Many miscellaneous improvements in this release! Have a look at what's changed:
- Added binary for OS version 1909 and dropped support for 1809
- Cortana disabling procedure now includes web results disabling in Windows Search
- Fixed firewall rule to block Cortana (it was not correctly applied previously)
- The procedure to make system apps removable has been made much more reliable and less failure-prone
- Edge removal menu entry is now functional again and uses the method added in 3.0
- Clarify explanations for some of the operations
- Configuration: UWP app groups
MailAndCalendar
andPeople
have been merged in a single group calledCommunicationsApps
(this is because they all depend on sync host service, which gets removed by post-uninstall operations) - The application will ask you for confirmation when you try to terminate it with Ctrl+C
- When the application is force-closed, running child processes (e.g. install-wim-tweak) are killed. This is useful if you want to emergency-stop an operation you ran by accident
- Temporarily extracted install-wim-tweak will now be locked while the program is open to prevent it from being replaced/deleted by a third party
- Minor improvements to OneDrive removal process
Starting from this version, the program is distributed in a single standalone EXE that doesn't require anything installed on your machine. This results in a bigger bundle size and a slightly longer start-up time in some cases, but it allows the application to being fully independent and, in the future, to adopt new technologies faster.
