Much like Windows 10, Windows 11 comes with bloatware, which is a term for apps and software that come with the PC that you never use, taking up space. With ThisIsWin11, you can customize Windows 11 features and remove unwanted bloatware in one go.

This app has the following features:

By using these apps, either on their own or together, you can take Windows 11 from just another version of Windows to being your own tailor made experience.
