The scripts just did everything as soon as I ran it. I expected to have some choices on what I want it to do, This script is awsome, the only issue is that you can't choose what you want, 1- Windows wallpaper and lockcreen settings stars with a huge delay, around 30 seconds. Any ways to fix this? 2- Windows animations are totally borken. Even when I enable them in windows settings it doesnt work, Is there any way to restore them? 3- The Home page in file explorer is useful for pinning most used folders. Any way to re-enable it? 4- Any ways to enable windows clipboard history?

I ended up corrupting my install and had to reinstall windows. One thing I truly apricated about the script was how much it reduced windows footprint. What parts of the script are affect windows' footprint more?

Hi. The release it applies all tweaks which can be in code. So check that the code first. Second if you want to remove or modifying the exe , download 7-Zip File Manager and run the exe with that. You can add , remove files just like a folder or archive. Third i respond for listed issues:

  1. Wallpaper and lockscreen delays was observed recently. i am working for a fix (maybe something about WindowsConsumerFeatures disablation, seen that in 2 versions of Windows: Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 22H2).
  2. The animations are not broken. There are disabled via Accessibility Setting. To revert, First Go to Settings -> Accesibility and check off Turn off animations.
  3. The Home page in Explorer is removed together with Libraries , Previous Versions and Quick Access. That thing is classified as blotware. But easy, you can modify the exe end remove "Remove Quick Access.reg", "Remove Libraries.reg" etc. from the downloaded exe and opened with 7-Zip.
  4. Yeah, these are applied by a policy tweak 
    
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Clipboard]
"EnableClipboardHistory"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Experience\AllowClipboardHistory] "value"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] "AllowCrossDeviceClipboard"=- "AllowClipboardHistory"=-



P.S.: If you have any questions or problems feel free to ask!

Thank you for replying. I would like to know what parts of the script actually reduced windows' footprint? When I ran the scrtipt it freed up nearly 7Gb of my windows drive. I should note that I really keep my windows installation tidy and clean, so it's awsome that it did that despite the fact that my instlation was already super clean. What components does it remove?

ionuttbara commented 1 year ago

the executable doesn't remove any components so it disables hibernation (some gb free) and force windows to work without Reserved Storage (that's why you get 7 GB free of space) and disables Pagination (all apps ran into ram , for optimizing disk, and 1-2 GB free).

ionuttbara commented 1 year ago

this is the command.

powercfg -h off & DISM /Online /Set-ReservedStorageState /State:Disabled & reagentc /disable >nul

for page file is registry file.
