I have tested most of these types of programs and have sorted out two that are very safe and easy to use. There are quite a few programs that provide a method for users to get rid of unwanted apps but the majority are quite clumsy, not at all intuitive, and have the potential to cause serious issues if not used correctly.

I’m going to introduce you to two free and portable solutions that will help you get rid of unwanted bloat. Some of the included apps can be useful but certainly not all included apps are going to be useful to all users. Ever since Windows 8, Microsoft has exacerbated this problem by insisting on including certain apps in its operating systems and, with the advent of Windows 10 and 11, the situation has only been getting worse. In this article, I’m going to take that a step further and show you how you can easily get rid of unwanted bloatware. Fellow author Jim Canfield touched on the issue of manufacturer’s bloatware in a recent article, Preinstalled Crapware.
