Note
Use the UWScript.ps1
file once Windows is installed to reapply or revert settings in case Windows Update resets some of the settings or if you encounter any issues.
It can also be used to achieve a similar experience to UnattendedWinstall on an existing Windows installation without reinstalling Windows.
Before Running the Script
Ensure you open PowerShell as an administrator. Additionally, set the execution policy to allow script execution by running the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Running PowerShell with elevated permissions and enabling script execution will ensure that UWScript.ps1
can apply the necessary system changes.
