PyDebloatX

A Python GUI for uninstalling the default Windows 10 apps.

Shortcuts

• CTRL R - refresh the list of installed apps.
• CTRL S - view links to apps in Microsoft Store.
• CTRL G - visit the GitHub page.
• CTRL A - view the "About" window.
• CTRL Q - quit the app.

Features

• Intuitive design allows to easily navigate through the GUI and uninstall apps with a few clicks.
• It is not possible to break the OS using this tool. All listed apps can be reinstalled with Microsoft Store using the "Store" sidebar tab. Apps like Edge or Cortana are deeply integrated with Windows 10, so they cannot be easily uninstalled without creating any issues.
• The GUI does not require elevated administrator privileges to run. It also does not save registry entries.

Dependencies

• PySide6
• requests
• packaging

Translating

Run the following command to create the translation file:

lupdate gui_main.py gui_about.py app.py -ts Language/[locale_CODE].ts
