* Added a fast command to download and expand latest Sophia Script version, depending on which Windows or PowerShell versions are used to
```powershell
iwr sl.sophia.team -useb | iex
```
alongside with the current command to download the latest release build
```powershell
iwr script.sophia.team -useb | iex
```
* Removed `CopilotButton` and `MappedDrivesAppElevatedAccess` functions as unnecessary ones;
* Added `TaskbarCombine` to combine taskbar buttons and `ImagesEditContext` to hide the `Edit` item from the images context menu functions for `Windows 10`;
* Minor changes;
* Fixed typos.
### Wrapper 2.7.5
The imported .ps1 file must be in Sophia Script folder.
* [Recorded](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-use) a visual teaching videos how to run `Sophia Script` for `Windows 10`&`Windows 11`;
* Fixed `NewsInterests` function for `Windows 10`;
* Blacklisted [KirbyOS](https://x.com/NPKirbyy) which promises FPS rate increase in games as many similar ones;
* Improved `NetworkAdaptersSavePower` function not to allow the computer to turn off the network adapters to save power
* Expanded harmful tweakers by adding [xd-AntiSpy](https://github.com/builtbybel/xd-AntiSpy) for letting users remove system UWP components to break Windows in the end (along side with [Winpilot](https://github.com/builtbybel/Winpilot). You're welcome again. Bravo! 👏
* Improved `RKNBypass` function. Now all browsers will know about a new proxy server isntantly by using [InternetSetOption](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wininet/nf-wininet-internetsetoptiona) API.
*`TaskbarWidgets`' function future is up in the air due to Microsoft has blocked access for editing TaskbarDa key in KB5041585, so technically the function doesn't work throwing `Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.`
* Removed `Windows10ContextMenu` (as this was a strange function to make Windows 11 looks like an old OS), `AuditProcess` (as `CommandLineProcessAudit -Enable` contains the same functionality), `BrowsingHistory` functions for `Windows 11`;
* Added `StartRecommendationsTips`&`StartAccountNotifications` functions to `Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more in the Start menu` and `Show Microsoft account-related notifications on Start Menu in the Start menu` respectively;
*`DefenderSandbox` functions re-added for `Windows 11`;
* Added `AtlasOS`, which for some reason positions itself as a replacement for Windows (!!!), as a harmful tweaker from another scammers;
* Start icon positions are stored in a binary obfuscated JSON file that changes with every update. `$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\start2.bin`, and it's changed with every update;
* Microsoft has blocked write access to UserChoice key for .pdf extention and http/https protocols with KB5034765 and KB5034763 for Windows 11 and Windows 10 respectively.
* Script now relies on parsing <https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows/blob/master/supported_windows_builds.json> to check the actual supported Windows build;
* If there's no Internet connection established, the check will be skipped.
* In anticipation of providing an ability to remove Edge from Microsoft, the Edge check was removed.
*`InstallDotNetRuntimes` function has now only `NET6x64, NET7x64, NET8x64` supported arguments
* Added `RegistryBackup` function to back up the system registry to %SystemRoot%\System32\config\RegBack folder when PC restarts and create a RegIdleBackup in the Task Scheduler task to manage subsequent backups;
* Fixed bug in `HEVC` function that prevented package downloading;
* Removed `WaitNetworkStartup` function as unnecessary one;
* Renamed `TaskbarChat` function into `PreventTeamsInstallation`;
* Fixed typos;
* Minor changes.
### Wrapper 2.6.13
* Added compatibility with the latest `Sophia Script` version;
* Bug fix.
> **Note**: Please note that Wrapper doesn't have all functions as CLI `Sophia Script` provides. If you want to apply all functions, you need to configure `Sophia.ps1` file.
With best wishes for a happy New Year from `Team Sophia` ![img](https://forum.ru-board.com/board/s/deds.gif)
* Just in case re-create `Temp` scheduled task via `. .\Functions.ps1` [method](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows#how-to-run-the-specific-functions).
* Added `CopilotButton` function for `Windows 10` to hide ot show Copilot button on the taskbar as Windows starts supporting it with the latest available build;
