Tweaks to make Windows 10 less annoying and more usable.
Here's what this script does:
- Disables Cortana
- Disables Notification Center
- Disables automatic reboots after Windows Updates have been installed
- Disables Microsoft.com accounts from Windows Login
- Shows file extensions for known file types
- Sets Explorer to open to "This PC"
- Shows hidden files (not including OS files)
- Uninstalls OneDrive
- Shows "This PC" icon on Desktop
- Enables developer mode (required for Linux Subsystem)
- Installs the Linux Subsystem
- Updates the Powershell Get-Help items
- Disables SMBv1
- Unpin all Start Menu items
- Disables WPAD
Unfortunately you'll have to set your execution policy to unrestricted to use this script.
From an Administrator Powershell prompt:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
cd Win_init
.\Win_init.ps1
Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
The original script was created by this awesome guy @clong, I'm copying the script here for personal tweaks and other stuff.
This script doesn't address any of the privacy issues of Windows 10 because there are already a bunch of tools that already do that.
