## About Sophia Script

> **Note**: Sophia Script for Windows is the largest PowerShell module on `GitHub` for `Windows 10` & `Windows 11` for fine-tuning and automating the routine tasks. It offers more than 150 unique tweaks, and shows how Windows can be configured without making any harm to it.

## Before running
5 years ago
2 years ago
> **Note**: Due to the fact that the script includes more than **150** functions with different arguments, you must read the entire **Sophia.ps1** carefully and **comment out/uncomment** those functions that you do/do not want to be executed (without need to edit the code), or use [Wrapper](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows#benchtweakgaming-sophia-script-wrapper). Every tweak in the preset file has its' corresponding function to **restore the default settings**. Running the script is best done on a fresh install because running it on **wrong** tweaked system may result in errors occurring.
