- I Made an App that KEEPS Windows 11 Debloated & Optimized
In this video, I'll show you a demo and overview of my new app called Winhance, the Windows Enhancement utility! Winhance is a utility that can be used to debloat and optimize Windows 11 and keep it that way. Although Winhance is developed for Windows 11, most functions and implementations will also work on a fully updated version of Windows 10 22H2.

If you've tried out Winhance, leave a comment saying on which version of Windows and if it worked for you or not. 😃
Brother, your install method isn't great. Its cumbersome and unsafe. Permanently setting your execution policy to unrestricted is not a good way to run ps1 scripts from the internet.
You should create a command shortcut for people to use that will use "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass" rather than permanently changing the execution policy. That way, the execution policy will be bypassed for that process only, rather than permanently changing it.
The following will serve as the link to your powershell script. It will bypass the execution policy for that process as well as automatically run it as Admin.
Just create a new shortcut on your pc, paste the following into the target, give it a name and hit finish. Then upload the shortcut to your repo.
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Start-Process powershell.exe -verb runas -ArgumentList 'irm github.com/memstechtips/Winhance/raw/main/Winhance.ps1 | iex'
Don't forget to change your install instructions to simply be "download the link and run it".
This way is so much simpler and way safer than your way.
Otherwise, its a nice little script man. Keep working on it.
@@memstechtips yes all working properly and secure 🔐 very easy to use and amazing work
dude all good i want one thinng to be sure in this is that
every user has its own windows settings that u are tweaking with optimization section accoring to their usage and needs
can u add option like to take backup of current settings (after customization and personal prefered windows settings )and restore is need for that settings
does this work also on windows 10?
@@impopio4987 yes
This is a pretty solid start to Winhance considering that it's the first release. Can't wait to see this tool mature even more in the near future.
I'm glad you like it so far. We'll see how it evolves in the future 😁
@@memstechtips How will it "evolve"?
Outstanding! Very nice first release!
I would suggest having a more granular system in the future. It would be great to have the option to remove individual features from the Useless Bloatware pack. By default, it could remain grouped as it is now, but there could be an additional section allowing users to pick which specific features to keep or remove. If some features are dependent on one another, they could be listed together with a brief explanation of why this is.
The same applies to the Optimization section. For example, selecting Gaming Optimization could automatically select all related optimizations, but expanding that parent section would allow users to uncheck specific optimizations they want to keep.
Keep up the good work!
I agree with this, I used this app and love it. The one feature I use very much is the phone link, and everything else could go.
@@wahgah71 This just proves the point that what is useless to a person might be useful to another, so having more options would benefit all.
hope this will add soon..
What an incredible app. Even in its first release, it is better and more transparent than all other debloater apps.
If I can give any input would be make the useless bloatware part a little more modular, as in my case since i have a.d.d. i use sticky notes a lot, sound recorder for quick things i don't want to forget when I'm doing something, and the classic paint for quick edits of pictures and stuff. Just remember what might be useless to you, might not be for everyone, and out of curiosity why is under useless and delete powershell? besides that looks awesome.
up
just came down here to say that same thing
I do actually use some of the stuff on there (sound recorder, alarms and clock, solitaire, media player, and camera just feels weird to remove) and I would really appreciate being able to remove some of the stuff on there without removing stuff I actually use
I use powershell a lot to administer client setups at Microsoft
Agreed, have it either open up a new window to select things, or make it another tab. I realize he's trying to make it as easy and user friendly as possible, but useless apps is not really a one size fits all thing.
oof, losing powershell is a big mistake. very useful
Man... That looks brilliant if nothing less, kudos for making it open source :) I will definitely try it out on my next install.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and observation about the theme in general. I always struggle with these new versions and linux isn't really up for many of tasks of my.
Thanks man 😁 Let me know if you like it once you've tried it out.
I agree that I'm also not ready to move to Linux, hence why I'm working so hard on these projects.
I used your winstall for win11 on my new build. Pretty damn sweet. This is for music production so the debloat is perfect. Thanks!
I'm glad you found my projects useful!
