About Sophia Script for Windows 🏆

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 🔥

  • 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. 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.

Sophia -Functions <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)

.\Sophia.ps1 -Functions CreateRestorePoint, "ScheduledTasks -Disable", "WindowsCapabilities -Uninstall"
