1. Chocolatey script

Follow instructions at https://chocolatey.org/install, usually:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Export script courtesy of Erik Hougaard:

choco list -lo -r -y | % { "choco install $($_.SubString(0, $_.IndexOf("|"))) -y" } | Out-File Install.ps1

2. Windows 11 Debloater script

This script is tailored to my needs.
For custom settings, download the debloater tool at https://freetimetech.com/windows-11-debloater-tool-debloat-gui/ and create your own.

3. Tweaking

Full context menu

Open cmd.exe as Administrator and run this code, then reboot.
