DISM /Online /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages | select-string Packagename

  - Choose bloatware you want to remove, block the package name from Microsoft. until bbwe and then just press the right click of your mouse to copy them. For example : Microsoft.ZuneVideo_2019.19031.11411.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.
- Open notepad and paste the package name there.
- Copy these commands and paste also into the notepad :

DISM /Online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:PACKAGENAME

- Change the PACKAGENAME with packagename you copied before. For example :

DISM /Online /Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackageName:Microsoft.ZuneVideo_2019.19031.11411.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe

 - After you changed the codes, copy them and paste by pressing right click inside powershell. Then hit enter.

- Restart windows to take effect.

2. Automatic ( Using Script )
Caution ! If you don't want apps you have installed from microsoft store to be removed, uncheck the apps in whitelist and blacklist because the apps that have been removed by this script is hard to recover eventhough you try to reinstall them. It will not work again. For example : Nvidia Control Panel
- Download Windows10Debloater from here or here
- Extract the file. Then run powershell as administrator.
- Copy and paste these codes into powershell :

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

- On the prompt, change to the directory where you extracted the files: e.g. - cd c:\temp
- Then type these codes or press tab on keyboard until you see this filename : .\Windows10DebloaterGUI.ps1. Then hit enter.
- Windows10Debloater will open, then click customize blacklist to customize apps that need to be removed.
- The apps with no check mark are in whitelist and the apps with check mark (✓) are in blacklist ( apps that wil be removed ). If you see conflict whitelist and blacklist that means there were two apps with the same name in that lists. You need to choose whether to check them both or not ( remove or keep them).
- After you're done customizing the lists, click save button on the top of the list.
- To begin the removal of the bloatware, click Remove Bloatware With Customized Blacklist.
