Overview\nThis repository provides a set of **PowerShell scripts** to harden Windows installations by:\n- Disabling telemetry and diagnostic data collection  \n- Stopping unnecessary background services  \n- Disabling scheduled tasks that collect or send user data  \n- Preventing network leaks (LLMNR, NetBIOS, NCSI Active Probing)  \n- Reducing attack surface (e.g., SMBv1 removal, Xbox services, Remote Registry)  \n\nThe goal is to **maximize privacy, security, and OPSEC** while keeping the system stable.\n\n---\n\n## 📂 Repository
