# Windows ISO Debloater Script

## Overview

A PowerShell script to automate the debloating process for Windows ISO images. It removes specified packages, features, and performs various system tweaks to create a streamlined Windows installation.

## Prerequisites

- Windows OS

- PowerShell

- Administrator privileges

## Tested Versions

This script has been tested with:

- Windows 10 version 22H2 (Build 19045.3757)

- Windows 11 version 23H2 (Build 22631.4037)

Should work with any other versions too

## Usage

1. Launch PowerShell as **ADMINISTRATOR** and execute the following commands

```{powershell}

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

iwr -useb https://itsnileshhere.github.io/Windows-Iso-Debloater/download.ps1 | iex

```

*Alternatively, you can manually download the script from [here](https://github.com/itsNileshHere/Windows-ISO-Debloater/releases/latest) and execute it using PowerShell with **ADMINISTRATOR** privileges.*

2. Select Windows ISO from the dialogue. Follow the instructions.

3. The ISO will be generated in the same directory where the script is located.

4. To whitelist a package, simply comment out its name in the script.

## Customization

Package removal can be customized by modifying the following sections of the script:

- Packages to remove

- Features to remove

- Registry tweaks

## Oscdimg

The script downloads "oscdimg.exe", used to generate the ISO, from Microsoft's website. If you have any doubts, you can download it using the following steps:

1. Download the "Windows ADK" Package from [Microsoft](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install).

2. Run the setup. During installation, only check the "Deployment Tools" option and continue the installation.

3. After installing, navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg". The "oscdimg.exe" file will be located there.

4. Copy the file and paste it alongside the script."
