New Script Request: Configure Windows 10 Virtual Machine Guest OS per Microsoft Recommended Settings #20

Hi Abbodi,

Thanks for making and maintaining very useful scripts in this repository. I am a huge fan of your work. Your scripts automate lots of useful tasks that are very difficult (and sometimes impossible) to do manually.

I have a request for a new batch script. Microsoft has a webpage (linked below) where they specify a long list of recommended settings for Windows 10 guests running under a virtual machines (e.g. Virtualbox, Vmware, etc.). These settings are supposed to improve the performance of the Windows 10 Virtual machines by making the OS leaner and lighter. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-vdi-recommendations

The web page that I linked above has a very long list of recommended settings. Some of them are set during OS installation, others are manually changed using the Windows Settings User Interface and some others require Group Policy. It takes a very long time to apply these settings to the guest Windows 10 OS. Can you make a batch script that automates the process and applies all of these recommended settings automatically to a running Windows 10 OS?

I think a batch script that automates that process would be extremely useful, but the decision is ultimately yours. In addition to virtual machines, these settings can also be useful for people who want to run a lean Windows 10 system. Most of these settings are probably applicable to Windows 11 too. Thanks for everything in advance.
