I'm having an issue figuring out how to disable the Settings/Privacy telemetry. The description for one of the them says "Turn off the advertising ID" and the options are "Enable" or "Disable". Which option disables telemetry for this specific option. The wording has me very confused. Based on the wording, "Enable" would turn off the advertising ID...but the word disable also suggests that it would disable the telemetry.
Man, I wish I saw this a week ago, I have been googling how to disable stuff on WIn 10 for using for a HTPC..... I'll try this tonight to see if I missed anything !
on the face of this tweak, it looked promising, but I did not see much benefit to the tweaks technically limited, and on some tweaks you cannot revert to original settings. So I chose the revert all changes option, this messed up Windows 10, also changed group policy setting, messed up windows update settings, made changes to the system that did not exist before installing then using revert all option. I would not recommend the use of this tweak, now I have to reinstall Windows 10 to get my full functionality back. So to summarize "needs a lot more work, at best a beta" not recommended in current form
Open CMD as administrator and put this command: Code: powershell "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage" Enjoy
Love love love this utility. One question that I didnt find in this thread though. Which one of these settings disables the full desktop version of skype? I've narrowed it down to one of the telemetry settings. It allows you sign but screws with group chat capabilities.
I have use it to tweak LTSB x64 N and now i do not have any option available in Control Panel -> Program and Features -> Turn Windows Fearures ON/OFF any option left . Also the .NET Framework it's reported to be missing. Please help !
Will this ever be updated again? Not all of the options work with the present build. Are there any alternatives to this that are being supported?
Hello guys With Anniversary Update coming in a few days i will take some time to update this tool just tell me what's broken or any things that you want to add and i will see what i can do concerning the problems posted in Replies above i tried those options and everything is working from my end so i need confirmations from at least two people that a feature isn't working to remove it ------------------------ LTSB option I think i will remove it not because it's not working (Working for me) But just because it messes a lot with Windows settings and files and i don't want it to mess with people computers because that's frustrating even for me ------------------------ I won't touche anything in the code until Anniversary Update is out and everyone is using it i would love some feedback from people using the latest insider build.
In my quest to "Tame Windows 10", I've looked all over for different tweak tools. So far this is one of the better ones because of its simple interface and ability to revert changes. The only changes I have in mind as of now is the telemetry outbound firewall rule disallowing traffic to 168.61.0.0/16. This hinders your ability to use some of the file sharing attributes with others, on the full desktop version of Skype Good call on waiting on until the Redstone 1 Anniversary Update - could not agree more Thanks for the great utility!
Add toggle option for show/hide email info on login screen. For security purposes. Add toggle option for show/hide display user account picture on login screen and I mean all including default For personal preference. Sometimes the user account picture on login screen just does not blend in well with the background. Sometimes I just want a clean login screen. Thanks for this script and looking forward to update.
Here is what needs fixing from my experience. I installed Windows from version 10.0.10586.0. I feel that might have something to do with the tool not working if it's a different version. 1) When the tool was used to remove Cortana and Edge, the icons were left in the Start menu. In addition, with Edge, say it's launched due to some program launching it because defaults were not setup prior, Edge will pop up for a split second and then close. I do not believe the present way is working. 2) Candy Crush game remover doesn't work. I forget if there is a twitter one there too, but that doesn't work either.
I found a way to remove User info in logon screen and it will hide your Profile Pic automatically but it will ask you to enter you username or Email or phone and your Pass everytime you want to logon if this will work for you i will add it
Cortana and Edge icons it's not the script fault or that it's not Working the problem is that those apps are deeply integrated in the system that you can't remove them ======== If you want to remove Edge completely why is it still your default browser that's for you to change I will see about those
Please when you install the Anniversary Update use Toggle tweaker and tell me if some hing isn't working or if you want me to add something the script
From my testing on version 3.4 of the script on the new Anniversary Update: Works: Cortana seems to be able to be uninstalled as before but double checking that the script properly removes it and the search system would be nice. Onedrive can also be removed with the current version of the script. The old photo viewer can also be restored Does not work: Removing built-in apps seems broke as it doesn't appear to uninstall any of the apps. Disabling windows smart screen filter doesn't seem to work as it still tries to check applications even after applying the tweak and restarting.
