This Windows 11 optimization and cleanup app blends perfectly into your PC's UI — and I never usually care about these 'debloaters'

Winhance running on Surface Pro X.

Winhance is an open-source application led by Marco du Plessis, also known as memstechtips, that can optimize Windows 10 and 11 on desktop PCs and laptops.

Plessis has released multiple new builds over the last 12 months, and v26.02.13 brought more improvements to its UI as it migrated from an older Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) base to Microsoft's modern WinUI 3 framework — essentially making Winhance match the style of the Settings menu.
