Note
This release changes how the script saves your last used settings, this means settings saved in the old format will no longer work with this release. You can use the MigrateSavedSettings.ps1 script provided with this release to migrate your old settings file if desired.
This release includes some significant improvements under the hood, in addition to the changes listed below.

You can now remove specific apps via the command-line by launching the script with the -RemoveApps parameter, and specifying the app(s) in the -Apps parameter as a comma separated list. Example: -RemoveApps -Apps "Microsoft.OneDrive,Microsoft.Copilot"
If you only use the -RemoveApps parameter then it will, like before, remove the default selection of apps as defined in the Appslist.txt file.
Until now the script's defaults were hardcoded in the script. With this release the script now comes with a DefaultSettings.json file allowing you to easily see (and change) what the script does by default. In addition, after running Default Mode, Custom Mode or App Removal Mode your settings will now be saved to LastUsedSettings.json which follows the same JSON format as the DefaultSettings.json file.
Please refer to the wiki for more information.
