• Removed code block in main bat file that would handle the ps1 script call

25/5/22 [v2.4.1-STABLE]

25/5/22 [2.4 mostlystable] The most stable version in a while

• "Commented" Indiana Jones style swaps of systemapps
• A lot more reg key patches
• Extended route table filter
• Extended MS telemetry list
• Housecleaning
• Hopefully a fix for the gamebar ms-overlay bug (if not I will implement the registry solution, implemented in 2.4.1)
• Removal of live kernel logs to free storage
• Local packages and local package cache are no longer removed by default
• Partial debloating of edge (shouldn't be using edge anyway but I do it because you "have to" use it prior to getting an alternative)
• Eliminating OfficeClickToRun.exe and its related svc
• Services added for removal by default: TapiSrv, WdiServiceHost, WinDefend, WdNisSvc, SecurityHealthService, ClickToRunSvc, OneSynSvc, DeviceAssociationService, DoSvc, wuausrv
• Added some additional optional services to delete (commented, uncomment them to include)
• Disabled Windows Defender
• Optional (commented) directories to remove for services a user may not use (like teams, office, etc)
• Added some firewall rules for certain systemapp non-removable binaries that should never be making outbound requests
• And more removal of modern computing horrors beyond my comprehension
