Line 620 fails to remove the pinned Edge icon from the taskbar. Note: The transcript shows everything completes successfully… with *one* exception. Just search it for Rick amendment to see the changes I’ve made. Rather than list them all here I’ve attached my customised Windows 10 Decrapifier script in a zip file called decrap_22H2. I’ve made another ~25 additional registry changes, either for ‘look and feel’, privacy or performance.As a result, I’ve uncommented the line about the DmwApPushService and never had a failure. For example, although I use Sysprep I don’t use its Generalize option (as I’m not creating an image for different machines). I’ve made several additions to Services.I’ve made several additions to Scheduled Tasks, disabling an additional 5 (mostly about maps).I have a custom $StartLayoutStr that cleans the Start menu of *all* tiles except for Notepad, Paint and File Explorer.I’ve made one or two changes to $SafeApps due to my own personal preferences.I’ve made changes to $GoodApps so all that remains is “calculator|store|miracast” so all built-in apps but these three are removed.(As you can see… my install is pruned of UWP bloatware.)Īny suggestions on what to comment out or add?

On installs that are already established (e.g. I’ve tried several PowerShell debloater scripts and still find Windows 10 Decrapifier to be the best, particularly for returning full control with minimal CPU/disk/network usage *very* quickly after startup by reducing some of the scheduled tasks set to trigger at logon. DEFAULT account template… so *all* new accounts use the same settings and I don’t have to run debloater tools for each account. What I like most about it is that it works on the. I’ve been using Windows 10 Decrapifier for clean installs for about 4 years now and it’s never caused any problems, even though I’ve made several additions to the script.


It depends whether you want to debloat *during* a clean install to affect all new accounts or *after* installation/upgrade.
