## What it is
A PowerShell script that automates routine configuration tasks and tweaks after fresh installations of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019. It applies a curated set of settings to make the system less obtrusive, with customizable presets via command-line options.

## Use cases
- automate windows 10 setup after fresh install
- apply privacy and telemetry tweaks to windows server
- debloat windows 10 with a powershell script
- remove unwanted apps and ads from windows 10
- script windows post-install configuration for multiple machines
- customize windows settings with a tweak preset

## When to choose
- you need to quickly apply a known set of tweaks to fresh Windows 10/Server installs
- you want a customizable, scriptable alternative to manual post-install configuration
- you are comfortable reviewing PowerShell functions before running them

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained support for Windows 11 or newer builds (project is archived)
- you want a guaranteed-safe one-click fixer - the script can lower security or uninstall apps
- you require support or bug fixes from the maintainer
