Question: Compatibility with `O&O ShutUp10++`?

[Obegg]

Sophia Script is checking whether Windows was broken by 3rd party harmful tweakers and trojans: https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows/blob/52c5312cdde5fdf202b29a72e33760c5ac675564/src/Sophia_Script_for_Windows_10/Module/Sophia.psm1#L292-L320 I'm asking if O&O ShutUp10++ is breaking Sophia Script or not.

If not - should I use Sophia Script before or after using O&O ShutUp10++?

Will check tomorrow. :)

Sorry to ask this after 20 hours - Any updates?

[farag2]

I remember about your question. But I still not at home.

Hi. I'm back. Well, despite I do not like apps parasiting on disabling Windows telemetry, it's fully safe to use it with Sophia Script. it just relies on GPO. Nothing new and special. It cannot provide anything unique due to any similar apps rely on Windows API.

Let me know, if you receive any errors.

[farag2]

And use it wisely. May the force be with you)

Thank you!

Small question - what is your recommendation about the order of running both, should I use Sophia Script first and then ShutUp10 or first ShutUp10 and then Sophia Script? The reason I'm asking is because Sophia Script does disable some features and it could be that if running ShutUp10 afterwards it could enable some features that Sophia Script already disabled.

Configure preset to be sure what you want )

what is your recommendation about the order of running both

I do not see any differences. it's up to you.

The reason I'm asking is because Sophia Script does disable some features

It disables what is marked in preset.

Sorry to get back to this old issue, but I was wondering if it is possible to integrate O&O ShutUp features to Sophoa Script and thus removing the need (functionality wise) to use additional tweaker such as O&O ShutUp to cover some features that Sophia Script might not have yet? Basically I don't want to use Sophia Script + O&O Shutup, I only want to use Sophia Script which (hopefully) will have everything inside it.

O&O ShutUp

I do not want to integrate a 3rd party app (not created by MS like I have to use their LGPO.exe). Actually, I do not like policies for home users, due to the project wasn't intended to be used on the Enterprise sector. users always forget which policy they applied before and do not understand how to revert changes back. So I like to rely on pure Windows UI features that don't use on policies (if possible) to be easily removed if a user needs that.

will have everything inside it.

This is a voluntarism. :)

Sorry, there must be a miscommunication on my part, I probably didn't explain what I mean. My intention was not to integrate 3rd party app, my intent was to get each feature of this app and copy them to Sophia Script, for example: O&O ShutUp has a feature that will disable "Activity History" then Sophia Script will copy that feature using powershell commands (or however needed) and will have the option to disable and enable by user choice, same for the rest of the features of O&O ShutUp, each feature O&O ShutUp has - Sophia Script will have.

I do not like apps which rely on GPOs. I try to avoid such features. I mean, there's no need to copy all functions from that app. Sophia wasn't intended to be a copy of such apps. It has a unique features and its' own way of evolution.
