Check out the project at GitHub for details on Windows 11 debloat.
Usually trying any kind of clearing tool can cause issues you won’t notice for years. Later, when you face an odd problem that takes hours to fix, you’ll realize it was a Windows clearing script from Github long ago. Give it a try, but back up your data and be ready to reinstall.
+1 People don't trust Microsoft. But for some reason, they trust a random guy that puts up some random code on github. You can "debloat" manually and then you know what was done and how to undo it. Those automatic scripts may be outdated and not work with new W11 updates (or break things). Or they turn off features you need. You need an example? i use o&o-shutup. Some weeks later my wife complained Hulu doesn't work. I found out location sharing was disabled. And allowing location sharing was grayed out. it took me days to find out how to undo what o&o-shutup did. There is very little actual bloat. Most things actually are needed. and you don't know it is needed, before you find something doesn't work. People first blame W11 for bloat. Then they use multiple of these "magic tools". Then some features are broken, then the same people complain: "W11 is full of bloat I had to remove. and in addition, not all features work". Plus they install buggy motherboard and RGB software (while they had complained about bloat in W11....) I shared this before. Here is my cheat sheet that gets rid of ALL (to me - YMMV) bloat, telemetry, adds etc. My home W11 is basically as clean as W11 at work (Enterprise). i basically take 20 minutes after fresh install to set up W11 to fit all MY needs.
Your system's hardware details are clear, and the changes in scores reflect specific adjustments. The Vantage CPU score slightly decreased while the GPU score rose marginally, and the Fire Strike score improved slightly as well. Overall, the differences are minor. I checked temperatures to prevent throttling and ran tests multiple times to confirm stability.
