Stops MS from downloading unwanted apps onto your computer. I recommend setting up the script to run at startup using task scheduler, so that when MS resets this during an update, it automatically goes back.

Credit to HauptJ for the majority of the RemoveJunk.ps1 file. I simply added my Disable Consumer Experience script, added a line to remove Hidden City, and removed the line that uninstalled People because it failed for me. I did fork it here but I also wanted to add the file here since it's relevant.
