Installing

Pre-built binaries are available from the releases page.

PyDebloatX installer is also available from the Windows Package Manager Winget:

winget install --id=Teraskull.PyDebloatX -e

Shortcuts

• CTRL R - refresh the list of installed apps.
• CTRL S - view links to apps in Microsoft Store.
• CTRL G - visit the GitHub page.
• CTRL A - view the "About" window.
• CTRL Q - quit the app.

Features

• Intuitive design allows to easily navigate through the GUI and uninstall apps with a few clicks.
• It is not possible to break the OS using this tool. All listed apps can be reinstalled with Microsoft Store using the "Store" sidebar tab. Apps like Edge or Cortana are deeply integrated with Windows 10, so they cannot be easily uninstalled without creating any issues.
• The GUI does not require elevated administrator privileges to run. It also does not save registry entries.

Dependencies

• PySide6
• requests
• packaging

Usage

git clone https://github.com/Teraskull/PyDebloatX

cd PyDebloatX

pip install -r requirements.txt

cd pydebloatx

python app.py

Building

Run setup.bat to build the executable.

Run setup-portable.bat to build a one-file portable executable.

Translating

Run the following command to create the translation file:

lupdate gui_main.py gui_about.py app.py -ts Language/[locale_CODE].ts

Where [locale_CODE] is written with an underscore, instead of a hyphen. For example, en_US.

List of locale codes is available here.

To compile .ts into .qm, use linguist.exe:

pip show PySide6 | findstr "Location:"

Splice the output path above with:

"\PySide6\linguist.exe"
