@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 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
