## 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them since they may be outdated.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. |