* Added `WindowsLatestUpdate` function for `Windows 10` to let user get Windows updates as soon as they're available for your device as Windows starts supporting it with the latest available build;
* Removed `HEVC` function for `Windows 11` as unnecessary one as `Windows 11` already has `Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension` package pre-installed;
* Now `TaskbarChat` function except hiding the iсon also prevents `Microsoft Teams` from installing for new users by creating a special registry key as `NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller`;
* Fixed `Cursors` function.
* If you encountered with a wrong cursor applied, please re-apply the function.
* Now the script checks and removes all IP addresses add to `hosts` file that block Microsoft recourses added by harmful tweaker [WindowsSpyBlocker](https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker);
* Now you can associate extensions with protocols: `Set-Association -ProgramPath MSEdgeMHT -Extension .html`.
* Added `Export-Associations` and `Import-Associations` to let user export all Windows associations and import all Windows associations from a JSON file;
*`Export-Associations` exports `Application_Associations.json` to script root folder;
* You have to install all apps to the same folders according to an exported JSON file to restore all associations, unless this extension will be skipped;
*`Import-Associations` lets you import `Application_Associations.json` via an open file dialog;
* This is more of a `proof of concept` (and may contain bugs) which shows that is possible to restore associations from an old PC to a new one (like in some harmful tweakers like `Modern Tweaker` and `Win10Tweaker` provide). But I'd not recommend to rely on this approach. Better do it manually. But the functions works. :cat:
> **Note**: Please note that Wrapper doesn't have all functions as CLI `Sophia Script` provides. If you want to apply all functions, you need to configure `Sophia.ps1` file.
* Added Microsoft Edge installation if it was removed by harmful tweakers. [WebView2 Runtime](https://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/what-is-microsoft-edge-webview2-runtime-and-how-to-reduce-cpu-usage/) is a mandatory Windows component.
* If you run the script on `Windows 11 22000` you will silently download and run [Windows 11 Installation Assistant](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11), then download the [PC Health Check app](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-the-pc-health-check-app-9c8abd9b-03ba-4e67-81ef-36f37caa7844) and expand it without installation to prepare for upgrading.
* Now all scheduled tasks respect `Focus Assist` mode and won't interrupt while you playing games or watching fullscreen videos with any notification toasts or powershell.exe pop-ups
* Uses the [FocusAssistLib.cs](https://github.com/DCourtel/Windows_10_Focus_Assist/blob/master/FocusAssistLibrary/FocusAssistLib.cs) code from @DCourtel!
* Added new function to prevent Microsoft Edge desktop shortcut creation upon its' update;
* By default it prevents for all Microsofot Edge channels (with checks if any of them is installed): `PreventEdgeShortcutCreation -Channels Stable, Beta, Dev, Canary`.
* The `IPv6Component` function gets new argument `-PreferIPv4overIPv6` to `Enable the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component for all network connections if your ISP supports it. Prefer IPv4 over IPv6`;
* Closes #440.
* Improved scheduled tasks functions: now it checks if tasks were already created for another user;
* Fixed rare bug for `SetUserShellFolderLocation` function when Microsoft Terminal deblicates PC drivers in the menu;
* Minor changes.
*`Wrapper` updated up to `2.6.0`;
* Now fully compatitable with the latest script version.
* Call `Sophia -Functions "CleanupTask -Register", "SoftwareDistributionTask -Register", "TempTask -Register"` to update existing Scheduled tasks to have a new toasts UI;
* [Read](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows#how-to-run-the-specific-functions) how to call specific function from Sophia Script for Windows.
* Fixed bug for `TempFolder` function to make it work without errors on systems with non-latin characters in username;
* Fixed small bug in `NetworkAdaptersSavePower`;
* Now it doesn't hang script in rare cases.
*`EditWithPhotosContext` and `CreateANewVideoContext` function were removed for Windows 11 only due to they do not work for this Windows;
* Added `EditWithClipchampContext` for Windows only to let remove `Edit with Clipchamp` from the media files context menu;
