🔄️ Roll-Back

If something breaks you can rely on:

  1. A restoration point;
  2. The repair-windows.ps1 file or button on Win10ScriptGUI.ps1;
  3. If you want (almost) everything to it's original state, use the Revert Tweaks button on Win10ScriptGUI.ps1.

❗ Usage Requirements

The Win10Script/GUI.ps1 do not make everything automatically, follow these steps.

  • Extract the .zip file.
  • Open OpenPowershellHere.cmd (For beginners) or the Powershell as admin on it's folder.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force; ls -Recurse *.ps*1 | Unblock-File; .\"Win10ScriptGUI.ps1"

Script GUI

The Apply Tweaks button is the main one for debloating.

CLI Version (Minimal, good for automation)

  • Copy and Paste this entire line below on Powershell:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force; ls -Recurse *.ps*1 | Unblock-File; .\"Win10Script.ps1"

🔎 How did i find specific Tweaks?

Click to expand

How To (Advanced Users)

By using SysInternal Suite Procmon(64).exe i could track the SystemSettings.exe by filtering per Process Name (Ctrl + L).

  • But, not every time filtering the application you want will show the registry tweaks that were applied, so make sure other processes appear.
  • Then use Clearing the list (Ctrl + X) (But make sure it is Capturing the Events (Ctrl + E)) and finally, applying an option of the Windows Configurations and searching the Registry Key inside Procmon(64).exe.
  • Also make sure to disable the Events being captured (Ctrl + E) after applying a specific config.

Grab the current tweak on registry with Procmon64.exe

After finding the right register Key, you just need to Right-Click and select Jump To... (Ctrl + J) to get on it's directory.
