Windows 10 Sophia Script

"Windows 10 Sophia Script" is a set of functions for Windows 10 fine-tuning and automating the routine tasks 🏆

FAQ

• 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 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.
