How to use Winslop to debloat and remove AI features on Windows 11

Winslop is a lightweight, open-source utility designed to debloat Windows 11 and disable forced AI features.
The tool removes preinstalled apps, background services, advertisements, and optional components like Copilot, Recall, and Click to Do.

On Windows 11, Winslop has emerged as a popular utility tool, though the name is also a play on recent internet slang. Developed by the creator of FlyOOBE, this tool is a lightweight, open-source, and specifically designed to “de-slop” Windows 11.

It helps you remove unnecessary bloatware, forced AI features (like Copilot), and system-heavy background apps. The developer created it as a response to Microsoft’s increasing integration of AI and “low-value” features into the operating system. It features an intentionally retro, Windows 95-style interface to contrast with modern, “bloated” UI designs.

The tool scans for removable apps, categorizes them for easy uninstallation, and provides options to disable specific features, such as advertisements and AI components (like Copilot, Recall, and Click to Do). In addition, the tool provides the settings to enable some useful features that are disabled by default, such as verbose logon status messages, End Task, and more.

In this guide, I’ll help you get started with the Winslop tool to debloat and remove AI features on Windows 11 for a leaner, less cluttered, and debloated user experience.

Warning: Usually, it’s not recommended to use third-party tools or scripts to modify or debloat the operating system, as they can pose potential system instability. The Winslop is a known utility, but you should still use it at your own risk. Also, consider creating a full backup before proceeding.