This looks awesome! Great idea! You should also make it able to be automated so you can run it as a Windows service for enforcement. Deploy a Winhance MSI silently during OS install along with a JSON configuration file that sets the settings and puts it in place. This would provide both a UI experience and a mass deployment experience.
You are very kind, sir. I just wanted to let you know that I primarily work with Linux, but after watching your video, I am more than happy to give Windows a try. I sincerely appreciate all your hard work-thank you again, and please take care.
we have a winutil competitor. Competition is good both both development and users.
This is not competition.
Open source for the win
winutil is much more advanced than Winhance but it (and Chris Titus) is a huge inspiration to me to work on my own projects.
Winutil also provides way more functionality when it comes to installing software, creating presets and also troubleshooting Windows issues and repairs.
I don't know if I'll add all of those things to Winhance, I created it to compliment my UnattendedWinstall project and to give people a GUI to reverse or reapply settings, but it evolved into a little more already.
Anyway, I believe both utilities have their place.
@@godsbattlefr
True you only make stuff for can help all people using it thanks for sharing your amazing work with people @@godsbattle
..and all contained inside a single PS1 script, super impressive stuff! I know many people who would greatly appreciate this tool, thank you so much for this.
Windows in 2010's: Keygen & Activators.
Windows in 2020's: Debloaters.
Thank you brother, i have been searching how to uninstall windows apps for couple of days. I used your app for windows 10 and it was working well
You've put alot of work into this and it looks amazing will definitely try this on my other PC as well, I'm impressed that if Edge or others get reinstalled, they just get uninstalled after a restart, Magic
Magic huh?
Why need "magic", should the operating system not respect the user to begin with?
LMAO
@@unconnectedbedna MS being the father of Windows doesn't respect its users but people who try hard to fix the problems with windows deserve all the respect you've got
@@christop_bader ofc, never said anything about that. What I question is why not just switch to an os that respects the user... ^^
I just now used Winhance on a test rig Beelink-mini-piece-of-shit that I don't use any more cause it's a Beelink mini.....works GREAT! Thank you so much. Y'all some kinda genius, Mr. Memory. Thanks again.
I suspect this will be a super popular project. Thank you so much!
The problem I've run into with all of these tools is the built in windows dependencies. One example is if you remove the store, all of the xbox apps stop functioning.
I also wanted to add i have had some issues with other apps losing functionality when removing edge
Bro, I am a tech and avid windows user. I love you.
I never saw any software like this and I think I will follow you consistently InshaAllah so that I try your softwares. Thank you for this software!!!!!
It's my pleasure
When you said "everything has been unpinned, except the file explorer", i really felt that. This is great.
The fact that we have to resort to a 3rd party app to get a light weight system we want to use is just... i don't know why we tollerate this from Microsoft.
Because 99% of people are too lazy or stupid to figure out Linux or create a non bloat win iso for themselves.
@@belvederebaileycambodiawe should have to do these convoluted bullshit thigns. windows shouldn’t be this goddman annoying but it’s the only mainstream for weird apps
Because there's no other option, and no Linux is not a replacement for Windows. I agree though it's ridiculous we need to resort to these measures.
This is a quite solid first release. I'd recommend one extra feature though. Instead of showing what it'd do with an i button, the options inside i button should be user clickable. Means, for example, in game optimization, I might want everything else disabled but not the storage sense. I should be able to do this.
This is great, one reccomendation would be to have some sort of "advanced mode" for the optimize tab. Some of the things I would want it to do like scheduled disk defragmentation for example. I wish there was a way to manually select things it does or doesn't do
It'd be better if you exploded the 'useless bloatware' into separate items. It's up to the user to decide what they think is useless.
Yep I'm adding that in a future update.
I have been hesitant about upgrading to Windows 11 because of the negative reviews that have appeared on it, mainly on all the bloatware. You are on top of your game and I am now ready to make my move from 10 to 11 with the absolute necessity of adding WinHance.
Even if I find shortcomings in your app I will still be comforted by the fact that you designed it to give the user freedom of choice rather than being unwillingly, optionlessly shackled to a greed-based beast that wants to devour you whole. Buy hey, Microsoft can’t be all bad or why are we still with it?
So you don't mind recall then?
Because no matter what anybody does, recall can not be removed. It is a dependency for explorer.exe
Id advise on not ever using windows if you can.
