My Windows 10 settings for Virtual Machines

How to use it

Apply the script for a single user

It's just a batch file, so all you have to do is run it as an administrator on the user for which you want to apply it. Note that the computer will restart immediately after.

Apply the script for all users on the computer

Alternative 1: Runonce-method

If you want the script to apply for all users on the computer I suggest making use of the runonce method. That is:

  • Copy this script somewhere to the computer. For example C:\MDT\scripts\runonce\
  • Use the command below in CMD to modify the default registry (ntuser.dat)
reg load HKLM\DEFAULT c:\users\default\ntuser.dat
REG add "HKLM\DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce" /V "Runonce" /T "REG_SZ" /D "C:\MDT\scripts\runonce\runonce.bat" /F 1>NUL 2>&1
reg unload HKLM\DEFAULT
  • Now, when a new user logs in, because of the registry addition, the script will be run and the settings will apply for the user.

Alternative 2: Manually run the script for each user

Or you can just run the script from whichever user you are logged into without any automagic.

Why all this mess?

Well, there are some issues modifying new user profiles in Windows 10 these days:

  • Usually one would use CopyProfile during a sysprep to make the user settings "copy over" to the other settings. But copyprofile has been broken for a long time and Microsoft does not care. Perhaps they are working on something new...
  • Another way to go is to configure the default profile in Windows 10, but this has some limitations, more specifically registry changes to "HKLM\DEFAULT\Control Panel". Also other changes that are not registry dependent will not be applied to the other users.

Remove Windows 10 Apps.ps1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Remove built-in apps (modern apps) from Windows 10.
.DESCRIPTION
This script will remove all built-in apps with a provisioning package that's not specified in the 'white-list' in this script.
It supports MDT and ConfigMgr usage, but only for online scenarios, meaning it can't be executed during the WinPE phase.
For a more detailed list of applications available in each version of Windows 10, refer to the documentation here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/application-management/apps-in-windows-10
