    @freddie-o

    Have your scripts been tested with W10/11 Home/Pro variants?
    And if I actually want to enable something I can just go to each section and remove lines?

    Yes. Lately I've been switching between Home and Pro
    Although I noticed in Home, there are some executables that are phoning Home so I added these lines to the script
    Code:
    rem == disable executables that collect and transmit data ==
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\CompatTelRunner.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "%windir%\System32\systray.exe" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\DeviceCensus.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "%windir%\System32\systray.exe" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\SIHClient.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "%windir%\System32\systray.exe" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\WaaSMedicAgent.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "%windir%\System32\systray.exe" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\wsqmcons.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "%windir%\System32\systray.exe" /f
    
    You can modify the script anyway you want but I won't be able to help you there

    I was surprised once using Windows Home that Windows Update started working and downloading some updates and drivers
    I am not sure but I think if "WaaSMedicAgent.exe" phones Home it will restore Windows Update Services

    Thanks! Yea i really dont care about Home but I know some who still uses it.
    Understandably you cant support something I'm doing on my own :p

    I can use sc config to pre disable (or set to manual) services here also right

    Hi @freddie-o,

    If I wanted to restore native Microphone functions, would all I have to do is remove these two lines from the script?
    I did a control + f for "microphone" and these were the only lines it found.

    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy" /v "LetAppsAccessMicrophone" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\microphone" /v "Value" /t REG_SZ /d "Deny" /f 
    Thank you

    Why not test on a running OS first to check
    It looks to me like you're adding a Store App that will use the microphone? So that's another thing to consider if it does not work
    But as I said
