01.The Problem: Your PC isn't yours
When you install Windows 11 today, it comes with over 70 pre-installed applications. From 'Disney+' to 'Clipchamp', and telemetry trackers ('DiagTrack'). This isn't just annoying; these apps run in the background, consuming your CPU cycles and allocating RAM that should be going to your game.
⚠️ Security Warning
Before you start, create a Restore Point. Press the Windows key, type 'Create a restore point', and save the current PC state. If you remove something wrong (like the Store), you can go back.
02.Method 1: Manual Cleaning (The Basics)
Before using complex scripts, let's remove the visible trash.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
- Search and uninstall without mercy:
- Everything 'Solitaire', 'Candy Crush', 'TikTok'.
- 'News', 'Weather' (if you don't use it), 'Tips'.
- 'Cortana' (it's dead, but the file is still there).
- 'OneDrive' (if you don't use it, it's one of the biggest performance villains).
03.Method 2: Surgical PowerShell (Advanced)
Many apps don't have an 'Uninstall' button. For those, we use PowerShell as Administrator.
# Press Win+X > Terminal (Admin) and paste one by one:
# Remove Xbox Game Bar (If not used)
Get-AppxPackage *xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage
# Remove 'Phone Link' (yourphone)
Get-AppxPackage *yourphone* | Remove-AppxPackage
# Remove Maps
Get-AppxPackage *maps* | Remove-AppxPackage
# Remove All 'Built-in' Apps (Extreme Caution!)
# Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage (Do not run without knowing what fits!)
04.Method 3: Disabling Useless Services (Services.msc)
Services are programs that run invisibly. Disabling the right ones frees up a lot of RAM.
- Connected User Experiences and Telemetry (DiagTrack): The Windows spy. Disable it.
- SysMain (formerly Superfetch): If you use an SSD, it can cause unnecessary writes. On HDDs, leave it on.
- Windows Search: If you never search for files via the start menu, disabling this recovers heavy disk usage.
- Print Spooler: No printer? Disable it.
