Guide: How to Revert Changes

This guide will help you revert any changes made by Barely Windows.

Reinstalling Apps

Most applications removed by Barely Windows can be easily reinstalled through the Microsoft Store or their official websites. Additionally, you can use WinGet to reinstall apps.

The only exceptions I know of are the Microsoft Store itself and the XboxSpeechToTextOverlay, which may not be easily reinstated.

If you have uninstalled the Microsoft Store, please follow this guide for re-installation instructions.

Re-enable Bing Web Search

Bing Web Search in Windows Search can be restored by running the Enable_Bing_Cortana_In_Search.reg file that is provided by the tool, You can find it by navigating to Regfiles > Undo.

Alternatively these registry files can be individually viewed and downloaded here.

If your Windows Region is set to a country within the EEA (European Economic Area) you may also need to reinstall the Web Search from Microsoft Bing app. Ensure this app is enabled in the Windows Search settings.

Please note that you may need to sign out of your user account or restart your PC to apply the changes.

Other changes

All of the other changes can be reverted by using the registry files that are provided with the script, these registry files can be found by navigating to Regfiles > Undo.

Alternatively these registry files can be individually viewed and downloaded here.

Simply run the registry file that applies to the setting you want to revert, and you're done!
