Checked Scripts:
No scripts selected. Check boxes on the left to add scripts here.
not sure where to start? check out the dropdown menus, below :)
scroll through or search for a script that appeals to you. perhaps you miss a feature from a previous version of Windows? there could be a script to bring it back.
you're encouraged to look at the scripts with the (inspect) and (undo inspect) icons, before you run a script.
Step 1: Look for a script you like
- Find a script you like under "Select your scripts" and check at least 1 box
- When a box is checked, it's respective bar will appear under "Checked scripts".
- To the right of the bar, you'll see some buttons including (inspect) and (copy) for the script you just checked.
- Once you're happy with the script and you've hit the copy button, proceed to running the script, in the steps below!
Step 2: Open PowerShell and run your script
- Press (Windows) + R
- Type
powershell- don't hit Enter yet - you need to open as Admin first. - Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter (this opens as administrator)
- Click Yes when Windows asks for permission. You've now opened PowerShell, ready to run your script.
- With the script you copied earlier (copy again if needed), paste it using ctrl + v or Right-click paste into the PowerShell window.
- Press Enter to execute - don't worry, it won't run without your confirmation in the next step!
- Within PowerShell, review the script details carefully—each step will show what changes will be made. If everything looks correct, type yes or y and then Enter again to finally execute the script.
- Congrats, you just ran a script! Keep reading what it says in the command line (within PowerShell) to see each step as it's carried out.
Tip: Some scripts may take a few seconds to complete. Don't close PowerShell until you see the process finish.
tl;dr: all scripts are just a list of instructions. these scripts change registry files on your computer - basically extra settings that might be difficult to reach otherwise.
*most* scripts have a reverse/undo script. with the exception of "Remove Preinstalled Apps", use the (undo) button, directly next to the (copy) button. it works in exactly the same way - paste it into your terminal and hit Enter!
