########## # Tweaked Win10 Initial Setup Script # Primary Author: Disassembler # Modified by: alirobe based on my personal preferences. # Version: 2.12.1, 2018-03-15 # 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, '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. #
