Clean Up Windows 10

Share on:

In this article, we will clean up Windows 10. This will include debloat, startup
maintenance, system tweaks, and privacy settings. These 3 stages are broken down
below and will help maintain a healthy Windows 10 system. I’d recommend re-running
these steps every 6 months.

Step 1: Debloat Windows 10

We will be utilizing PowerShell to clean up Windows 10 and get rid of a bunch of

useless bloat that is included with it.

Download PowerShell Script

Run PowerShell Script

iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://git.io/debloat'))

Note: This will remove many apps in the Microsoft Store. Games, Office 365 and
things that utilize the Microsoft Store. If unsure, use the customize blacklist and
only tick the boxes of things you want to remove! _Source:

Step 2: Clean Up Windows 10 Startup

Launch Task Manager and then click the startup tab. You need to disable any
unneeded programs from here.

Launch Task Manager

Changing Startup Programs (Advanced Users)

You can change startup programs from Start – Run – shell:startup and Start – Run –
shell:common startup

shell:startup

shell:common startup

You can also modify startup programs using registry editor HKCU or
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrrentVersion\Run

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrrentVersion\Run

Cleanup Task Scheduler, as it accumulates many things that cause an install to be

slow and is vital when you clean up Windows 10.

Step 3: System Tweaks and Privacy

There is literally hundreds of settings in Windows 10 that are privacy concerns and
why I’d recommend using a 3rd party software for this. However, you can do all the
same tweaks by simply going through settings and doing all these manually. That
said, I recommend using O&O Shutup10 for optimal tweaks and privacy.

I also tell everyone to use the recommended settings as the other settings can have
unintended consequences.
