Launcher downloads

641,535 downloads of Get.ps1 for this release, as of October 30, 2026. That file is only fetched by the one-liner, so this is a lower bound on use.

#Which download method to use

#Method 1: the one-line launcher

Open Windows PowerShell or Terminal. Running it as administrator is optional, because the launcher asks for elevation itself. Paste this command and press Enter:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://debloat.raphi.re/")))

Here is what that one line does, step by step. We read the launcher's code (Get.ps1 from 2026.08.24) and watched the network on our test machine to confirm it.

1. You run the commandirm "https://debloat.raphi.re/"irm is Invoke-RestMethod. It downloads text, and [scriptblock]::Create(…) runs that text as a script.
2. debloat.raphi.re redirects to GitHub301 → github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/releases/latest/download/Get.ps1The short domain belongs to the project. It is served by Cloudflare and only points to the Get.ps1 file attached to the latest release.
3. Get.ps1 asks GitHub for the latest releaseapi.github.com/repos/Raphire/Win11Debloat/releases/latestIt reads the release's source archive address. With -Dev, it takes the unreleased master branch instead.
4. It downloads and unpacks the release%TEMP%\win11debloat.zip → %TEMP%\Win11DebloatLeftover files from an earlier run are deleted first. LastUsedSettings.json, logs and registry backups are kept.
5. It starts Win11Debloat as administratorpowershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Win11Debloat.ps1 -Verb RunAsWindows shows a UAC prompt. Any switches you added to the one-liner are passed on. The launcher window minimizes and waits.
6. When you close Win11Debloat, it cleans upkeeps Config, Logs, BackupsEverything else in %TEMP%\Win11Debloat is removed. Your registry backups stay there in case you need to undo.

To pass options, add them after the command. For example, this applies Default mode without any questions:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://debloat.raphi.re/"))) -RunDefaults -Silent

#Method 2: the release ZIP

1. Open the latest release on GitHub

   Go to github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/releases/latest. The release page shows 2026.08.24 and its changelog.

2. Download “Source code (zip)”

   Scroll to Assets and click Source code (zip). The only file uploaded to the release is Get.ps1, which is the launcher, so the source code ZIP is the full script.

3. Extract it

   Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All. You get a folder named like Raphire-Win11Debloat-f431c56 or Win11Debloat-2026.08.24. A short path such as C:\Win11Debloat avoids path-length and permission problems.

4. Run Run.bat

   Double-click Run.bat and accept the UAC prompt. It opens Win11Debloat in Windows Terminal if you have it, and in Windows PowerShell otherwise. If the window flashes and closes, start Win11Debloat.ps1 from PowerShell instead (method 3).

#Method 3: run the downloaded script from PowerShell

Use this method for command-line switches, for scripts, or when Run.bat does nothing. Open PowerShell as administrator, then:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
cd C:\Win11Debloat
.\Win11Debloat.ps1

-Scope Process allows scripts only in this one PowerShell window. Your system's execution policy is not changed. The how-to-use guide walks through every screen after this point.

#Check that your copy is genuine

Win11Debloat is not code-signed: Win11Debloat.ps1 has no signature block. You check it by where it came from and by its hash. These are the SHA-256 hashes of the official files for 2026.08.24. We computed them on Windows, on the files the launcher really downloaded:

To check your own copy, run this in the extracted folder and compare the result with the table:

Get-FileHash .\Win11Debloat.ps1 -Algorithm SHA256

#Copies to avoid

Win11Debloat's popularity attracts look-alikes. None of the following are official. We are not saying they are malicious, only that you cannot check them against the source.

• Anything ending in .exe. The project has never shipped an executable. A "Win11Debloat.exe" was built by someone else.
• Re-uploads under other GitHub accounts. Forks are normal on GitHub, but several copies rank in search results. Before you download, check that the address bar says github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat.
• Download portals and "free download" pages that host their own copy of the ZIP. They lag behind the twice-monthly releases and may bundle installers.
• Translated or "CN" builds on Gitee or GitCode, which people search for as win11debloat-cn, win11debloatcn-v2 or win10debloat-cn. Whatever the name, these are unofficial. The official script is adding its own translations, with 13 interface languages, Chinese among them, coming in the next release. Check any copy against the SHA-256 hashes above.
• One-liners that do not use debloat.raphi.re. A copied command pointing to another domain runs whatever that domain serves.
• A different tool called "Windows Toolbox", which Neowin reported as containing malicious files. It is unrelated to Win11Debloat.
