Versions:
PyDebloatX 1.12.0, published by Teraskull, is a lightweight open-source utility designed to streamline the removal of pre-installed Windows 10 applications that many users consider unnecessary. Operating within the system-tweaks category, the program presents a clear checkbox list of every default UWP package—from 3D Viewer and Candy Crush to Xbox Game Bar and Mixed Reality Portal—allowing administrators and privacy-focused individuals to select only the items they want gone and remove them with a single click. Because it relies on PowerShell commands that Windows itself exposes, PyDebloatX performs uninstallations without modifying core OS files, making the process safer than manual registry edits and reversible through the Microsoft Store if an app is needed later. Typical use cases include debloating new laptops that ship with vendor bundles, preparing reference images for corporate deployment, reclaiming disk space on low-storage tablets, and tightening the attack surface of kiosk or gaming rigs by eliminating dormant packages that might request background permissions. The 1.12.0 release refines the underlying Python code for faster enumeration of installed packages and adds a progress indicator so users can track batch removals in real time, while still requiring no installation itself and running portably from any USB drive. Although only one version is officially catalogued, the MIT-licensed project accepts community pull requests on GitHub, ensuring that incremental fixes can be merged quickly without waiting for a formal numbered update. PyDebloatX is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
