[Script] Windows 10 TNBT (The next big Tweak) v6.5.6 -official thread-

Odd! I use it in all my scripts that require elevation, and have never run into issues. As far as I can tell, the only real difference is that it uses the architecture appropriate cacls, and uses cmd to launch the vbs script created.

Perhaps a conflict with something else, or it didn't get copied correctly?
regardless, if you change

Code:

set params = %*:"=""
echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c ""%~s0"" %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

back to

Code:

echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

it should work, seems whatever is causing the issue doesn't like that cmd launch.

As you said, it's not -necessary- but it is nice to use the appropriate method. *shrug*

Thanks for taking my input into mind though! like I said, project definitely has potential.

 

thanks for keeping it updated

 

No problem. Like I said, I welcome any kind of feedback.

"%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\config\system" will always cause a loop, you might try it yourself. Definitely not working this way.

 

Hmm. So I just noticed in some of my VM's that some OS's I'm using have 64-bit registry files present, and some do not. And those which do, still have the 32-bit registry present(who knows which is actually used, but the point is that all we're doing is checking if we have access to a particular file that we know exists) So the only check you'd really have to do is for CACLS..

Code:

IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" EQU "amd64" (
IF EXIST "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\system"
) ELSE (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\system"
))

(or if you wanted to be REALLY thorough, you could do a full check)

Code:

IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" EQU "amd64" (
IF EXIST "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" (
IF EXIST "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\config\system" (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\config\system"
) ELSE (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\system"
)) ELSE (
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\system"
))

Sorry about that. I hadn't thought of the possibility that the OS may not have those files present, but would have 64-bit CACLS present.
Since we didn't have a check in there at all, it would just keep trying..

Hello.

Code:

Scheduled Tasks Tweaks:
- Disables all default Windows tasks

is this really good thing to do?

 

Sorry for the confusion. Not all tasks get disabled, only the unneeded ones link telemetry/feedback/error-reporting. Will change this in OP now.

 

Did OP abandon ship?

 

Updated to v6.4 with some fixes here and there.
I will work on a better way to autorun the anti-ransomware script.

Nope, I was just busy the last few days.

 

Cant write on Microsoft Edge or Wifi Settings

After apply the option Scheduled Tasks Tweaks i cant write in edge browser or if i have to write wifi password.

If i restore scheduled task everything its working again.

Thanks for your time and this great script.

 

super super super super

 

That's odd, never ran into any problem like that. I will look into it.
Also v6.4.1 released with some bugs fixed.

 

I will try and inform you asap.

Thanks for your time.

 

You should not have hower taskbar/start menu delay put on 0, it causes mess and programs supporting hower function cannot be clicked on since hower is remoed instant, i suggest 100ms as default also let people decide if they want windows audio back.

 

Hi there, I used your script but there is something I wish it wouldn't do. How can I exempt it from disabling local search (files only) in windows 10?
May I know the correct registry so that I can use file search when I enable scheduled task tweak?

Thnx in advance.

 

The registry tweaks will only disable websearch/cortana and remove the searchbar from taskbar.
On my previously tested VMs, local search always worked.

I agree on the delay, this is already fixed in the upcoming v6.5 release.
Again, I won't add too many switches in the script, since this is not it's purpose. If you want a more flexible solution, please use Toggle Tweaker.

EDIT: v6.5 is out.
