So it has become quite a bit harder to do this, as the package names have changed in Win10 and some of the commands in the 1st PS script I found do not work anymore to remove the "updated" packages. No, I cannot think of an example off the top of my head. Also there are reports of some the "features" coming back after updates, etc. I have had to delete all the tiles on the start menu by hand. OneDrive is still in your face on most systems, etc.

MS is making it quite hard to just cleanly remove the crap / adware / telemetry they build in.

If you have a script that works well would you please mind sharing it with the rest of us.

The only place I have Windows 10 is on my Intel Compute keys for the media center running Kodi. One of these days I will get around to trying to get Linux to run on those devices.




>as the package names have changed in Win10

Yes, you need a different script for 7 than 10

>some of the commands in the 1st PS script I found do not work anymore

use an updated script

>here are reports of some the "features" coming back after updates

That was once, it has been patched

>OneDrive is still in your face on most systems

Yes, my script (and most clones of it) remove it

>MS is making it quite hard to just cleanly remove the crap / adware / telemetry they build in

No, it's quite easy, I run one script once at install. That's the point.

Tron is probably the most comprehensive, personally I just use a modified version of Debloat: https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10
