This winter release brings several quality-of-life improvements, various fixes and a new feature! Here they are:
- Added support for Windows version 2009 aka 20H2 (October 2020 Update) and dropped support for 1909
- Added combined removal of both Edge Chromium and legacy UWP Edge (they are both installed on 20H2)
- Reboot recommendations after an operation is completed are more accurate (they're shown only when it's actually needed)
- Upon exiting, the program will prompt you to reboot the system if you have been recommended to do so
- User-specific settings in Windows Registry (used especially in Tweak settings for privacy and Disable tips) will now be applied to the Default user Registry hive too (and not only to the user which runs the tool)
- This means that those user-specific settings will also be applied to all users created after those operations have been run, so it's recommended to run them before you create any other user in the system
- The program will now be usable on an incompatible Windows version (if you really need to 😉) instead of just displaying a fatal error
- Steps Recorder will not be disabled anymore when disabling telemetry
- It is already a removable Windows feature since version 2004 and is not really telemetry-related
- Fixed default association of image files to legacy photo viewer after removing Photos app
- Miscellaneous minor tweaks and reliability improvements to Disable telemetry, Disable Defender, Remove miscellaneous services, Remove UWP apps, Remove OneDrive and Make system apps removable
- We've put the tool on a diet once again: published EXE is 15MBs smaller than the previous version 🥬
