Default Settings
Win11Debloat's Default Mode allows you to quickly and easily apply the changes that are recommended for most people. This includes removing many annoying distractions, disabling telemetry and tracking and optionally uninstalling a wide range of apps.
You can apply the default settings quickly by selecting Default Mode in the menu, or in the Custom Setup by ticking the Default apps and Default settings options under the Quick Select menu. You can even bypass the graphical interface all together by running the script with either the -RunDefaults or -RunDefaultsLite parameter. Using the -RunDefaults parameter will apply the default settings and remove the default selection of apps. While using the -RunDefaultsLite parameter will apply the default settings without removing any apps. Example:
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://debloat.raphi.re/"))) -RunDefaultsTip
You can modify the default settings by editing the DefaultSettings.json in the Config folder. Click here for more info.

Important
Editing the DefaultSettings.json file requires that you have the script downloaded locally. This method will not work if you use the quick method to automatically download & launch the script for you.
The default settings used by the script are defined in the DefaultSettings.json file that is found in the Config folder. You can edit what features are included by editing the Value that corresponds with the setting you want to change. A value of true means the setting will be applied, a value of false ensures that setting will NOT be applied.
For example, if you wish to add the settings for aligning the taskbar to the left and enable dark mode, you add the TaskbarAlignLeft and EnableDarkMode settings to the DefaultSettings.json file, with a value of true.
This would look something like this:
{
"Version": "1.0",
"Settings": [
...
{
"Name": "TaskbarAlignLeft",
"Value": true
},
...
{
"Name": "EnableDarkMode",
"Value": true
}
...
]
}
For a full list of all supported settings, please refer to the Features.json file found here.
Important
Editing the Apps.json file requires that you have the script downloaded locally. This method will not work if you use the quick method to automatically download & launch the script for you.
The Apps.json file, which can be found in the Config folder, is used by Win11Debloat to determine what apps it can remove and which of those apps are removed by default.
To change what apps are removed as part of the default selection simply open the Apps.json file in a program like Notepad or Notepad++. Then look for the app(s) that you wish to change. If you want the app to be removed as part of the default, ensure that the SelectedByDefault field has a value of true. If you don't want the app to be removed by default, set the value of the SelectedByDefault field to false instead.
