In this blog post, we will show you how to tidy up Windows 11 and get rid of bloatware using some simple methods. You will learn how to uninstall pre-installed applications, disable startup programs, clean your registry and more. By following these steps, you can make your Windows 11 PC faster, smoother and more secure.

Uninstall preinstalled applications

One of the easiest ways to tidy up Windows 11 is to uninstall apps you don’t use or don’t need. Windows 11 comes with many pre-installed apps, such as Skype, Xbox, OneDrive, Microsoft Edge and more. Some of these apps may be useful to you, but others may be unnecessary or redundant.

To uninstall pre-installed applications, follow these steps:

– Open the Start menu and click on Settings.

– Click on Applications in the left sidebar.

– Click on Applications and Functions in the main window.

– Scroll down the list of applications and find the ones you want to uninstall.

– Click on the three dots icon next to each application and select Uninstall.

– Confirm your choice by clicking Uninstall again.

You can also uninstall applications by right-clicking on them in the Start menu or on the desktop and selecting Uninstall. However, some applications may not have this option, so you will have to use the Settings application instead.

Disable startup programs

Another way to tidy up Windows 11 is to disable programs that run automatically when you start your PC. These are called startup programs and can slow down startup time and consume system resources. Some of these programs may be essential to your PC’s functionality, such as antivirus software or drivers, but others may be optional or unwanted.

To disable startup programs, follow these steps:

– Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.

– Click More details if you see a simplified view.

– Click on the Home tab at the top.

– Scroll down the list of programs and find the ones you want to disable.

– Right-click on each program and select Disable.

– Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

You can also enable or disable startup programs using the Settings application. To do this, follow these steps:

– Open the Start menu and click on Settings.

– Click on Applications in the left sidebar.

– Click Start in the main window.

– Move the switch next to each program to enable or disable it.

Clean your registry

Another way to tidy up Windows 11 is to clean your registry. The registry is a database that stores information about your system’s settings, preferences and installed programs. Over time, the registry can become cluttered with invalid entries, errors and remnants of uninstalled programs. This can cause performance problems, errors and crashes.

To clean your registry, you will need a third-party tool such as CCleaner or Wise Registry Cleaner. These tools can scan your registry for errors and fix them automatically. They can also back up your registry before making changes, so you can restore it if something goes wrong.

To clean your registry using CCleaner, follow these steps:

– Download and install CCleaner from its official website.

– Start CCleaner and click on Registry in the left sidebar.

– Click Search for problems and wait for the scan to complete.

– Click on Troubleshoot selected problems and choose whether you want to back up your registry or not.

– Click Fix all selected problems and close CCleaner.

You can also use CCleaner to clean up other junk files on your PC, such as temporary files, browser cache, cookies, and so on. To do this, click on Cleaner in the left sidebar and select what you want to clean. Then click Scan and run cleaner.

Conclusion

If you follow these methods, you can tidy up Windows 11 and get rid of the bloatware on your PC. This will help you improve the performance, speed and security of your PC. It will also free up some disk space and make your PC more organized.
