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.
WinSwift is a lightweight, highly modular PowerShell engine engineered to instantly declutter, customize, and harden Windows 11 without requiring any installation or permanent background services.
Whether you are provisioning enterprise workstations, configuring a dedicated competitive gaming rig, or simply reclaiming your privacy from invasive telemetry, WinSwift executes rapid, surgical strikes on OS bloatware.
WinSwift operates entirely in memory using standard PowerShell protocols. It takes a backup snapshot of your state, parses your configuration, and surgically removes or alters OS components.
