Microsoft: Remove Default Store Apps in 25H2
— Belim (@builtbybel) July 4, 2025
Me: Already did #NAppClean. GUI. Custom rules. No PowerShell. 25KBhttps://t.co/9iyMmNvtZ0#microsoft #windows11 #windows10 #server #app #bloatware #gpo #25h2 @Mister_MDM pic.twitter.com/OKLMgj9dma
This is the first public drop of NAppClean.exe, a tiny standalone bloatware removal tool originally built as an internal helper for CrapFixer. Soon, NAppClean will be available as a standalone utility inside CrapFixer making it faster than ever to just target app bloat without touching anything else.
NAppClean.exe — Lightweight GUI app (~<100KB), no installation required
PolicyPatterns.txt — Your rulebook for detecting and removing unwanted apps
Supports: Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2025
Source will be released soon after some more refactorings
UPDATE
I've now statically linked CrapFixer, and NAppClean has become even more powerful not just for admins, but also for home users, acting like a policy editor even on Windows Home editions, and now handling almost everything CrapFixer can do, on top of removing apps.
Place both files NAppClean.exe and PolicyPatterns.txt in the same folder and you're ready to go