For personal computer i use linux mint but for work i have to use w11 garbage because of autodesk.
W11 is such a garbage its nuts how garbage it is.
@@prezlamen7906 Don't know what autodesk software you use, but I can run inventor on a virtual machine, and with gpu passthrough I notice no difference in performance.
This is life saver for me because I reinstall windows a lot for "some reasons". It would take less efforts and time.
Thanks a lot, will definitely try this after Win10 reaches EoL. Also, I looked at the source code, and huge respect honestly. When I was a sysadmin, I also wrote powershell scripts for program removal and silent installs, and it's not the frendliest language. :D 10k lines of powershell is actually insane.
Not if you use AI...
Not saying this IS made by ai, but at least I have my suspicions after glancing at the script.
Why is the indentations sometimes 4, sometimes 8, sometimes 16 etc etc...
Just sayin', be really careful when running stuff like this that:
1. requires admin previleges
2. Written by ONE guy or AI, and came out very recently
3. Zero git history, just one big mega file uploaded to github.
You do you, but I would be very careful before it has been tested extensively.
@@unconnectedbedna Good point. I am 100% sure it's AI assisted, or put together from other codebases, and that's perfectly fine, because you can't really develop in PowerShell/VBScript/batch without them. Somehow there's little to no documentation available, especially for these Windows specific features, and the syntax is god awful. The most common way people use PS is to embed C# .NET code inside. But then you could just build a .NET binary for 4.X Framework, which all WIn10/11 machines have, or can install automatically. Or just build it AiO.
Anyways, I'll try it one day, my Windows machines doesn't matter, I only use them for gaming. I am running totally separate Mac and Linux machines for work. So if this script bricks a win install, doesn't really matter. And I highly recommend anyone to stop using Win for anything other than having fun. It's a terribly slow and unsecure OS, getting worse and worse. The fact that these tools are needed in the first place is diabolical. It's the worst OS out there, and it's the only paid one. It's only kept alive by enterprises with boomers who can't learn to use macos/linux, or depend on ancient software only available for Win, or too lazy to migrate away from AD.
So I looked through it and some of the things you classify as bloatware are very important. Like the camera app is what allows you to use inexpensive cameras and microscopes and a lot of tools like that without needing to seek out some specific software. I've heard some people saying it uninstalls powershell. Seems like its removing a lot of stuff thats actually very useful.
This is a powerful utility but I think users should be able to select the bloatware they want to delete, what’s useless to you is important for someone else
OMG, I needed this tool so badly. Thank you for creating such an amazing tool.
a suggestion for the tweaks is to make the category drop down with individual entries when clicked on the header, I understand why you did it like this and it surely is simpler like this but for nutcases who want to customize things having the ability to select/deselect individual things.
You're a legend, and I love you make tools that actually make Windows and Mircoshit less annoying! :D Thank you!
This is dope, i may actually ditch the security risk of custom debloated iso for this. Both have pros and cons. And the biggest con of ghost spectre is that it could become compromised if it isnt already
intelligent and congrats on your qpp launch. great start and waiting for your amazing updates on it
Warning: if you have Accessibility Options checked off, it WILL disable your sound. It took me a bit to isolate that problem, but that was it! Otherwise, awesome!!
Thanks for the info! Are you sure it's the accessibility settings and not the services that was disabled?
This is absolutely great stuff man! I'm a Linux user so I don't really have a particular use for it, but I will definitely use it on my family's computers.
This is awesome, thanks for creating this utility!
Glad you like it!
Thats actually pretty good man!
This looks great the only issue I see is in Remove Windows Apps if you remove something it doesn't show it has been removed so you have to remember. And if you want to install it back it works the same as removing it by checking the same box. That is confusing. How does it behave if you "Select All" but some are already removed and some weren't? Will it invert the removal status?
Maybe make them all unchecked by default and keep them checked only if they were removed so when you want to get them back you just uncheck the box and click the button again. And when clicking "Select all" invert the selection status. Also rename the button from "Remove Apps" to "Run" or "Proceed" or "Go" or something. I hope I was clear enough.
This looks great! For the first edition, it looks clean and well thought out.
