# Tweaked Win11 Initial Setup Script
# Primary Author: Disassembler <disassembler@dasm.cz>
# Modified by: alirobe <alirobe@alirobe.com> based on my personal preferences.
# Modified by: @DanielLarsenNZ - based on my personal preferences. Some additions for Windows 11
# Version: 2.12.2, 2021-12-11
# Primary Author Source: https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script
# Tweaked Source: https://gist.github.com/alirobe/7f3b34ad89a159e6daa1/
# Tweak difference:
#
# @DanielLarsenNZ's version builds on @alirobes's adding some performance tweaks, removing some bloat but leaving
# important apps and services installed.
#
# @alirobe's version is a subset focused on safely disabling telemetry, some 'smart' features and 3rd party bloat ...
# ... while retaining win10 defaults + security features. Aim to be suitable for end-user rollout.
#
# If you're a power user looking to tweak your machinea, or doing larger roll-out..
# Use the @Disassembler0 script instead. It'll probably be more up-to-date than mine:
# https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script
#
# Note from author: Never run scripts without reading them & understanding what they do.
