- **changed** — Clean up logging of exceptions during Appx Package uninstallation via Write-Verbose
- **changed** — Improve log output in Get.ps1/Get-Dev.ps1 and clean up file exclusions
> [!NOTE]
> The `-RemoveCommApps` and `-RemoveW11Outlook` command-line parameters for uninstalling a few specific apps have been removed with this release. If you previously relied on these parameters, please see [this wiki page](https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/wiki/App-Removal#app-removal-via-cli) for alternative methods of removing these apps.
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.
