#Windows 10 Decrapifier 2.0: ULTRA-DECRAPIFIER
#By CSAND
#Aug 7 2018
#
#***********************************************************************************************************************************************
#*****************!!!THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION OF DECRAPIFIER V2, FOR WINDOWS 10 BUILDS UP TO 1709. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR 1803+!!*****************
#***********************************************************************************************************************************************
#
#PURPOSE: Eliminate much of the bloat that comes with Windows 10. By default - change a large amount of privacy settings in your favour. Remove built-in advertising, Cortana, OneDrive. Disable most data collection.
# Clean up the start menu for new user accounts. Remove a bunch of pre-insalled apps, or all of them (including the store). Create a clean, professional looking W10 experience. Changes some settings no longer available
# via GPO for Professional edition.

#***Please follow the how-tos below for best results!!! These are the only ways I suggest to run this script. Meant to be run on a new machine. Running from an existing user profile will give good, but incomplete results.***

#WARNING: This script will alter Windows 10. The changes can be difficult to undo! It does exactly what it says, however I encourage you to research these changes beforehand.
# I described each section with comments, so please read first. The less heavy-handed original version of the Decrapifier is available.
# It's always a decent idea to backup your PC before running scripts like this.

#
#***Switches! Customize your decrapification!***
#
#Switch Function
#---------------------------
#No switches Decrapifies current user account only. Leaves other user accounts alone. Still disables services and scheduled tasks. Removes all apps but Store, Photos, Sound Recorder, 3D Paint, and Calculator.
#-allapps Removes ALL apps including the store. Use wisely!
#-leavetasks Leaves scheduled tasks alone.
#-leaveservices Leaves services alone.
#-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.
#-clearstart Applies a clean start menu with only the File Explorer, Snipping Tool, and Control Panel pinned. Applies to all subsequent new users on the PC. Customize your pinned apps by editing the layout right in this script! (Find the ClearStartMenu function).
#-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).