* Fixed typos in `UpdateLGPEPolicies` function
* Run this function again if you want to make all manually created policies visible in gpedit.msc snap-in.
* Moved from `PolFileEditor.dll` to [LGPO.exe](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-security-baselines/lgpo-exe-local-group-policy-object-utility-v1-0/ba-p/701045) from Microsoft;
* It lets manually created policies keys in registry be visible in gpedit.msc snap-in by re-building policy cache by official way;
* So all functions that rely on policy will be visible in the snap-in for you;
* The `UpdateLGPEPolicies` was edited to be suitable for a new method based on LGPO.exe;
* Lets you to install free (light and dark) "Windows 11 Cursors Concept v2" cursors from [Jepri Creations](https://www.deviantart.com/jepricreations/art/Windows-11-Cursors-Concept-v2-886489356) on-the-fly;
* Default option is `Dark`.
* The `InstallVCRedist` function now installs both x86 and x64 `Visual C++ Redistributable 2015–2022` packages;
* Fixed bug in the `Windows Cleanup` scheduled task for cleaning Windows. If you applied this function in 6.1.5 release, re-apply in again using this release, unless the task won't run at all.
* [How-to](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows#how-to-run-the-specific-functions) call specific function
* Added a temp workaround to check whether `PolFileEditor.dll` assembly was loaded due to even it was unblocked for SmartScreen before, it's blocked for loading into PowerShell session;
* Fixes bug when script couldn't load `PolFileEditor.dll` into session and broke the functionality that relies on it. Now if script detects that `PolFileEditor.dll` wasn't loaded, offer to restart powershell.exe session.
* Will be obsolete with the 6.2.0 release.
* Fixed `winget` not installing Visual C++ Redistributable 2015–2022;
* Microsoft [changed](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/VCRedist/2015%2B/x64/14.34.31823.3/Microsoft.VCRedist.2015%2B.x64.installer.yaml#L4) package identifier.
* We opened our official [Discord](https://discord.gg/sSryhaEv79) channel! Feel free to chat and talk! [![Discord](https://discordapp.com/api/guilds/1006179075263561779/widget.png?style=shield)](https://discord.gg/sSryhaEv79)
* Now it uses officially documented feature to make Windows Terminal to launch as administrator by default by editing `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json` file.
## Windows 11 21H2/22H2 | Windows 10 2004/20H2/21H1/21H2/22H2 | Enterprise LTSC 2021 | Enterprise LTSC 2019
* Now the repo doesn't keep any 3rd party libraries, and all scripts are built using an updated GitHub Action [config](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows/blob/master/.github/workflows/Sophia.yml);
* 3rd party tools that are downloaded and used;
* [PolicyFileEditor](https://github.com/dlwyatt/PolicyFileEditor) made by @dlwyatt;
* Added awesome `UpdateLGPEPolicies` function :ghost:
* It's common known, that the `gpedit.msc` snap-in doesn't read settings from the Windows registry keys if they were made manually, bypassing the snap-in. This new function lets you update gpedit.msc to make all your policies created manually displayed regardless when registry keys were created. There is no need to run the whole `Sophia Script` — just call `UpdateLGPEPolicies` function. By default this function will be invoked at very end of script running to make all policies registry keys used in the script displayed.
* To check all policies applied to your OS (if they have a record in `gpedit.msc`) after invoking `UpdateLGPEPolicies`, open `gpedit.msc` and navigate to:
* Now it uses `gpedit.msc` path: `HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection` instead of `HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection`;
* To updated registry keys run `DiagnosticDataLevel -Minimal`.
* Added `SearchHighlights` function to hide search highlights for Windows 10;
* Fixed `UnpinAllStartApps` function;
* Now it's working for Windows 11 22H2 Insider Preview too.
* Removed `Windows10FileExplorer` to enabled `Windows 10 File Explorer` in Windows 11;
* Updated `TaskManagerWindow` function to make it not to be run on Windows 11 22H2;
* Closes #348.
* Fixed a bug in `OpenWindowsTerminalAdminContext` function when you cannot open Windows Terminal as admin in a path ends in a backslash `\`;
* Closes #340. Read more [here](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/4571).
* Signed all PowerShell files by a self-signed certificates;

