+# Switch Parameters
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+There are 3 switch parameters in the Windows10SilentDebloater.ps1 script.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The first one is -SysPrep, which runs the command within a function: get-appxpackage | remove-appxpackage. This is useful since some administrators need that command to run first in order for machines to be able to properly provision the apps for removal.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The second switch parameter is -Debloat, which does as it suggests. It runs the following functions: Start-Debloat, Remove-Keys, and Protect-Privacy.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Start-Debloat removes all bloatware apps (that are listed above) without removing Store, Photos, Paint3d, and Calculator.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Remove-Keys removes registry keys leftover that are associated with the bloatware apps listed above, but not removed during the Start-Debloat function.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Third, Protect-Privacy adds and/or changes registry keys to stop some telemetry functions, stops Cortana from being used as your Search Index, disables "unneccessary" scheduled tasks, and more.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Finally, there is an optional switch parameter which is Stop-EdgePDF. This just stops Edge from taking over as the default PDF viewer. I made this optional since some do not find this necessary for them or their organization.
