-## Automating a range of operations based on a template. ##
-
-Download the template file and edit it accordingly.
-Then, execute it like this: ```optimizer.exe /config=template.json```
-
-### Download the template: ###
-https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer/blob/master/templates/optimizer-template.json
-
-### WindowsVersion (required) ###
-* Should match your actual Windows version. Available values: ```7 | 8 | 10 | 11```
-
-### Cleaner ###
-* Choose which target folder you wish to clean by marking ```true```
-
-### Pinger ###
-* Choose your desired DNS provider.
-* Available values: ```Automatic | Cloudflare | OpenDNS | Quad9 | Google | AlternateDNS | Adguard | CleanBrowsing | CleanBrowsing (adult filter)```
-* If you wish to perform DNS cache flushing, set it to ```true```
-* Example:
-```
-"Pinger": {
-    "SetDNS": "Cloudflare",
-    "FlushDNSCache": true
-}
-```
-
-### ProcessControl ###
-* Choose which processes you wish to prevent from running, using their filename.
-* You can remove previously prevented processes, in order to allow them to run again.
-* Example: 
-```
-"ProcessControl": {
-	"Prevent": ["chrome.exe", "firefox.exe"],
-	"Allow": ["opera.exe"]
-}
-```
-
-### Hosts ###
-* Control your hosts entries. ```Add``` list adds the entries, ```Block``` list routes the entries to ```0.0.0.0``` effectively blocking access to them.
-* Example:
-```
-"HostsEditor": {
-    "Block": ["youtube.com", "google.com"],
-    "Add": [
-	    {
-	    	"Domain": "test.com",
-	    	"IPAddress": "192.168.1.5",
-	    	"Comment": "comment is optional"
-	    },
-	    {
-	    	"Domain": "test2.com",
-	    	"IPAddress": "192.168.1.9",
-	    	"Comment": ""
-	    }
-    ]
-}	
-```
-
-### RegistryFix ###
-* You can try enabling core Windows components by marking them ```true```
-* You typically do not need this, unless you are trying to repair a computer from malicious actions
-
-### Integrator ###
-* ```TakeOwnership```: Mark ```true``` to add a "Take Ownership" option in right-click menu. Remove it by marking ```false```
-* ```OpenWithCMD```: Mark ```true``` to add a "Open CMD here" option in right-click menu. Remove it by marking ```false```
-
-### AdvancedTweaks ###
-* Deeply technical tweaks that you should NOT touch, unless you know what you are really doing
-
-* ```UnlockAllCores```: DO NOT use this option. Leave it ```null``` or ```false```.
-* ```DisableHPET```: Enables or disables High Precision Event Timer.
-* ```EnableLoginVerbose```: Enables or disables Detailed Login Screen
-
-#### SvchostProcessSplitting ####
-* Mark it ```true``` and set the amount of ```RAM``` to reduce the svchost.exe processes for optimal memory
-* Mark it ```false``` to enable process splitting for optimal performance
-
-### Tweaks ###
-* Mark the options you want to APPLY to ```true```
-* Mark the options you want to RESET to ```false```
-* Mark the options you want to IGNORE to ```null```
-
-### PostAction ###
-* Final action after executing the template.
-* You may mark ```Restart``` to ```true``` to restart in order to effectively apply the changes.
-* You may choose between different types of restarting by configuring ```RestartType```
-* ```Normal``` performs a normal restart
-* ```SafeMode``` performs a restart in minimal safemode
-
-* ```DisableDefender```: you can disable Windows defender (Windows 10/11 needs this) by going through safemode and returning, everything automated
-* ```EnableDefender```: same, but for enabling Windows defender
