About Sophia Script
Note: Sophia Script for Windows is the largest PowerShell module on
GitHub
forWindows 10
&Windows 11
fine-tuning and automating the routine tasks. It offers more than 150 unique tweaks, and shows how Windows can be configured without making any harm to it.
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. 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.
