1. Right-click the Start button and select Windows Terminal (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin).
2. Paste the following command and press Enter:

ps: c:\users\admin> iwr -useb https://git.io/debloat | iex

3. This will launch a script with a GUI interface.
4. In the menu that appears, click “Remove All Bloatware”.
5. The tool will begin removing unnecessary apps one by one, streamlining your system in just a few minutes.

💡 Why This Works
