This is a PowerShell script for automation of routine tasks/setting on Windows 10. This is by no means a complete set of settings. (There is ALOT that can be changed/done)
The original basic script created by https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script/
^ We have some of the same setting and a few different stuff too
This script is a Highly Modded version of the 2.0 script by Disaseembler0. The script has added items with an easy way to change settings and options using a GUI.
