# ChoomCore-Tweaks
PowerShell scripts for Windows privacy, optimization, and removing bloatware.
---
## 🎯 Target Audience
This tool is designed for **enthusiasts, gamers, and advanced users** who want to regain total control over their Windows installation, focusing on speed and privacy.
---
## ❗ CRITICAL WARNING: Use at Your Own Risk
This script makes deep modifications to the Windows Registry, services, and scheduled tasks.
* **It is NOT recommended for use on Notebooks/Laptops.** The aggressive nature of the tweaks **may disable essential services** like power management, **Wi-Fi**, **Touchpad**, and other specialized hardware drivers. Only use this on Desktop PCs.
* You MUST inspect the code (ChoomCore-Tweaks.ps1) before running it.
* The creator (ChoomCore69) is not responsible for any data loss or damage to your operating system.
* **Recommendation:** Always create a **System Restore Point** before running any system-modifying script.

## 🛠️ How to Run the Tweaks
You need to run the script with **Administrator privileges**. The easiest way is using the included launcher file.
1. **Download:** Download the two main files: `ChoomCore-Tweaks.ps1` and `RUN-ChoomCore.cmd`.
2. **Execute:** Double-click **`RUN-ChoomCore.cmd`** to start the process.
3. **Confirm:** Accept the User Account Control (UAC) prompt to allow the script to run as Administrator.
4. **Done:** The PowerShell window will execute all the commands and remain open (due to the `pause` command) until you press any key.
> **Note:** The `RUN-ChoomCore.cmd` uses the `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` flag to allow the script to run locally without changing your system's global security policies.
