Warning

Some third party anti-viruses will falsely detect the script as malicious, obviously this is a false positive and the anti-virus will need to be temporarily disabled or set the script as an exclusion.

Due to the nature of making advanced changes to the system many debloat tools/scripts will be falsely detected as malware… if you are unsure about the script I always recommend testing any software in a virtual machine first


Run From Powershell Console as Administrator


Warning

Running the script with PowerShell 7 can cause issues, to avoid this ensure you are running Windows PowerShell (5.1)

Note

Any feature added to an insider build will not be added to this script till it’s added to the latest stable release
