    I don't understand what you mean by "uefi boot iso folder"

    From what I saw for Elevate_as_TI v1.3.ps1 to work - the folder must exist: C:\Window\Logs. And inside it a file is created in which data is constantly recorded about what is being executed. That is, this information is accumulated in one file.

    The folder C:\Window\Logs was deleted by me, I delete it every day and then I created it to test Elevate_as_TI v1.3.ps1.

    But why is this folder necessarily needed?! In terms of privacy it is worrying that a file is created in which everything is recorded about what is opened when using Elevate_as_TI v1.3.ps1. If it were possible to use Elevate_as_TI v1.3.ps1 without creating such a file... :cool:

    Why the script needs a log?
    When a script does something powerful — like running programs with the highest possible Windows privileges — If something goes wrong (a program crashes, something behaves unexpectedly, or you just want to know what happened), the log file tells you exactly what the script did and when. Without it, troubleshooting would be guesswork.

    Why it logs to C:\Windows\Logs specifically?
    C:\Windows\Logs is safe — only Administrators and Windows itself can write there. If the log were kept somewhere more open (like your regular Temp folder), a sneaky program running in the background could interfere with it or even trick the script into overwriting important system files. Using C:\Windows\Logs prevents that.

    What it records?
    When the script ran (timestamp)
    What file you asked it to launch
    Whether it succeeded or failed

    Update:
    Elevate_as_TI V1.4 — Privacy fix — Added a -NoLog switch. If you run the script with -NoLog, it writes nothing to disk at all — no file is created, no folder is needed. You still see what's happening in the terminal window, but nothing is saved anywhere. So users who are concerned about privacy can simply use this option.

    Usage:
    Code:
    .\Elevate_as_TI.ps1 -NoLog
    
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "%~dp0Elevate_as_TI.ps1" -FilePath "%~f0" -WorkingDirectory "%~dp0." -NoLog

    Sorry guys
    Somehow adding StartMenuExperienceHost.exe to Image File Execution Options (IFEO) in Windows 10 breaks the Start menu - it won't launch
    But Start menu in Windows 11 works
    I'll be correcting the scripts and re-uploading the disable_telemetry package

    Uploaded the corrected script package
    disable_telemetry_08.04.2026.zip

    Removed StartMenuExperienceHost.exe in Image File Execution Options (IFEO) in Windows 10 and 11 scripts
    -- Adding StartMenuExperienceHost.exe to Image File Execution Options (IFEO) in Windows 10 prevented Start menu from launching altogether
    -- For safe measure it was removed from Windows 11 scripts too
