Can't revert changes #21

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Hi I ran the automated install script thinking it would only download it not run it and now I have 5+ extensions installed on edge and i'm sure a lot of other stuff I can't see. I can't remove the extensions because they're 'Installed by my organisation' even though I don't have one. How can I get rid of all of it?

This is partially documented here https://github.com/simeononsecurity/Windows-Optimize-Harden-Debloat#additions

To revert the changes, you'll need to import the ADMX templates from here https://github.com/simeononsecurity/STIG-Compliant-Domain-Prep/tree/master/Files/PolicyDefinitions using this guide https://www.poremsky.com/windows/use-group-policy-admx-files-in-windows-7-or-8/ which still applies to W10 and W11

In the windows run box, open "gpedit.msc" as an administrator image

Navigate to here and clear out these values image

I'm doing right now. But do'nt exist one script to only delete the "controls" to the Chrome/Firefox? image

Now I can config everything. Thanks But maybe you can implement something to select which extensions or to what apps apply image

We appreciate the suggestion, however the configurations included in this script are based upon security and privacy industry guidance, standards, and otherwise best practices. Any diversions from the script's baseline arguably make your system less secure. With this in mind, you're always welcome to modify the script to your needs. But, making the script dynamic in the way that would be required to satisfy your request isn't in our plans as this time.
