No script to undo any changes made by the debloating scripts #191

It would be great if there would be a script (or a folder) of similar scripts, that do exactly the opposite, reverting the changes made. For example, I have chosen to disable Windows Defender, but SmartScreen is still running, preventing me from running anything third-party. Normally I would've been able to exclude the application that it would'nt let me run. Now I can't run those apps. Thanks

I won't be adding any undo scripts.

The first reason is that it is only recommended to use these scripts on a fresh installation of Windows. If they mess up your system in any way, simply reinstall. Second, restoring the previous state exactly as it was, may be impossible for some operations done by the scripts.

If you are looking for a solution, which can be applied to an existing (not fresh) installation, which also provides undo mechanisms, this project is not for you.
