Resume

This project is a modified version of another project that was made for Debloat and Tweak Windows 10 for better performance and less issues.

Roll-Back

There is a undo (if works), because i did a restoration point script before doing everything.

Use on a fresh windows install to note the differences, and if something breaks, you can rely on a pre-made restoration point and the repair-windows.ps1 file.

Usage Requirements

The Script-Win10.ps1 do not make everything automatically, follow these steps.

GUI ( WIP, Without Output working )

• Copy and Paste this entire line below on Powershell:

How did i find specific Tweaks?

How To (Advanced Users)

By using SysInternal Suite Procmon(64).exe i could track the SystemSettings.exe by filtering it per Process Name, then Clearing the list (Ctrl + X) (But make sure it is Capturing the Events (Ctrl + E)) and finally, applying an option of the Windows Configurations and searching the Registry Key inside Procmon(64).exe.

After finding the right register Key, you just need to Right-Click and select Jump To... (Ctrl + J) to get on its directory.
