Windows 10 Decrapifier
#Windows 10 Decrapifier 1803/1809
#By CSAND
#Oct 5 2018
#
#
#PURPOSE: Eliminate much of the bloat that comes with Windows 10.
#
# Change many privacy settings to be off by default. Remove
# built-in advertising, Cortana, OneDrive, Cortana stuff
# (all optional).
#
# Disable some data collection.
#
# Clean up the start menu for new user accounts.
# Remove a bunch of pre-installed apps, or all of them (including
# the store).
#
# Create a more professional looking W10 experience.
#
# Changes some settings no longer available via GPO for
# Professional edition.
#
#DISCLAIMER: Most of the changes are easily undone, but some like
# removing the store are difficult to undo. I encourage you to
# research these changes beforehand, and read through the script.
# Each section is described with comments, to make it easier
# to see what's going on.
#
#
#INSTRUCTIONS: For best results use the following how-tos. Running from
# an existing profile on an "in-use" machine won't affect any
# already-existing user profiles and won't give the best results.
# Read through the script to see what is disabled, and comment out
# anything you want to keep.

#***Switches***
#
#Switch Function
#---------------------------
#No switches Disables unnecessary services and scheduled tasks.
# Removes all UWP apps except for some useful ones.
# Disables Cortana, OneDrive, restricts default privacy
# settings and cleans up the default start menu.
#-AllApps Removes ALL apps including the store. Make sure this is
# what you want before you do it.
# It can be tough to get the store back.
#-LeaveTasks Leaves scheduled tasks alone.
#-LeaveServices Leaves services alone.
#-AppAccess Sets privacy permissions in Settings -> Privacy to
# restricted by default. Some apps may require these
# permissions to function, you can just reenable them
# from the settings menu.
#-ClearStart Empties the start menu completely leaving you with just
# the apps list.
#-OneDrive Leaves all OneDrive content fully functional.
#-Tablet Use this for tablets or 2-in-1s to leave location and
# sensors enabled.
#-Cortana Leave Cortana and web enabled search intact...
# ...if that's what you really want.
#-Xbox Leave xBox apps and related items.
#-AppsOnly Only removes apps, doesn't touch privacy settings,
# services, and scheduled tasks.
# Cannot be used with -SettingsOnly switch.
# Can be used with all the others.
#-SettingsOnly Only adjusts privacy settings, services, and scheduled
# tasks.
# Leaves apps.
# Cannot be used with -AppsOnly switch.
# Can be used with all others (-AllApps won't do anything
# in that case, obviously).
