Powershell script to clean Windows 10

The following is a PowerShell script clean-up Windows 10. I wrote this for Windows 10 Pro computers in a work environment that need to get the most performance, and eliminate a lot of the build-in crap, and get as much privacy as possible.

Read the script and edit what you would like to change before you run it.

Run at your own risk, I don’t take any responsibility.

# If this does not run, run the following command to allow PowerShell scripts
#Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force

#This will self elevate the script so with a UAC prompt since this script needs to be run as an Administrator in order to function properly.

Get rid of ads in your Start menu

When you install Windows 10 with default settings, you see apps on the right side of your Start menu. Microsoft calls them “suggestions,” but they are actually ads for Windows Store apps they want you to buy.

To get rid of the ads in your Windows 10 Start menu, go to Settings > Personalization > Start. Unselect the setting called Show suggestions occasionally in Start to the off position.

Take a screenshot

To capture and save a picture of your entire screen, the easiest way is to hit the Windows key + Print Screen key, and that picture will be saved to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.

To capture just one part of your screen, hit the Windows key + Shift + S to open a tool called Snip & Sketch, which allows you to click and drag to create a screenshot, which is saved to your Clipboard.

Windows God Mode

God Mode doesn’t give you secret features in Windows. It’s just a special folder you can enable that exposes most of Windows’ admin, management, settings, and Control Panel tools in a single, easy-to-scroll-through interface. The God Mode folder offers an easier way to browse through over 200 of these tools and get to know them.

To do this you must be using an account with administrative privileges. On your desktop right-click and select “New” on the context menu, and then click “Folder”. The new folder icon will appear.

Now, rename the folder to the following:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Double-click the icon to open the newly-created God Mode. The major categories are organized alphabetically and so are the more than 200 settings you’ll find within those categories.

Free Browser plugin you should be using

Privacy Badger

Privacy Badger is a browser add-on that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at on the web. If an advertiser seems to be tracking you across multiple websites without your permission, Privacy Badger automatically blocks that advertiser from loading any more content in your browser. To the advertiser, it’s like you suddenly disappeared.

#1 Internet Security Tip

Create an alternate ID

Avoid a lot of the worries about your ID being stolen, make an alternate ID, to use that when you are asked for your personal information. If the website gets hacked, the thieves get your fake information. If you are paying by credit card, use your real information for the Billing and your Shipping address, and if there is an option for the site NOT to save your credit card, select it. There is no such thing as perfect security, but this helps.

Write down the details of your alternate ID so you can be consistent. If you need help creating an alternate ID go to http:\\fakenamegenerator.com
