Windows 11 debloat tools promise speed, but here's what actually happens

A hands-on test of popular Windows 11 debloat tools including Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility, Raphire's Win11Debloat, and Tiny11 Maker. Benchmarks on a fresh Windows 11 25H2 VM show modest gains: debloat scripts save 0.4–0.6GB of disk space and reduce RAM usage from 3.2GB to around 2.6–2.7GB. Tiny11 stands out by cutting disk usage nearly in half to 15.3GB. However, the author warns that these tools carry real security risks (malicious PowerShell scripts), can break system features, and many claimed benefits like disabling telemetry don't actually work on Home/Pro editions. The conclusion is that debloat tools offer limited practical gains and Microsoft's built-in settings are often sufficient.
