## About

Sophia Script for Windows is the largest PowerShell module on `GitHub` for `Windows 10` & `Windows 11` fine-tuning and automating the routine tasks

## Before running

> **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#davids-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.

***

### 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<kbd>TAB</kbd>
Sophia -Functions temp<kbd>TAB</kbd>
Sophia -Functions unin<kbd>TAB</kbd>
Sophia -Functions uwp<kbd>TAB</kbd>
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"
```

***

## How to download Sophia Script via PowerShell

* Download the always latest Sophia Script archive by invoking (`not as administrator too`) in PowerShell

```powershell
irm script.sophi.app -useb | iex
```

* The command will download and expand the latest Sophia Script archive (`without running`) according which Windows and PowerShell versions it is run on. If you run it on, e.g., Windows 11 via PowerShell 5.1, it will download Sophia Script for `Windows 11 PowerShell 5.1`.

## How to translate

* Get your OS UI culture by invoking `$PSUICulture` in PowerShell;
* Create a folder with the UI culture name;
* Place your localized Sophia.psd1 file into this folder.
