About

I know there are a thousand ways to uninstall modern Windows 10 apps. Here is the One Thousand and One with Bloatbox! This was intended as a small extension for my app Privatezilla^[5] to uninstall specific apps. Since I didn't want to bloat Privatezilla unnecessarily (those who know me know that I am a friend of small apps and lean code), I have now made this available as a standalone app.

This code is based on parts of this nice project from ConditionalException. Some inspiration has also flowed from this ugly guy AppManager by Microsoft but on Windows Forms 😏^[6][7]

Download

Community package

The community package for Bloatbox adds support for several advanced scripting features based upon PowerShell, e.g.

• Reinstall of all built-in apps
• Removal of specific pre-installed apps
• Uninstall of OneDrive
• Unpinning Startmenu tiles
• Disable of Windows Defender (NOT recommended! I can highly recommend using Windows Defender on consumer versions of Windows 10)
• Blocking telemetry via firewall and host files. Rules are provided by crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker^[8]

Check also the Marketplace for new script files^[9]

Script files provided for Privatezilla or my older app SharpApp are fully compatible with Bloatbox. You will find some on my site here^[10][11]

All scripts included to the latest package can be viewed here^[12]

How-to Install

• Download^[13] the latest bloatbox_pkg.zip file.
• Extract the package to Bloatbox installation directory
• Restart Bloatbox
