Disabling Telemetry = Enabling
Enabling Telemetry = Disabling

Is there something wrong with this part of the script?

The toggles between Cortana enabling or disabling are change some another registries(Ink & Pen) but not affecting Cortana

If($Cortana -eq 0) {
	If($ShowSkipped -eq 1){ DisplayOut 'Skipping Cortana...' -C 15 }
} ElseIf($Cortana -eq 1) {
	DisplayOut 'Enabling Cortana...' -C 11
	$Path = 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InputPersonalization'
	Remove-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Personalization\Settings' -Name 'AcceptedPrivacyPolicy'
	Remove-ItemProperty -Path "$Path\TrainedDataStore" -Name 'HarvestContacts'
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name 'RestrictImplicitTextCollection' -Type DWord -Value 0
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name 'RestrictImplicitInkCollection' -Type DWord -Value 0
} ElseIf($Cortana -eq 2) {
	DisplayOut 'Disabling Cortana...' -C 12
	$Path = CheckSetPath 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Personalization\Settings'
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name 'AcceptedPrivacyPolicy' -Type DWord -Value 0
	$Path = CheckSetPath 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InputPersonalization'
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name 'RestrictImplicitTextCollection' -Type DWord -Value 1
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name 'RestrictImplicitInkCollection' -Type DWord -Value 1
	$Path = CheckSetPath "$Path\TrainedDataStore"
	Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name 'HarvestContacts' -Type DWord -Value 0
}

I've found some Cortana HKCU registries that the script doesnt change:
"CortanaEnabled"
"CanCortanaBeEnabled"
"DeviceHistoryEnabled"
"CortanaConsent"
"CortanaInAmbientMode"
"BingSearchEnabled"
"VoiceActivationEnableAboveLockscreen"
"HistoryViewEnabled"

Describe the bug
On a fresh Windows 10 install I selected "Show/Add" for all of the folders under "This PC". After I click run, before it reboots, I can see the icons when I open File Explorer. But after reboot the icons disappear again.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select "Show/Add" for all of the folders under "This PC"
2. Run

Expected behavior
Icons should show when in File Explorer

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Windows 10 Home
• Version 1803
• Build 17134.472

Additional context

• Script Version: 3.6.5
• Release Type: Stable

Step:

1. Store the scripts in D:\some\spaced folder\
2. Launch the _Win10-Script-Run.bat

Expected behavior

Win10-Menu.ps1 is launched.

Actual behavior

A PS console windows is open and closed immediately.

If you want me to put an App that can be 'Hide/Unhide/Uninstall' using my script please do the following

Give me the result of the following in powershell

$pkgname='NAME OF APP HERE'
(Get-AppxPackage "*$pkgname*").Name

and the name of what the app is called.

Example:

$pkgname='Netflix'
(Get-AppxPackage "*$pkgname*").Name

will return 4DF9E0F8.Netflix

so for the above example you reply with
4DF9E0F8.Netflix
Netflix

Please ONLY put apps that are installed on new install/computers and are NOT OEM apps (like dell, hp, etc)

Tested: v.3.5.0

Offending line:

Set-ItemProperty -LiteralPath 'HKCR:\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Sharing' -Name '(Default)' -Type String -Value ''

but the last one works fine:

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCR:\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ModernSharing' -Name '(Default)' -Type String -Value ''

Windows 10 Pro 1803

Thanks for your awesome work!

With the last spring update, Windows add a new feature called Timeline.

It is possible to add enable/disable this feature from Win10Script?

Following this link by Microsoft, it can be done by the key register
EnableActivityFeed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System.

Thanks :)

Ideally this would help in locking down the PC.

Hi, just wanted to drop a quick note. I'm far from an expert powershell guru, but I did run across something that the script was not doing properly.

When selecting the option to show the task manager, it gets stuck in an endless loop while waiting for a value to show up that just won't ever.

Lines 2060 and 2065 (Script version 3.2.8 end with piping the output of the variable assignment to Out-Null. So the variable ends up with a null value.

Removing the pipe to null solves the problem.

Before:

$TaskManKey = Get-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name "Preferences" | Out-Null
If(!($TaskManKey)) {
	$taskmgr = Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden -FilePath taskmgr.exe -PassThru
	While(!($TaskManKey)) {
		Start-Sleep -m 250
		$TaskManKey = Get-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name "Preferences" | Out-Null
	}

After:

$TaskManKey = Get-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name "Preferences"
If(!($TaskManKey)) {
	$taskmgr = Start-Process -WindowStyle Hidden -FilePath taskmgr.exe -PassThru
	While(!($TaskManKey)) {
		Start-Sleep -m 250
		$TaskManKey = Get-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name "Preferences"
	}

Like I said, I'm still at an intermediate level with Powershell, so if my thoughts are wrong, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope I helped.