Thanks, brother. If this really does remove Edge, I'm all for it! ...And the SAME for Copilot, & One Drive.
Please keep us posted on the progress of this app.
The bloatware option needs to be completely granular, giving the option to choose items to remove or leave. The .xml answer file is still better for this.
Tried it on Win11 24h2.
Dude, thank you for making all of this free🙏🏼I will definitely be checking it out.
Awesome app. Must have been a lot of work!! If I may suggest a video topic: How to stay in full control of default apps on Windows 11. It seems that windows always forget my default apps for various file types
Thank you so much for this, it's an amazing tool. I hope to see more of this kind of work from you.
Solid, but i have an issue, my windows search options don't work anymore!!! ??? Plus i think u added camara as a useless bloatware but I'm using a laptop and i need it . I can always download it yes, but it would be nice to have a toggle options. Please help address the windows search!!!
Great work! Straightforward and even easier to use than the CTT tool!
omg! Salute bro.. such an excellent work!! 🔥🔥
Very good idea, but I use some of the "useless bloatware" so can we get an advanced option where we can select not to uninstall certain things?
Keep an eye out, I will add that in a future release
Will try this later on my Laptop. I got one small Feedback already:
Its cool to have a one click Option to remove all bloatware or enable all Explorer tweaks. But it whould be even cooler if the user is able to change what he thinks is bloatware and what he still wants on his PC.
I hope the Tool gets that feature in the future!
Otherwise a very nice Tool!
wow good job mate. Insane work keep it up🙌🏽
Ty Mem making this Tool it's get very hard when debloat dosen't work right the first time
This is blowing up, everyone needs this when setting up a new pc
Good to find this and great project! Maybe on next releases we can be even more selective on what to disable/uninstall like not select everything from the gaming optimization list, services or even the bloatware list
Leaving comment, so yt algorithm will show this video to more people, good job
Seems very good. I don't even have windows 11 yet, but will be forced to with next pc. This software is gonna come in handy
You are a genuine legend.
Thanks so much 👊
This is INCREDIBLE. Much safer than installing custom ISOs
Thanks 🙂
@@memstechtipsone suggestion i have is to let us select what we want to enable or disable on the optimizations page! The description shows what each one is doing but its all or nothing, it might be nice to check boxes for which ones we want to change :)
Bahahahah I LOVE IT!!! 02:21 USELESS BLOATWARE!! I LOVE IT!!! That made me laugh so hard! The sense of humor is wonderful!!!
Excellent! Looks pretty good to me. I’m going to try it.
Sweet solution, but I would say that time stamping your scheduled tasks as April 1st is a bit.... just saying :)
😂... now Im gonna have to check it, just in case. April 1st indeed.
i CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH YOU HAVE REALLY WORKED HARD ON THIS. WELL DONR BRO. I HAVE A SUGGSTION, CAN YOU PLEASE extend the legacy features so that we can be selective
I really appreciate how you explain every step very clearly at a comfortable pace, on each video. Very refreshing and appreciated. Love your work. Great teacher, we do learn stuff on this channel. Keep up the good work my friend. Salute from a pc enthusiast and gamer of 59 years young. 🧐🤘👌
Things which are must after a Fresh Install :
1. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
2. sfc /scannow
Something I'd like to see is the option to replace powershill with CMD, and also remove Terminal. When I still used windows, that was one of the reg tweaks I would always have to do after a new update.
I run apple but have a few windows boxes. This is an amazing tool, great work!
Nice job. I really like the scheduled tasks.
Excellent work! Thank you for creating this app.
Finally a good youtube recomendation
What would be the main draw to this vs CTT's for example? i get that you have more in the tweaks sections but for CTT there is a level of trust he earned over the years of developing that tool.
My non-initiate brain just defaults to "I'm sure I've seen some of these gaming/optimization tweaks floating around the web for years, so why hasn't CTT added them too?". I'm guessing CTT is more conservative with the changes, valuing stability vs 5% FPS gain but on a system that might need a reinstall if some of the tweaks break and cause problems after an update or something.
Not trying to start beef or fanboy over other people's optimization tools. I'm just trying to see your reasoning for "forking" vs recommending a tried and tested already existing optimizer.
very wild cool to be part of your community
Amazing job, dude!! I'd just wish it was more modular, being able to let the firewall installed just to mention one.
