A clean installation of Windows 11 comes packed with over 30 pre-installed Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, ranging from Xbox Live telemetry to news tickers and third-party sponsored games.

What is Windows 11 bloatware?

Many of these applications run persistent background services that consume RAM and trigger network telemetry requests even when you never launch them.
