Upon launching the script you will see that the script will create a folder called Windows10Debloater which it will use to store logs. If it detects that it has already been created previously then it will tell you that the folder already exists. The path will be: C:\Windows10Debloater
I added logging. It will record a transcript of your session and then output the transcript file into C:\Windows10Debloater. These can be used for troubleshooting or if you get error messages.
I added a Noninteractive switch so that instead of you choosing between "Interactive" and "Silent" it will only ask you 1 question, instead of the "Interactive" one asking you a couple of questions.
The "Interactive" switch doesn't automatically reboot your machine.
#This switch will ask you if you'd like to run the script as interactive or silently. Depending on your selection, yes will be interactive, no will be silent.
Write-Output"How would you like to run this script?"
Write-Output"Disabling Cortana from search, disabling feedback to Microsoft, and disabling scheduled tasks that are considered to be telemetry or unnecessary."
Protect-Privacy
Write-Output"Cortana disabled from search, feedback to Microsoft has been disabled, and scheduled tasks are disabled."
