Private Windows Script, short for Private Windows, offers a comprehensive anti-telemetry script designed to enhance your privacy while using the Windows operating system.

Features

Aggressive process termination. All non-essential processes are shut down while the program scans. A small whitelist is maintained.
Aggressive RunOnce cleaning. All RunOnce entries are purged from the Windows Registry.
Aggressive Task Scheduler cleaning. This is a unique feature of the tool compared to others in its category. A small whitelist is maintained.
Clears these Event Viewer Logs: Application, Security, Setup, System, and ForwardedEvents.
Clears caches from the following programs if they are installed: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, Yandex, Mozilla Firefox, Floorp, Waterfox, Opera, Comodo Dragon, SteamLabs OBS, Discord, DirectX, Java, Wire, Steam, uTorrent, Battle.net, CurseForge, and CRL URL Cache(?).
Creates a System Restore Point named ‘PrivWindoze’. Use this if there are any accidents caused by the script. This will not be created if System Restore was manually turned off or turned off due to a malware infection.
Deletes BitsTransfer Jobs(?)
Deletes Temporary Internet Files. Does not delete cookies so your existing logins are not affected.
Turns off the ‘Show me suggested content in the Settings app’ feature of Windows 10 and 11. More of a personal preference thing, but most users would consider this an annoyance created by the Windows operating system.[1]
Restores the legacy right-mouse click Context Menu.
Removes Microsoft Edge, OneDrive, Bing, Cortana, Recall, ZuneVideo, ZuneMusic, Copilot, Xbox, Gamebar, and other preinstalled programs from OEM manufacturers such as Acer, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Sony, and Lenovo.
