How to run the script:

Automated Install:

The script may be launched from the extracted GitHub download like this:

iwr -useb 'https://simeononsecurity.ch/scripts/windowsoptimizeanddebloat.ps1'|iex

Manual Install:

If manually downloaded, the script must be launched from an administrative powershell in the directory containing all the files from the GitHub Repository

The script "sos-optimize-windows.ps1" includes several parameters that allow for customization of the optimization process. Each parameter is a boolean value that defaults to true if not specified.

• $diskcompression: Compresses the system disk.
• $updatemanagement: Changes the way updates are managed and improved on the system.
• $sosbrowsers: Optimizes the system's web browsers.

An example of how to launch the script with specific parameters would be:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force
Get-ChildItem -Recurse *.ps1 | Unblock-File
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File .\sos-optimize-windows.ps1 -cleargpos:$false -installupdates:$false