* The `WinPrtScrFolder -Desktop` function was improved;
* The `Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019` version is now deprecated and won't be supported. Please, if you an ortodox who likes outdated and abandoned Windows, switch to `Windows 3.11` back, or at least `Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021`;
## Windows 11 21H2 | Windows 10 2004/20H2/21H1/21H2 | Enterprise LTSC 2021 | Enterprise LTSC 2019

* Fixed small bug in the `OneDrive` function that prevents OneDrive to be downloaded (Microsoft changed the cloud XML silently);
* The `WinPrtScrFolder` function was improved;
* Now it doesn't matter how your preset was named: the fucntion will parse the preset that was loaded into session to find whether the `OneDrive -Uninstall` function was commented out or not;
* Minor changes.
## Sophia Script Wrapper 2.5.3
* More validation for JSON added;
* Backup of `Sophia.ps1` to `Sophia-original.ps1` if using import ps1 file called `Sophia.ps1`;

* Merged #264;
* Added `Spotify` for removing to `UninstallUWPApps`;
*`ShareContext` now uses another method that doesn't have an influence on `Windows10FileExplorer`

***
* Sophia Script Wrapper was rewritten from the scratch;
* Redefined UI and UX;
* Many bugs fixed.

* Dark and light themes;
* Just import the `Sophia.ps1` file and all functions will be set up automatically.
* Updated the GitHub Action [config](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/blob/master/.github/workflows/Sophia.yml) to automate the SHA256 file creation and uploading to the release page. As @aaronhatesregex wanted 😄
* Updated the Turkish translation. Thanks to @v30xy;
* Added the Hungarian translation <imgsrc="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Flag_of_Hungary.svg"height="11px"/>. Thanks to @84stangman;
* Updated Sophia Script Wrapper to 1.1 build 5;
* The read/edit button function can now edit all functions in 'Sophia.psm1' file;
* The wrapper now creates a 'Sophia_edited.ps1' file in Sophia Script folder to run instead of overwriting the existing one.
* The code from moved to the `Functions.ps1` file;
* If you want to call the specific function you need to [dot source](https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_operators#dot-sourcing-operator-) the `Functions.ps1` first
* The `TempFolders` and the `OneDrive` functions update
*`TempFolders` totally rewritten using the `MoveFileExA` [function](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-movefileexa)
* Now with the `MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT` flag all unremovable files and folder will be removed after reboot (log off) automatically. After that the temporary scheduled task will create a symobolic link and remove itself;

The `Windows Cleanup Notification` function runs once every month and displays native toast notification where you can choose to snooze (with drop down menu time reminder), run the cleanup task now or dismiss. You will be asked for this notification about Windows cleanup once a month.

* Now it's possible to open Microsoft Store extension page manually (`-Manual` argument) or download and install (`-Install` argument) appx package directly from Microsoft server using the <https://store.rg-adguard.net> parser;
* Built upon awesome @KaiWalter [function](https://dev.to/kaiwalter/download-windows-store-apps-with-powershell-from-https-store-rg-adguard-net-155m); :rocket:
* Thanks to [iNNOKENTIY21](https://forum.ru-board.com/profile.cgi?action=show&member=iNNOKENTIY21) for the tips.
* Now it's able to register an app, calculate special hash, and set as default for specific extension without the ["How do you want to open this"](https://filestore.community.support.microsoft.com/api/images/2383a021-b035-40b5-8d9b-b935cbb713e3) pop-up

* Code refactoring for the ```ScheduledTasks```, ```WindowsFeatures```, ```WindowsCapabilities``` & ```UninstallUWPApps```
* The ```WindowsFeatures``` function generates **friendly** Windows features names instead of packages names :rocket:
* The ```WindowsCapabilities``` function generates **friendly** Windows capabilities names instead of packages names :rocket:
* The ```UninstallUWPApps``` function generates **friendly** UWP apps names instead of packages names :rocket:
* Clicking on "Uninstall for all users" dynamically generates UWP apps list for all users and vice versa. Currently works only on PowerShell 5.1 :thinking:
* Thanks to [iNNOKENTIY21](https://forum.ru-board.com/profile.cgi?action=show&member=iNNOKENTIY21) &@oz-zo
* Thnx to [YuS 2](https://forum.ru-board.com/profile.cgi?action=show&member=YuS%202) & [iNNOKENTIY21](https://forum.ru-board.com/profile.cgi?action=show&member=iNNOKENTIY21) for spending their time.

* The translations are moved to separate files ```Sophia.psd1```;
* To translate into your language you should
* Create a folder with the appropriate future localization name;
```powershell
$PSUICulture
```
* Place the translation into this folder without changing the file name (```Sophia.psd1```)
