# Windows-ISO-Debloater
[](https://github.com/itsNileshHere/Windows-ISO-Debloater/releases/latest)
An easy-to-use and customizable PowerShell script designed to optimize and debloat Windows ISO by removing unnecessary apps & components. Helps to create lightweight, clean ISOs for streamlined installations. Ideal for improved system performance and full control over Windows installation customization.
## 🧪 Tested Versions
The script has been tested with:
- **Windows 10**: Version 22H2 (Build 19045.3757)
- **Windows 11**: Version 24H2 (Build 26100.1742)
⚠️ **Should work with other versions too**
## 🚀 How to Use
1. Launch PowerShell as **ADMINISTRATOR** and execute the following commands
```{powershell}
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process 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 Options
Package removal can be customized by modifying the following sections of the script:
- Packages to remove
- Features to remove
- Registry tweaks
## ⚙️ Using 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."
