24.10.2020 Speed up Windows10 with one commend ( using version 20H2 )
this is different from my previous scripts, this does not remove any functionality… I will remake and update regularly This is version 1.0 ???
Still Not got the GUI yet
He made his own back up before he starts
Meant for all versions, this might be the minimal, this might be based on the last live stream, but not sure

Have taken all the scripts below and a system admin script I used a lot in the past to make a streamlined Debloat script. This script will optimize Windows and can be run multiple times if you have an update ruin all the optimizations. I have also made it very easy to launch. Here is the source files: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/win10script
If you want to just run this on any system, you can easily copy and paste this into a Admin Powershell prompt and watch it do everything for you. It does have two prompts based on user feedback.
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://git.io/JJ8R4'))
What this script does
• Installs Chocolatey, Notepad++, Irfanview, VLC, Java, and asks if you want Adobe Reader or Brave.
• Removes all Windows Store Apps EXCEPT office, xbox, and WSL.
• Removed Telemetry
• Disables Cortana
• Deletes various schedules tasks that rebloat the system
• Removes Other Bloatware (Candy Crush, etc.)
• Fixes problems that other scripts causes (lock screen and personalization options restricted)
I will be updating this a lot, I don’t get all, so you might need to clean up a bit at the end, from start bar etc.

October 2020 Update.jpg
Some notes from some YourTube comment answers I made for this Video
I think Chris was at about the first or second attempt of his script when he posted this video.
He has changed it a few times since then., based partly on comments similar to yours.
Currently the script brings up a GUI with various options: installing software; making changes; reversing those changes; repairing changers made by other people’s scripts, etc., and so only specific software is installed if you click a button to do it.
I think this list shows approximately the progression of Chris’s script since this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srvz8-5qReo
I tend to prefer to install software myself. Sometime for example, I have a stable older version of a software, and I keep a copy of that exe file to re install from, if and when needed, and I prefer to choose when I update the software to the newest version, if at all. But the newest script at this time, allows you to choose if and what you install, so that’s cool.
I think the answer to that is two fold.
_1 Most likely not, unless your games might be typical known things that people regard as bloat ware, in which case the script may remove them. Best is to check the script and tweak it if necessary, as I try to explain in my a few replies below.
_2 Some other things that the script CAN do might effect your games. But the script currently brings up a GUI giving you button options both to do things and also to then undo what you did, in case anything causes problems.
This is an approximate list of the more recent videos where Chris has developed the Debloat script further. He is adding a lot more options to do other things as well as Debloating, and so just recently he tends to refer more often to the thing as a Tool rather than a Debloat script.

Now, regarding tweaking the script before you use it:
Chris does not maker it a too clear how to tweak the script in this video, and an explanation is difficult in the confines of the YouTube comments, especially as longer comments often get tanked as spam, either immediately or some time later.
But I will try an explanation, and I will number the replies so you can see if they all post. This is 1 of 10.
2 of 10. First forget about the one line to run command. Instead you need to go to the place where Chris has his script and download a Zip file containing some files including the main ps1 file that you need. I cannot unfortunately write here where it is, as that always triggers a YouTube comment to be deleted.
3 of 10. You can get the info from where to get the script at the link shown at exactly this point of a previous video from Chris
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfd7BXCo9Xk&t=344s
( ignore the rest of that video for now because its talking about the one code line to run method which is no use to us because with that we wouldn't get a chance to modify the script before it runs)
4 of 10
The download of the zip file method is also very similar to how Chris explained how to do it in a previous video, but note he was at that time using someone else’s script:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4ziE5Am0pM&t=86s
What you need to do is a similar Zip File download but from a similar place, but where Chris now has his script.
5 of 10. You need to unzip the downloaded zip file and note where you have chosen to put the unzipped master file containing all the files including the ps1 file. ( Actually, we are only interested in the ps1 file )
It does not matter where you put it, but you need to make a note of the path to it because its needed later in a command line.
6 of 10. What you then need to do is check through the script by opening it with a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad + +
Look through it and use a # to comment out any lines that you might think might remove anything you want
7 of 10. As example for me, I have always had to make sure that I comment out any lines in a Debloat code section containing
Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub
If I don’t do that, then my Microsoft office gets removed, which can be a disaster for me as its not easy the get the software re installed : ( despite having the original disc with a valid licence Key, Microsoft don’t accept the Key more than a few times to be used. ( To get the support from Microsoft to re install a valid licensed software they often charge you more money than the cost of new software.) )
( Post 7 got tanked a lot )
8 of 10. Once you are happy with that ps1 file and have saved it then you need make a note of where you have the file, and then follow the steps given to run it, for example in this previous video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4ziE5Am0pM&t=37s
But note that in that video, Chris breaks off at one point to download the zip file. You ignore that bit, because you would have done that already if you have done what I tried to explain in the last few comments
9 of 10. Just to make clear again what you do:
_ First get and unzip the zip folder containing the ps1 script file. Usually Chris has this folder named something like win10script-master, but he might change that now that windows 11 is here. ( His script is currently planned to work on either Windows 10 or windows 11 )
_ Open and check through the ps1 file with a text editor and remove or comment out any lin4es that might remove anything you don’t want removed.
_ Open the power shell window as Administrator
_ use some code lines something similar to those I will attempt to post in my last of these 10 comments
10 of 10. These are typical command lines. Your path will vary to where you have chosen to pot the unzipped master folder. Note that you don’t actually need to do the dir line. But that is a useful way to check that things are going as planned, as the dir command will list out all the files in the master folder, and you should see , amongst other things, the important .ps1 file that we need
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
cd 'C:\My Foldert\My Sub Folder\win10script-master'
dir
.\win10debloat.ps1
Perhaps just one final note. The script from Chris is intended to work with both windows 10 and windows 11. So you may find that he changes the name of those files and folders as he continues to improve and develop it.
Lots of simple to answer questions left unanswered in comments of the videos. Attempts to answer them with a reply often results in the reply being deleted. Not a big issue. Just saying. There is not a lot of point in anyone commenting if they have a question.
I will take a guess that a lot Hate comments was caused by the last script or scripts. Chris seems to have gone quiet on it for almost a year, and I would not be surprised if he removed some comments in the meantime…
