Dmitry Nefedov has written some PowerShell scripts to customize and fine-tune a Windows 10 installation. These collection of PowerShell scripts are designed to be executed on the first run, after Windows 10 was installed and set up on a system. It allows administrators to customize and fine-tune their system with a single click.
The whole materials has been published for Free as Windows 10 Setup Script on Github. But some preparation need to be done, before you may execute such a script. Its important to download the PowerShell script that fits your Windows 10 version. The script has to be modified, to do the required customization. From the FAQ on Github:
- Due to the fact that the script includes about 150 functions, you must read the entire script and comment out those sections that you do not want to be executed otherwise likely you will enable features that you do not want to be enabled.
- Running the script is best done on a fresh install because running it on tweaked system may result in errors occurring.
- Some third-party antiviruses flag this script or its' part as malicious one. This is a false positive due to $EncodedScript variable. You can read more about in "Create a Windows cleaning up task in the Task Scheduler" section. You might need to disable tamper protection from your antivirus settings, re-enable it after running the script, and reboot.
The developer offers scripts for Windows 10 version 1903, 1909, 2004 and Windows 10 LTSC 1809. With these scripts you can:
- Set up Privacy & Telemetry;
- Turn off diagnostics tracking scheduled tasks;
- Set up UI & Personalization;
- Uninstall OneDrive "correctly";
and much more. Details may be found within the readme from Github. Reviews of these scripts my be found at ghacks.net and neowin.net. A discussion may be found on reddit.com.
