    Hi thanks for making this.

    With 2.6 im getting a lot of errors which i cannot read because they dissappear quickly.
    But if i choose to disable telemetry "Stop various other telemtry settings" 11D, the script crashes completely.

    Also i think some part of it is blocking Ms Office activation servers, as my office suddenly shows unlicenced.

    Can you kindly add a "turn off screen" feature to the power options on Desktop. Sometimes, I just want to turn off the screen light of my laptop instantly without waiting for the timeout that I set by default. Thanks.

    Yasser - just did a quick search for "tab" in your batch file and you don't have a tweak to change alt-tab to classic mode. It's waaaayyyyy more faster than the new alt-tab which got even slower in Windows 10. The new alt-tab adds a preview of each window, which creates a lag that makes you have to hold the alt key a little longer instead of instantly switching between windows.

    Enable Classic Alt-Tab:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
    "AltTabSettings"=dword:00000001
    Disable Classic Alt-Tab:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
    "AltTabSettings"=-

    Here's another one, increase Taskbar Thumbnail size to 0x190/400, you can try other numbers. The original size is just to small for me:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband]
    "MinThumbSizePx"=dword:00000190
    Reset Taskbar Thumbnail size:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband]
    "MinThumbSizePx"=-

    I saw that tweak before and tried but i didn't notice any change so i prefered the look and didn't care about it
    but as long as it will help someone I'll add it for sure

    Nice tweak for big Screens


    I will add them in the Enable/Disable section

    Tried it on the latest TP and it required a reboot (or a forced restart of Explorer) to show effect.

    Used 2.6 yesterday on my secondary PC, a clear upgrade vs older builds, thanks mate.

    One suggestion though, It would be insanely cool if we could have like a "master switch" to disable all things related to Telemetry.

    Thanks again mate.

    This is great, keep up the good work.
    In fact, I was looking for an option to add other folders to 'Folders' under to 'This PC'.
    hope to see that soon. thank you

    thank you Yasser, I found your script very useful.

    Disabling TELEMETRY with master command does not let windows to activate using serial N°. Nothing bad, It means your script works :p

    Where is it exactly?
    Thanks!

    First Thank you for sharing your tool. I've been testing it with TH2 Enterprise in VMware pro 12(student).
    I notice that when you completely remove Cortana, it does not remove a start menu entry under "C":
    Code:
    @{Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_1.6.1.52_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h2txyewyms-resource--Microsoft.Windows.Cortana-resources-
    i can not delete this by right click, or moving it to the trashcan, maybe with overrides?

    Also when removing all built-apps (other than store) some other items get left behind in the start menu, like phone under "P", contacts under "C" and Skype Video (this was removable though). Also i see Microsfot Wi-FI under "M" maybe a new package that needs to go? Additionally Windows Feedback still remains, but i do not know if that is system critical.


    Legacy calculator- should also create a link in the start menu under "Windows Accessories" as a suggestion.

    I've used every thing else in the script, and at lest from my perspective seems to have run without error.

    If its possible to restore start menu search (for installed programs) but while still completely removing Cortana, could some one please inform me (im open to 3rd solutions if need be).
