## Description
I personally find the state Windows 10 comes in quite shocking / scary and want
to have very quick, scriptable solution to remove and disable Windows 10's
*features* most people do not need nor want anyway.
Windows 10 comes with a whole bunch features most (power-)user do not use /
want. Therefore the scripts provided should help getting rid of them easily.
You should have no problems using the provided Powershell scripts or altering
them to fit your needs. Do not forget to set the execution policy for
Powershell scripts. And of course, you have to run them with administrative
privileges.
I try to keep sensible defaults for all scripts but you'll be better of editing
them before execution to fit your personal needs. Don't forget to run them with
administrative privileges and have Powershell execution policy set to
`Unrestricted`.

Look at the scripts, most of them are only a couple of lines long and it should
be pretty obvious what they do.
I develop those scripts on a Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit virtual machine.

## Privacy Settings
I am also working on a script which sets the privacy settings of the current
user. I will try to keep it up-to-date as good as possible but do not rely on
them since they may be outdated.
If you find a certain setting which should be set in the stated script, let me
know.
## Liability
**All scripts are provided as is and you use them at your own risk.**
