Sorry if this is against community guidelines, but I couldn’t find any rule that prohibits this. If there is any, please tell me, I’m open to remove the post.
Just randomly came across this one and it looked so good that I formatted my laptop (which runs windows, unfortunately for battery reasons) and did the set-up with this script. It is FOSS and very easy to use.
It can remove edge, cortana and other microsoft junk software, while being able to quickly install stuff, set-up profiles, etc.
Here’s the GitHub for it. I agree that I’m not one to just run a script blindly. https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil
edit: I’m such an idiot. My God. So i ran a different os hardening script. Guess what my dumbass forgot to do? Confirm the local admin username and password. Guess who’s locked out. Me. Woooow lol don’t be dumb like me. Create a checklist before hand. I guess i learned a fucking lesson lol.
