Please let me know if you encounter any issues. Home Edition and\ndifferent languages are not supported. These scripts are intended for\ntech-savvy administrators, who know what they are doing and just want to\nautomate this phase of their setup. If this profile does not fit you, I\nrecommend using a different (more interactive) tool -- and there are a lot of\nthem out there.\n\nAlso, note that gaming-related apps and services will be removed/disabled. If\nyou intend to use your system for gaming, adjust the scripts accordingly.\n\n**There is no undo**, I recommend only using these scripts on a fresh\ninstallation (including Windows Updates). Test everything after running them\nbefore doing anything else. Also, there is no guarantee that everything will\nwork after future updates since I cannot predict what Microsoft will do next.\n\n## Translations\n\n- [Fork with German version](https://github.com/MagicLike/Debloat-Windows-10/blob/master/README.de-de.md)\n\n## Interactivity\n\nThe scripts are designed to run without any user interaction. Modify them\nbeforehand. If you want a more interactive approach check out\n[DisableWinTracking](https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking) from\n[10se1ucgo](https://github.com/10se1ucgo).\n\n## Download Latest Version\n\nCode located in the `master` branch is always considered under development, but\nyou'll probably want the most recent version anyway.\n\n- [Download [zip]](https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/archive/master.zip)\n\n## Execution\n\nEnable execution of PowerShell scripts:\n\n    PS\u003e Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser\n\nUnblock PowerShell scripts and modules within this directory:\n\n    PS\u003e ls -Recurse *.ps*1 | Unblock-File\n\n## Usage\n\nScripts can be run individually, pick what you need.\n\n1. Install all available updates for your system.\n2. Edit the scripts to fit your need.\n3. Run the scripts you want to apply from a PowerShell with administrator privileges (Explorer\n   `Files \u003e Open Windows PowerShell \u003e Open Windows PowerShell as\n   administrator`)\n4. `PS \u003e Restart-Computer`\n5. Run `disable-windows-defender.ps1` one more time if you ran it in step 3\n6. `PS \u003e Restart-Computer`\n\n## Start menu\n\nIn the past I included small fixes to make the start menu more usable, like\nremoving default tiles, disabling web search and so on. This is no longer the\ncase since I am fed up with it. This fucking menu breaks for apparently\nno reason, is slow, is a pain to configure / script and even shows ads out of\nthe box!\n\nPlease replace it with something better, either use [Open Shell] or [Start\nis Back], but stop using that shit.\n\n[Open Shell]: \u003chttps://open-shell.github.io/Open-Shell-Menu/\u003e\n[Start is Back]: \u003chttp://startisback.com/\u003e\n\n## Known Issues\n\n### Start menu Search\n\nAfter running the scripts, the start menu search-box may no longer work on newly\ncreated accounts. It seems like there is an issue with account initialization\nthat is triggered when disabling the GeoLocation service. Following workaround\nhas been discovered by BK from Atlanta:\n\n1. Delete registry key `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\lfsvc\\TriggerInfo\\3`\n2. Re-enable GeoLocation service (set startup type to `Automatic`)\n3. Reboot\n4. Login with the account having the stated issue\n5. Start Cortana and set your preferences accordingly (web search and whatnot)\n\nYou may now disable the GeoLocation service again, the search box should remain\nfunctional.\n\n### Sysprep will hang\n\nIf you are deploying images with MDT and running these scripts, the sysprep\nstep will hang unless `dmwappushservice` is active.\n\n### Xbox Wireless Adapter\n\nApparently running the stock `remove-default-apps` script will cause Xbox\nWireless Adapters to stop functioning. I suspect one should not remove the Xbox\nApp when wanting to use one. But I haven't confirmed this yet, and there is a\nworkaround to re-enable it afterwards. See\n[#78](https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/issues/78).\n\n### Issues with Skype\n\nSome of the domains blocked by adding them to the hosts-file are required for\nSkype. I highly discourage using Skype, however some people may not have\nthe option to use an alternative. See the\n[#79](https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/issues/79).\n\n### Fingerprint Reader / Facial Detection not Working\n\nEnsure *Windows Biometric Service* is running. See\n[#189](https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/issues/189).\n\n## Liability\n\n**All scripts are provided as-is and you use them at your own risk.**\n\n## Contribute\n\nI would be happy to extend the collection of scripts. Just open an issue or\nsend me a pull request.\n\n### Thanks To\n\n- [10se1ucgo](https://github.com/10se1ucgo)\n- [Plumebit](https://github.com/Plumebit)\n- [aramboi](https://github.com/aramboi)\n- [maci0](https://github.com/maci0)\n- [narutards](https://github.com/narutards)\n- [tumpio](https://github.com/tumpio)\n\n## License\n\n    \"THE BEER-WARE LICENSE\" (Revision 42):\n\n    As long as you retain this notice you can do whatever you want with this\n    stuff.
