Notice: WinSwift is an enterprise-grade, rebranded fork of the open-source project Raphire/Win11Debloat. All original credits and core architecture concepts belong to the Raphire team. We have implemented our own unified build system and UI adjustments to suit strict organizational needs.

WinSwift is a lightweight, easy-to-use PowerShell script that allows you to quickly declutter and customize your Windows experience—no installation required! Remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, strip out intrusive interface elements, and reclaim your operating system.

WinSwift uses a robust PowerShell execution engine with strict error handling and UAC elevation to apply modifications safely.

Run the script directly from our raw GitHub repository using PowerShell.

1. Open PowerShell or Terminal.
2. Copy and paste the command below into PowerShell:

$f = New-TemporaryFile | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name + '.ps1' } -PassThru
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BiosSystem/WinSwift/master/WinSwift.ps1 -OutFile $f
& $f
Remove-Item $f -Force

(Alternatively, you can download the script and run it manually)

3. Wait for the script to automatically download and launch WinSwift.
4. Carefully read through and follow the on-screen instructions.

This method supports command-line parameters to customize the behaviour of the script. Please refer to our Wiki for advanced parameters.
