How to Debloat Windows 11 24H2 Safely: The 2026 Manual Guide (No Custom ISOs)

Don't trust custom ISOs? Here is how to manually debloat Windows 11 24H2 to boost FPS and reduce RAM usage without breaking your system updates

We talk a lot about custom operating systems like AtlasOS on this blog. But I get it—some of you are paranoid. You don't want to reinstall Windows, and you definitely don't want to download a modified ISO from a stranger.

You want the performance boost, but you want to keep your official Windows License and security updates.

Good news: You can do it manually. Here is how to debloat Windows 11 24H2 safely in 10 minutes.

1. Step 1: The "Clean Install" Trick

If you are setting up a new PC, select "English (World)" as your region during setup.

The Glitch: This tricks Windows into thinking you are in a region with strict laws, so it won't install TikTok, Instagram, or Candy Crush automatically.

2. Step 2: Remove System Apps via PowerShell

Don't use third-party tools if you want to be 100% safe. Use Windows' own terminal.

Right-click Start > Terminal (Admin).
Copy-paste this command to remove the "Get Help" and "Feedback Hub" bloat: Get-AppxPackage *feedback* | Remove-AppxPackage (You can find the full list of safe commands on Microsoft’s documentation).

3. Step 3: Disable "Recall" (The AI Spy)

Windows 11 24H2 introduces "Recall," which takes screenshots of your screen for AI.

Action: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Recall > Turn Off. This saves disk space and privacy.
