Bloatware Scanner: Remove OEM Junk Without Breaking Drivers
New laptops ship with dozens of trials, promos and 'helper' apps — mixed in with the audio, touchpad and hotkey utilities you actually need. UniClean's Bloatware Scanner separates the two, then the Leftover Scanner sweeps every trace of what you remove.
A new-laptop clean-up without the guesswork.
Typical bloatware UniClean finds
- Antivirus and VPN trials preinstalled by the OEM
- Duplicate support assistants and update agents
- Promotional shortcuts, games and streaming apps
- Telemetry and "experience improvement" services
- Windows 11 consumer apps you never use
- Leftover folders from removed OEM software
