This release brings some long-requested features alongside a host of fixes. For starters, Win11Debloat can now automatically detect previously applied tweaks for the logged-in user. And reverting them is as simple as unchecking the corresponding setting.

The script now also fully supports running under the SYSTEM account, which has also made it possible to apply changes to users who are still logged in. This makes it far easier to integrate Win11Debloat into your automations and deployments.
