Decrapify Windows 10 - remove most modern apps (appx) and disable telemetry and tighten privacy

Found a great script to run in audit mode when you install Windows 10 to decrapify the installation, by removing most modern apps (appx) and disable telemetry and tighten privacy. There is a group over at SpiceWorks for the script discussion and download: https://community.spiceworks.com/user-groups/windows-decrapifier-group Here is the link to the page that has all the links in one handy page:  https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2148595-links

How to hide an user account in Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 [Updated]

This might work in previous versions of Windows, but I've only tried it in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. I've got a MFP (multi-function printer) from Dell that I use to scan directly to a shared folder on my computer. For this I use a seperate user that has share/write permissions on a shared folder. I don't want to show this user in the Windows 10 list, so here is how to hide it: Start regedit and navigate here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Create a new sub-KEY under Winlogon named ' SpecialAccounts ' Create a new sub-KEY under SpecialAccounts named ' UserList ' In UserList, create a DWORD (32-bit) and give it the name of the user account. Leave the value at 0. Log out or Reboot Update: Verified to work in Windows 10.
