De-Bloat : add parameters for "features", like the custom whitelist

doumhfr commented 2 months ago

Hi,

first of all, thanks for your script

but it would be better if we can use parameters, like the customwhitelist, for another part of the script, so we can use the debloat-intune-script without copying the script on our repo and edit

this will work but :

we have to keep it up to date
we lost the script signature (except if we are able to sign it by ourselves)

for example be able to not remove copilot if we don't want to, with a switch like -keepcopilot, -dontcustostartmenu or whatelse

Hi, I have considered it, but I would need so many different parameters, it would quickly become very confusing and the aim is a set and forget script. There isn't anything which can't be over-riden with an Intune policy either

doumhfr commented 2 months ago

I'd say that only for "big parts" of the script but ok

2 littles things :

some shortcuts stay when using non english OS, example : "Adobe Offers" shortcut in start menu, in French, the shortcut name is "Offres Adobe.lnk", but difficult to maintain and integrate all possible languages....
I have on this HP computers an app "Poly Lens", for me nothing to do here and can be considered as bloat, if I have Poly device, I can deploy the software

Do you have details about Poly Lens? Is it an appx or an executable

I've added Poly Lens to the latest version, hopefully it removes it

doumhfr commented 2 months ago

I can't test now but I will do more test in the future with the same computers so I can go back here to confirm ;)
