Quick summary
LoveWindowsAgain (often called LoWaApp) is a free utility for Windows 11 that helps you remove or disable built-in features and bundled apps you don't want. It’s aimed at decluttering the system and freeing storage by letting you pick which components to keep and which to remove.
Who built it and related projects
The tool is created by Builtbybel, an independent developer behind several other Windows utilities, including Privatezilla, Bloatbox, and ReadySunValley. If you prefer an alternative operating environment, Windowsfx is a commonly suggested free option.
Main capabilities
- Analyze your Windows 11 installation to identify components and apps that can be removed or adjusted.
- Uninstall or disable unwanted built-in features to reclaim disk space.
- Offer a simple interface for choosing which actions to take (install third‑party packages, remove apps, or send feedback).
- Provide an in-app catalog of third‑party utilities you can add after slimming down the system.
How the workflow looks
- Launch the application and click the Analyze Windows 11 button to scan the system.
- Review the list of items the program highlights as potential issues or bloat.
- Choose an action from the options shown at the bottom of the window — for example, install external packages, remove unnecessary apps, or send feedback to the developer. Note: The app highlights problems but does not automatically fix everything without your explicit choice.
Third‑party software you can add
- Firefox
- LibreOffice
- AnyDesk
- Opera
- Notepad++
- Audacity
- Discord
Managing installed programs
Using the Remove unnecessary option displays all installed applications. From that view you can:
- Uninstall programs you don’t want.
- Restore previously removed items.
- Import or move packages as needed.
Safety recommendations
Always create a system restore point before making changes. Removing built‑in components can affect system behavior; having a restore point ensures you can revert if something goes wrong.
Why this can be useful
Windows 11 introduces many preinstalled apps and features that not every user needs. Tools like LoveWindowsAgain let you streamline the OS to suit your workflow, recover storage space, and optionally install commonly used utilities from one place.
Final note
LoWaApp is a lightweight, user-friendly option for users who want more control over what stays on their Windows 11 machine. Take care to back up or create a restore point before applying significant changes.
