• Stable release on version 0.85 with migrated features and full support for Windows 11 24H2, especially 23H2, but also older feature versions
• New Notification/Shared Log Center for global log reporting
• Enhancements and fixes for the app debloater (Option 2), with alerts if apps can't be removed due to dependencies
• Improved plugin functionality (Option 3), which can be expanded with a future plugin store
• Numerous smaller fixes and improvements

Note: There are now countless "BloatyNosy" copies floating around on GitHub, but remember, friends - this is the true original.

If you haven’t heard yet, BloatyNosy has been brought back to life, read on to learn more...

You probably remember my classic BloatynosyApp, which had to go through some renaming and eventually got discontinued. Everything that came after, like the web-based "Winpilot," didn't last long either. Honestly, I thought I was done with Bloatynosy-well, at least with the name. But then, during a recent visit to a well-known company, I saw an employee Googling the app and trying to download it, and I had to stifle a laugh. Apparently, the legend lives on. The employee and I had a good laugh about it, and he even called it the epitome of debloating.
Sometimes, I think a little too long about things, and then a useful project just pops out. Bloatynosy was one of those projects. Sure, the name wasn't for everyone, but it was the go-to tool for cleaning up and debloating Windows. Recently, I added an OOBE assistant called "Fresh11" to the FlybyScript—basically, an all-in-one solution and I figured, why not use the same foundation to bring Bloatynosy back to life?

I had a hard time committing to it, but in the end, I went for it. Now I can proudly say that after Bloatynosy, there won’t be anything newer or better. This time, it'll be even leaner, more efficient, smaller, and faster. A simple .exe that anyone can understand, doing exactly what bugs us after installing Windows 11. The reborn Bloatynosy carries the "Nue" extension (Bloatynosy Nue), not "New" ;) The last solid, classic version was 0.85, and that's where Im picking up (with a fresh new interface). The build carries a small 11.x version number.
