Hey everyone, I'm on the hunt for a comprehensive list of all the bloatware apps found in Windows 10 and 11, complete with app identifiers. The challenge is that each client I'm working with has a different set of bloatware installed, so I can't just extract a full list from any single device. If anyone has resources or links where I can find this info, I'd really appreciate it!

I've actually come across scripts that take a different approach—creating an allow list instead and removing anything that's not on it. It seems like a cleaner way to handle bloatware. There's an article discussing this with a script you might find useful!
Hey! You might want to check out some resources online. A quick Google search for 'Windows debloater script' can lead to some helpful options. For instance, there's a GitHub repo by Sycnex that includes a Windows 10 Debloater. It might have what you're looking for! Just keep in mind the last commit was a while ago, so check for any recent updates or alternatives.
Have you thought about reimaging the systems or doing a clean update? That could help you standardize the bloatware situation across your clients.
It's pretty frustrating how tied down Windows is with all this bloatware. A lot of companies feel stuck with it. Just want to see a cleaner OS, you know?
Yeah, I noticed that too. But still, it could give you a solid starting point!
