My suggestion is don't. Microsoft has made Windows obnoxious, but many of those scripts degrade security (by design) and may break features consumers depend on. Most of Windows' annoyances can be disabled in their provided Settings UI. If someone isn't knowledgeable enough to do this by hand, they shouldn't be blindly running scripts they cannot revert and that there is no support for. There are articles like this one that guide you though the heavy hitters for bad settings: https://beebom.com/change-windows-11-settings/ https://beebom.com/change-windows-11-settings/ The great thing about this is that you can read what these settings do for yourself, there is official support for them, and you can revert them just as easily. In future Windows Updates you also won't have "unusual" things occurring since, again, this is officially supported. No doubt I'll get dumped on for this, but realistically people online suggesting running scripts that turn off features like Desktop SmartScreen, Edge SmartScreen, Windows Update(!), File History, Windows Search, blocking random domains in the hosts file, or these nebulous "performance tweaks"[0] which I could write paragraphs about the problems alone.
