    There's more things on the net that you shouldn't do than you should, if you're gonna start running random scripts you found online, that's no different to running random exes, or sending your bank details to random scammers

    Can't fix stupid :D

    Then I guess this topic or this forum should not exist at all, it does the same and it contains tons of topic with scripts, which actually break windows, just like privacy tools and such.

    It is like selling knives and when someone cut himself, he complains about it. Then again, I understand, Americans complain about everything, that they fail to use properly.

    No wonder, they have to put signs, like on a microwave: Do not use it to dry out your cat. :)

    I offer support, when needed, but only 3 people contacted me about this one, like loosing internet connection because of disabled DNS service, so I have added custom DNS to fix that.

    EDIT: I have forgot to mention, that I have Light version as well (it does not mess up Windows so much, just a little), I have linked it to the original plus added one more warning.

    I only know basic batch scripting, but if I were to make a gui to select them, would it only consist of
    1. labelling everything :Tweak1, :Tweak2, etc
    2. then echoing a menu -> getting user input -> calling the :Label
    that's all right?

    Anyone know how to integrate some telemetry-blocking type tweaks into a mounted (is the term called "mounted" when referring to the opened up contents of a WIM?) install.wim? If it's not possible, or requires Audit mode, then I may just run a script from our stickied Telemetry Repo post-install.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your personal "Windows Tweaks".
    I have for myself, appropriate attitudes.

    You have to read exactly what you are doing.
    And do not just run the complete tweak.

    Thanks for that, saves me a lot of time after a fresh installation of Windows.

    Thanks
    :clap:

    I love Linux as well.. but for things that I enjoy (media center, sound recording, games, ) linux is trash. I use it to browse the internet, brush up my coding skills, etc.. but thats really all it is good for to me.

    lot of the links posted in the 1st post goes nowhere.

    is it: an issue with the forum update OR the tweak does not work anymore? thanks

    -------------------------------

    Edit: Can someone please tell me how to disable Windows Firewall via registry? I already know how it can be done using Control Panel/Windows Settings.

    Thanks again

    just tried it. it doesn't work. I also rebooted my machine and I opened regedit to check the entries are there.
