Uninstall/completely remove the debloater tool.

Look in Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Task Scheduler to ensure that the debloater has not left something else launching and running in the background.

Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) may help find some culprit.

Then try "sfc /scannow" and "dism" to, hopefullyl, clean things up.

thank you

I want to add, appears only to effect OpenGL games

You are welcome.

Re: only OpenGL games

Likely some logic or coding bug and/or error in the script(s).

May or may not get fixed. May or may not negatively impact other games at some time in the future....

Depends on who developed the script and what their intentions may actually be.

Noted that the debloater script download link was edited out: Very much agree with that.

Be careful about where you get scripts, etc..

Keep an eye on things....
