## :fire: Before running :fire:
* 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. 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.

### How to run the specific function(s)
To run the specific function(s) [dot source ](https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_operators#dot-sourcing-operator- ) the `Functions.ps1` file first:
```powershell
# With a dot at the beginning
. .\Functions.ps1
```
* Now you can do like this (the quotation marks required)
```powershell
Sophia -Functions < tab >
Sophia -Functions temp< tab >
Sophia -Functions unin< tab >
Sophia -Functions uwp< tab >
Sophia -Functions "DiagTrackService -Disable", "DiagnosticDataLevel -Minimal", UninstallUWPApps
UninstallUWPApps, "PinToStart -UnpinAll"
```
Or use an old-style format without the TAB functions autocomplete (the quotation marks required)
```powershell
.\Sophia.ps1 -Functions CreateRestorePoint, "ScheduledTasks -Disable", "WindowsCapabilities -Uninstall"
```
***
* Regardless of the functions entered as an argument the `Checkings` function will be executed first, and the `Refresh` and `Errors` functions will be executed at the end.
## How to translate
* Get your OS UI culture by `$PSUICulture` .
* Create a folder with the UI culture name;
* Place your localized Sophia.psd1 file into this folder.
