Cleanup Windows 10 Powershell script

cleanup-win10.ps1

##
## Windows 10 cleanup script.
## Remove dodgy tracking settings, unneeded services, all apps, and optional features that come with Windows 10. Make it more like Windows 7.
## NOTE: this was tested on Creators Update (1703) and Fall Creators Update (1709). Some of this may not work as expected on newer versions.
##
## Instructions
##  1. Run this script (under Powershell as Administrator):
##     powershell -ExectionPolicy Bypass .\cleanup-win10.ps1
##  2. Let it run through, you may see a few errors, this is normal
##  3. Reboot
##     shutdown /r /t 0
##  5. Done!
##
## After using this script, I would recommend running O&O Shutup.

how to install back windows store ?
Thanks

Nice job!

Regarding CDPUserSvc - it is used by 'Task View' and when disabled (reg value 4) and trying to click it or use WinKey+Tab Explorer.exe crashes and restarts.
This makes it difficult for non power users to create new virtual desktops.

Cheers!

Nice script, but...
What is the difference in "clean up features", compared to Windows 10 Debloater ?

wow, nice one ! thx

Your awesome. Thanks!
