Every tweak in a 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. * Some third-party antiviruses flag this script or its' part as malicious one. This is a **false positive** due to [$EncodedScript](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/blob/0f9bbee7e1d43f487eb0855e0d1e44ff569fc4a9/200x/2004.ps1#L2837) variable. You can read more about in "CreateCleanUpTask" function. You might need to disable tamper protection from your antivirus settings, re-enable it after running the script, and reboot. ## Screenshots <details> <summary>Screenshots</summary>   </details> ## Sophia Script in Action [](https://youtu.be/TpYxw3FYoNk) ## Core features * Set up Privacy & Telemetry; * Turn off diagnostics tracking scheduled tasks; * Set up UI & Personalization; * Uninstall OneDrive "correctly"; * Interactive prompts; * Change %TEMP% environment variable path to %SystemDrive%\Temp * Change location of the user folders programmatically (without moving user files) within interactive menu using up/down arrows and Enter key to make a selection * "Desktop"; * "Documents"; * "Downloads"; * "Music"; * "Pictures" * "Videos. * Uninstall UWP apps from all accounts with exception apps list with pop-up form written in [WPF](#Screenshots); * Disable Windows features; * Install and setup WSL * Remove Windows capabilities with pop-up form written in [WPF](#Screenshots); * Create a Windows cleaning up task in the Task Scheduler; * A toast notification will pop up a minute before the task [starts](#Screenshots) * Create tasks in the Task Scheduler to clear * ```%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download``` * ```%TEMP%``` * Unpin all Start menu tiles; * Pin shortcuts to Start menu using [syspin.exe](http://www.technosys.net/products/utils/pintotaskbar) * Three shortcuts are preconfigured to be pinned: Control Panel, "old style" Devices and Printers, and Command Prompt * Turn on Controlled folder access and add protected folders using dialog menu; * Add exclusion folder from Microsoft Defender Antivirus scanning using dialog menu; * Add exclusion file from Microsoft Defender Antivirus scanning using dialog menu; * Refresh desktop icons, environment variables and taskbar without restarting File Explorer; * Setup Windows 10 security; * Many more File Explorer and context menu "deep" tweaks. ## Usage To run the script: * Download [up-to-date version](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/releases/latest); * Expand the archive; * Open folder with the expanded archive; * Look through the preset file to configure functions that you want to be ran; * Comment out function with the ```#``` char if you don't want it to be ran; * Uncomment function by removing the ```#``` char if you want it to be ran. * Click "File" in File Explorer, hover over "Open Windows PowerShell", and select "Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator" [(how-to with screenshots)](https://www.howtogeek.com/662611/9-ways-to-open-powershell-in-windows-10/); * Set execution policy to be able to run scripts only in the current PowerShell session ```powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force ``` * Type ``` .\Sophia.ps1 ``` * Press Enter ## How to translate * Get your OS UI culture by ```powershell $PSUICulture ``` * Create a folder with the UI culture name; * Place your localized Sophia.psd1 file into this folder ## Supported Windows 10 versions |Version|Code name| Marketing name |Build | Arch | Editions | Script version | |:-----:|:-------:|:------------------:|:----:|:----:|:-----------------:|:--------------:| | 2009 | 20H2 |October 2020 Update |19042 | x64 |Home/Pro/Enterprise|[5.2](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/releases/latest)| | 2004 | 20H1 | May 2020 Update |19041 | x64 |Home/Pro/Enterprise|[5.2](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/releases/latest)| | 1909 | 19H2 |November 2019 Update|18363 | x64 |Home/Pro/Enterprise|[4.5, deprecated](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/tree/master/4.x%20(outdated)/190x)| | 1903 | 19H1 | May 2019 Update |18362 | x64 |Home/Pro/Enterprise|[4.5, deprecated](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/tree/master/4.x%20(outdated)/190x)| | 1809 | |LTSC Enterprise 2019|17763 | x64 | Enterprise |[4.5](https://github.com/farag2/Windows-10-Sophia-Script/tree/master/LTSC)| ## GUI version (C#) [oz-zo](https://github.com/oz-zo) still cooking (moved to the private repository) ## Microsoft Docs * [Release information](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information) * [Known issues for 20H2](https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-20h2) ## Ask a question on * [Ru-Board](http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=62&topic=30617#15) * [My Digital Life](https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/powershell-script-setup-windows-10.81675/) * [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/go2n5v/powershell_script_setup_windows_10/)
