What it is

A PowerShell script for Windows 10 and 11 that removes preinstalled apps, turns off telemetry, ads and suggestions, and disables Copilot, Recall and other AI features. It also adjusts the taskbar, Start menu, File Explorer, Windows Update behavior and appearance settings through an interactive menu or command-line parameters. Home users run it to clean up a fresh install, while administrators export settings and apply them across many machines, in Audit mode, or to other user accounts.