I'm happy to say that i subscribed just for this announcement from the last video ❤
Great tool! But after using it, my Steam and Valorant/Riot Client won’t open. Anyone else facing this? Is there any guide to fix this ? Thanks!
I also use Steam to play CS2 and I applied literally everything in the tool (except Disabling Security suite) and I don't have any issues with launching Steam, so I'm not sure what's causing that.
@@memstechtips First of all, I appreciate your tool, it’s great! I didn’t uninstall Outlook, but I did remove Edge and some other software using your tool. Then, when I opened Outlook, it seemed like some file was being downloaded (not sure if it was from Edge or Outlook). Also, when trying to launch Valorant, I got an ms-gaming-overlay popup message, and it didn’t open on the first click. Additionally, Steam is not opening either. Maybe this is an issue with my system.
Id like to be able to select what "Useless" software I want to keep instead of all or none
Very nice utility!
Glad you like it!
I hope this will beat cris titus tool someday. jokes a part! you guys are making windows use more fun without any microsoft shit. love the project!
this app is so strong bro !!! keep updating it ! make it a stable and final version !!! it will go crazy
Looks great! Gonna run this on my recently installed windows. Thanks for all the work!
Would be great to be able to click on something and pick and choose what you want. For example I would like the gamig optimization, but I also want to keep VRR.
Great workkk...., This will become very handy..!!
If you can add a prolie setting, That we can export/import the exact sttings as we want, That would be very useful..!!
Cheers mate.!
You & CTT are solely carrying Windows PowerUsers. If it wasn't for you guys I would have been forced to move to linux. Linux has it's place but debloated windows has some good functionalities too!
Thanks ❤❤
He’s just copying CTT tools to make an app, nothing else.
@tahfizhabib I still stand corrected
Very nice work!
Awesome stuff but is it just me or doesn't processes go down below 100 anymore? I used to be down to like 70 but after a clean install It's at 102?
would be nice to have a "cleanup" option to clean cache and all short of crap generated by the system itself and also to delete backups.
Nice looks more simple compared to Chris Titus script. I'll keep this in mind when that Windows Update icon lights up.
How do you even do this as a solo person 😭 You and Chris Titus are doing gods work!
But you can't just remove some bloatware you have to remove all that is in your program correct ?
Some I may want.
Hi sir
Some of us out there who are using old computers and laptops which don't support windows 11 ( All kinds of versions) how can we be able to use the Winhance software in to have a very smooth running system.
I will appreciate your reply sir .But you really put in alot hours in creating the program bro Big up
Does this download the app to your pc so you can use it whenever you want, I didn’t see an icon on your desktop for the app.
Great job amazing stuff very cool using it all working great and probably l using it today thanks for you keep making amazing stuff for help people you and Chris Titus the best making great job
Allow removal of Notepad & Terminal, but maybe under a section of Not Recommended.
On the Optimization screen, allow us to [Yes] or [No] each change, instead of a blanket Disable of settings under the (i) mouseover.
Thanks for the input I'll keep that in mind
Can you add an option to select what stuff "useless bloatware" and other things stays or goes? Like, optional removal of individual things from that list, preferably broken up into selectable categories, that would be awesome.
Also add disabling telemetry, that one is a must!
For windoz updates, it would be nice if you add that 24H2 *NOT* be installed on updates. Will you add that? I know this can be set in the Registry, (as I did)!
hi! i wanted to ask why does dark mode not look the same as the video, yours looks more "colored"
Congrats, excellent product.👍🇦🇺
Thank you! Cheers!
I see Paint in the Useless Bloatware info bubble but it also has its own selection. Who wins? Personally I use it for editing occasional screenshots (because it's fast and does the job) so would keep it, given the choice.
New Paint has its own checkbox, old legacy Paint is the one that's part of the bloatware checkbox.
I'm making a checkbox for each app in the next update.
how to get this?
Thanks for your effort. Appreciated ❤.
Thanks for your support! ❤️
Thank you, have to say your Unattended install scrip files is my daily use for installing windows on new systems. Kodus for you!
Why camera would be bloatware?
