The operating system even includes a new policy that lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-policy-remove-bloatware\/\">set up Windows 11 accounts without bloatware<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A more advanced approach to installing Windows 11 without unwanted apps is to <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-windows-11-without-bloatware-unsupported-hardware\/\">create an unattended.xml answer file<\/a> that instructs Setup exactly what to install and what to skip.<\/p>\n<p>With a properly configured answer file, you can prevent specific inbox apps from provisioning, define system features, preconfigure privacy and regional settings, and automate account creation. By integrating the file into your bootable USB media, Windows Setup runs silently and automatically applies your custom configuration, delivering a clean, streamlined installation tailored to your requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>FAQs about a clean install of Windows 11 without bloatware<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers about installing Windows 11 without bloatware.<\/p>\n<h4>Does this method completely remove bloatware from Windows 11?<\/h4>\n<p>No. Selecting the &#8220;English (World)&#8221; or &#8220;English (Europe)&#8221; option during setup prevents third-party promotional apps from being added, such as Netflix or Spotify tiles. However, built-in Microsoft apps like Calculator, Outlook, and Microsoft Edge will still be installed.<\/p>\n<h4>Why does choosing &#8220;English (World)&#8221; stop promotional apps from installing?<\/h4>\n<p>Those regional format options are configured without Microsoft partner app suggestions. By selecting them during installation, the setup process skips adding third-party promotional shortcuts to the Start menu.<\/p>\n<h4>Can I change my region back after installing Windows 11?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. After completing the installation, you can go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Time &amp; language<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Language &amp; region<\/strong> and select your correct country and regional format without affecting system functionality.<\/p>\n<h4>Does this work on both Windows 11 Home and Pro?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. The workaround works on Windows 11 Home and Pro editions because it applies during the initial setup phase of a clean installation.<\/p>\n<h4>Is this method supported by Microsoft?<\/h4>\n<p>The process uses official setup options and does not modify system files. It relies on selecting a different regional configuration during installation, which is fully supported.<\/p>\n<h4>Does this prevent Microsoft apps from being installed?<\/h4>\n<p>No. Core system apps developed by Microsoft will still be installed as part of the operating system. This method only avoids third-party promotional apps.<\/p>\n<h4>Can I remove the apps later if I don&#8217;t use this trick?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes. You can uninstall most promotional apps from the Start menu or the Apps section in Settings. However, preventing them during setup keeps the Start menu cleaner from the start.<\/p>\n<h4>Is this better than using debloating tools after installation?<\/h4>\n<p>For most users, yes. Avoiding third-party apps during setup is cleaner and safer than using third-party scripts or tools to remove apps after installation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update February 19, 2026:<\/strong> This guide has been updated to ensure accuracy and reflect changes to the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, you can install Windows 11 without annoying third-party apps, and this is how you do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185607,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[97,19,2715,2576],"class_list":["post-157905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-windows","tag-difficulty-level-advanced","tag-how-to","tag-windows-11","tag-windows-help"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to install Windows 11 without bloatware using a simple setup trick - Pureinfotech<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"To install Windows 11 without bloatware apps, during setup, choose the &quot;English (World)&quot; option in the &quot;Time &amp; Currency format&quot; setting.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-windows-11-without-bloatware-apps\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"I installed Windows 11 without the usual bloatware and here\u2019s how\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"To install Windows 11 without bloatware apps, during setup, choose the &quot;English (World)&quot; option in the &quot;Time &amp; Currency format&quot; setting.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-windows-11-without-bloatware-apps\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pureinfotech \u2022 Windows 10 &amp; Windows 11 help for humans\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/pureinfotech\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-02-19T12:00:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-02-19T13:18:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/windows-11-clean-install-without-bloatware-hero.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1680\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1050\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mauro Huculak\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Want a clean Windows 11 install?
