    v1.4.1 - I know this can be "fixed" by enabling the Software Protection (SVCTrigger) task, but this...

    Something about an exe or service in the background just infinitely banging its head against the wall bugs me. There is this one, and another about the IP Helper (iphlpsvc) service. Would be nice to clean these all the way out to stop this, unless that would just trigger more errors, in which case I would just leave them on in the first place.

    @wkeller : Just a little suggestion, could you put an optional tweak to remove the inbuilt folder from the
    left view on File explorer (3d Objects, Desktop, documents, downloads, music, pictures, videos).
    So the File explorer is more like windows 7 explorer. Thanks for reading this.

    I'm wanting to try this out on an older pc. Also does this not include meltdown/specter patches?(Edit I see that's an option, nvm)

    Try this:
    Code:
    To access the Windows Services, follow these steps:
    
        Click Start, type Services.
        Right-click Services and click Run as administrator.
    
    Make sure that all three of these services are set to Automatic.
    
        Windows Update : Was set to Auto
        Storage Service : Was set to Manual, Set to Auto
        Windows Firewall : Was set to Auto
    
    To change the status of a service, double-click the Service, change the Startup type to Automatic and click OK to finish. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    not sure but i think you need to delete this line.
    Code:
    REM Disable Microsoft Account and non-password sign-in options
    Reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftAccount" /v "DisableUserAuth" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f >nul
