Heya, That's this one: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/blob/master/Regfiles/Undo/Enable_Show_More_Options_Context_Menu.reg Edit: This file has since been renamed. It can now be found here: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/blob/master/Regfiles/Undo/Enable_W11_Style_Context_Menu.reg |

Hello, thanks for the good work! I noticed two things after using the installation script: 1. In Explorer, the options menu (three dots) scrolls upwards. It is then no longer usable in the full-screen window. 2. When calling up the settings, it takes a few seconds until the main page is displayed. Update: Maybe its caused by the 24H2 Update or the combination of both :)

Heya, the menu options moving outside of the screen seems to be a Windows issue, it also occurs on my test machine where the script wasn't run. As for the explorer homepage loading slowly, this also seems to be a longstanding issue with Windows 11. I have noticed that it is especially slow if you have a NAS or some other network drive setup. |

Heya, I'm not sure how this could be caused by the script. I did find some threads with people talking about a similar issue where a service was disabled for some reason after a Windows Update. See: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/cant-access-power-settings.19296/ In short: Make sure the |

Your suggestion was correct. By enabling the sensor service, I am able to access the power settings. Thank you very much. I am very happy that there are still great people like you on the internet. Thank you. |

After using debloat, it becomes impossible to use Phone Link, it says "Some of these settings are managed by your organization." What is a way to use debloat, but keep Phone Link working? |

This is strange, I am an avid user of Phone Link myself and I haven't run into this issue myself. This would require a specific policy to be set which Win11Debloat doesn't do. Did you use any other scripts or tools? |

The computer was recently formatted, I only used debloat and activation via massgrave, however, I managed to resolve it with the tutorial in the link below, from Microsoft's own forum, I ran all the codes in the CMD and it worked again. |

Please check if the game bar application is actually installed. You can download it from the MS Store here: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NZKPSTSNW4P |

Hi there, I recently ran the script without reading it thoroughly, and I have to open the Microsoft Store to access Disney+ now because if I search for it, it's like the app doesn't exist on my PC. This is driving me nuts. Can someone help me revert this, please |

This is a strange one. I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Disney+, that should automatically add back the entry that Windows Search uses. |

This guide will show you how to revert any of the changes made by Win11Debloat.
Reinstalling Apps
Nearly all applications removed by Win11Debloat can easily be reinstalled through the Microsoft Store or via their respective websites. Alternatively they can also be reinstalled via WinGet. To my knowledge the only apps that cannot (easily) be reinstalled are the
Microsoft Storeitself and theXboxSpeechToTextOverlay.If you removed the Microsoft Store itself please refer to this guide to reinstall it.
Restoring the Start Menu
You can manually restore the pinned apps in your start menu using the backup created by the script.
To do this, please follow these steps:
start2.binandstart2.bin.bak. First, renamestart2.binto something else, likestart2.bin.oldstart2.bin.bakfile inside the folder to duplicate it and name the copystart2.binRe-enable Bing Web Search
Bing Web Search in Windows Search can be restored by running the
Enable_Bing_Cortana_In_Search.regfile that is provided by the script, You can find it by navigating toWin11Debloat>Regfiles>Undo. You can alternatively download this registry file here.If your Windows Region is set to a country within the EEA (European Economic Area) you may also need to reinstall the Web Search from Microsoft Bing app. Ensure this app is enabled in the Windows Search settings.
Please note that you may need to sign out of your user account or restart your PC to apply the changes.
Re-enable the Home and Gallery Sections in File Explorer
Win11Debloat adds an option that allows you to show/hide the Home and Gallery sections easily via the File Explorer folder options. These can be found by simply searching for
File Explorer Optionsin Windows Search. You can also access them within File Explorer by clicking the three dots in the top bar.Once opened, navigate to the view tab and scroll all the way down. Here you can find the toggles to show/hide the Home and Gallery sections. If you don't see these options, please use the method described in the next section.
Please note that you may need to sign out of your user account or restart your PC to apply the changes.
Reverting Other Changes
All of the other changes can be reverted by using the registry files that are provided with the script, these registry files can be found by navigating to
Win11Debloat>Regfiles>Undo. Alternatively these registry files can be individually viewed and downloaded here.Simply run the registry file that applies to the setting you want to revert, and you're done!
Please note that you may need to sign out of your user account or restart your PC to apply the changes.
