[Suggestion] Startup flag for new computers #155

Closed BelleNottelling closed 5 years ago

BelleNottelling commented 5 years ago

Hi there, I think Tron is a really great script to use, and it's something I like to run on new PCs to make sure they are a bit cleaner than what would come out of the box, I'm also using it with my job to remove some things from school laptops such as the Xbox apps (because it's completely unnecessary to have) One thing which I think would be a great addition is a flag for new PCs so Tron skips some things such as Anti-Malware & Anti-Virus scans, debloating 3rd part apps, cleaning cache, creating a system restore point, ect. Basically anything that's not going to be needed on a new PC

Agreed. Tron is a great way of getting rid of the garbage on new systems, especially OEM systems with all their bloatware.

Hi @BenNottelling , thanks for the suggestion. Currently I think the best solution to your use-case is just to run the Stage 2 script directly. That will handle removing all the OEM bloatware without doing the A/V scans, temp file cleanup, etc.

That's for the suggestion, but I feel like that's not as helpful as a flag for a new computer as that'll still leave out windows optimizations and anti spyware patches, which is why I felt like it would be helpful as a flag

In that case, running the Stage 2 and Stage 4 scripts should do everything you're looking for (bloat removal, telemetry disabling, etc). Tron doesn't really do any optimizations to Windows outside of a couple very minor tweaks; the real meat of it is in Stages 2 and 4.
