoft has started putting ads inside the operating system itself. We turn them all off. Say goodbye to Lock Screen promotional banners, Start Menu suggested apps, and Settings app "tips".
We turn off unnecessary background services that eat up your RAM and slow down your hard drive, such as Windows Search indexing and Superfetch, making your desktop feel much snappier.
Close dangerous loopholes that malware loves to exploit. We disable outdated protocols (like SMBv1 and TLS 1.0) and block common attack vectors like AutoRun and Windows Script Host.
Setting up a new PC? Check a few boxes and let WinSwift automatically download and install your favorite essential apps (like 7-Zip, Brave, VLC, and Discord) without you having to click through a single installer wizard.
Curious about what WinSwift actually does under the hood? Turn on Dry-Run Mode to safely preview all the changes without actually applying them. When you do run it for real, you'll get a clean summary report of exactly what was modified.
