The Win10 Initial Setup Script is a community-driven automation script to apply system tweaks, optimizations, and privacy settings to fresh Windows 10 installations. It bundles configurable modifications—disabling telemetry, configuring power plans, uninstalling bundled apps, setting registry tweaks, and adjusting updates—to align the system with power users’ preferences. Because many base Windows configurations ship with defaults suboptimal for performance or privacy, the script gives a reproducible mechanism to apply consistent settings across installs. The script is modular: users can enable or disable individual sections depending on need or sensitivity. Logging and dry-run options let users preview changes before committing them. As a reproducibility tool, it helps users maintain baseline configurations across hardware setups without manually clicking through deep settings panels.
Features
- Many individual tweak functions, grouped into “presets” so you can apply a collection of tweaks together or selectively
- Ability to include custom tweak libraries/modules via command line parameters
- Each tweak comes with a matching function to restore default settings (“undo”) where feasible
- Supports tweaking of security settings, UI settings, visibility of files, extensions, privacy settings etcetera for Windows environments
- Designed to be idempotent: running it repeatedly should not break things or re-apply the same tweak redundantly
- Uses elevated privileges; some tweaks require admin rights; works via PowerShell, command line, preset files etcetera
