Κυκλοφόρησε ένα νέο βοηθητικό program που βοηθά στην εξάλειψη των αυστηρών απαιτήσεων συστήματος των Windows 11. The utility, in the form of a PowerShell script, is called UnattendedWinstall (UWScript) and is so named because it relies on files of Windows Answer (also called Unattend or AutoUnattend).
For those who don't know, Answer files are XML files that essentially allow users to pre-set, modify, and automate Windows ISO settings during installation. Other third-party applications such as NTLite also have this feature.
The app developer lists the features of the utility:
- Windows 10/11 Pro is installed by default
- Bypasses Windows 11 system requirements
- Disables Windows Defender services by default and enables them after installing Windows
- Disables User Account Control by default and enables it after installing Windows
- Allows the implementation PowerShell script από προεπιλογή
- Skips the forced creation of a Microsoft account during Windows installation
- Removes pre-installed bloatware apps except for Microsoft Edge, Notepad and Calculator
- Copilot and Recall are disabled.
- Configures privacy-related registry keys to disable telemetry
- Περιορίζει το Windows Update για εγκατάσταση μόνο ενημερώσεων ασφαλείας για ένα έτος
- It optimizes the registry with various optimization and customization keys
- See them functions “Set-RecommendedHKLMRegistry” και “Set-RecommendedHKCURegistry” για περισσότερες πληροφορίες
- Disables unnecessary scheduled tasks
- Adjusts Windows services for optimal performance
- Activates the Ultimate Performance power plan
In addition to the features, the application developer gives instructions on how to use the script:
Use the UWScript.ps1 file once Windows is installed to reapply or reset the settings in case Windows Update resets some of the settings or if you experience problems.
Before executing the script
Make sure 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 privileges and enabling script execution will ensure that UWScript.ps1 can apply the necessary changes to your system.
You can find it at official GitHub repository. As always with third-party apps, proceed at your own risk.
The developer says it works even with the latest version of Windows 11, version 24H2. However, Windows answer files cannot be used for in-place upgrades. So if you want an in-place upgrade, you can use it Rufus.
