Worried about Windows 11 bloat and want a bit more control over what goes into its ISOs? Over the weekend, a new version of Tiny11 Builder in PowerShell guise arrived.

Tiny11 is a stripped-down version of Microsoft's flagship operating system. We took a look at it last year, and while it was a technical tour de force, having a bit more control over what is and isn't included in the setup media would have been welcomed.

Enter the latest version of Tiny11 Builder, which consists of a PowerShell script that takes an existing Windows 11 ISO image and emits a streamlined version, shorn of such fripperies as Solitaire, Alarms, Weather, and Edge.

The author of the software uploaded a video of the script in action over the weekend and shared the project in a GitHub repository, saying it is "a stepping stone for an even more fleshed-out solution."

A user needs to be quite comfortable with PowerShell to run the script, although if you're the type who likes to fiddle with Windows, then dropping in a command line is unlikely to pose too much of a problem.
