Resume

This is an adapted version from another project. These scripts will Customize, Debloat and Improve Security/Performance on Windows 10/Newer.

Disclaimer: If something breaks, it's under your responsibility.

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.

• Open OpenPowershellHere.cmd (For beginners) or the Powershell as admin on its folder.
• Enable execution of PowerShell scripts and Unblock PowerShell scripts and modules within this directory.

GUI Version

• Copy and Paste this entire line below on Powershell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force; ls -Recurse *.ps*1 | Unblock-File; .\"Win10ScriptGUI.ps1"

The Apply Tweaks button is the main one.

CLI Version (Advice - If you want FULL Output to be displayed on the console, use this version)

• Copy and Paste this entire line below on Powershell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force; ls -Recurse *.ps*1 | Unblock-File; .\"Win10Script.ps1"

How did i find specific Tweaks?

Click to expand

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.
