## ⚠️ Before running ⚠️
* Due to the fact that the script includes more than **270** functions, you must read the entire **preset file** carefully and **comment out/uncomment** those functions that you do/do not want to be executed. 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 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.
