Windows 11 often comes bundled with a plethora of pre-installed applications.

For those seeking a more streamlined experience, the latest update from the developer of Tiny11 offers a compelling solution.
Windows 11’s unofficial Tiny11 mod update removes more features (and that’s good)
In a recent communication on X, NTDev, the mastermind behind Tiny11, addressed the community, apologizing for the lack of updates while simultaneously unveiling exciting news. The latest iteration of Tiny11 has taken a bold step by eliminating several applications, including Copilot, the new Outlook—which NTDev candidly described as “absolutely sucks”—and Teams. This reduction in pre-installed applications not only declutters the operating system but also frees up valuable space for users to install software that truly meets their needs.
So, what exactly has been removed in this update? NTDev has provided an updated list on their website, detailing the applications that have been excised:
- Clipchamp
- News
- Weather
- Xbox (though the Xbox Identity provider remains, allowing for potential reinstallation)
- GetHelp
- GetStarted
- Office Hub
- Solitaire
- PeopleApp
- PowerAutomate
- ToDo
- Alarms
- Mail and Calendar
- Feedback Hub
- Maps
- Sound Recorder
- Your Phone
- Media Player
- QuickAssist
- Tablet PC Math
- Edge
