Cleanup Windows 10 Powershell script

cleanup-win10.ps1

##
## Windows 10 cleanup script.
## Remove dodgy tracking settings, unneeded services, all apps, and optional features that come with Windows 10. Make it more like Windows 7.
## NOTE: this was tested on Creators Update (1703) and Fall Creators Update (1709). Some of this may not work as expected on newer versions.
##
## Instructions
##  1. Run this script (under Powershell as Administrator):
##     powershell -ExectionPolicy Bypass .\cleanup-win10.ps1
##  2. Let it run through, you may see a few errors, this is normal
##  3. Reboot
##     shutdown /r /t 0
##  5. Done!
##
## After using this script, I would recommend running O&O Shutup.
