This Windows 10 Setup Script turns off a bunch of unnecessary Windows 10 telemetery, bloatware, & privacy things. Not guaranteed to catch everything. Review and tweak before running. Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

# Tweaked Win10 Initial Setup Script | |
# Primary Author: Disassembler <disassembler@dasm.cz> | |
# Modified by: alirobe <alirobe@alirobe.com> based on my personal preferences. | |
# Version: 2.20.2, 2018-09-14 | |
# Primary Author Source: https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script | |
# Tweaked Source: https://gist.github.com/alirobe/7f3b34ad89a159e6daa1/ | |
# Tweak difference: | |
# | |
# @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. | |
