Winscript is a lightweight, open-source Windows optimization tool that gives you full control over your system without touching a single line of PowerShell yourself. Built with Tauri + Astro and licensed under GPL-3.0, it presents every available tweak through a clean graphical interface, then generates a ready-to-run PowerShell script based on exactly what you selected. Whether you’re setting up a fresh Windows install, locking down a work machine, or just trimming the bloat from a retail PC, Winscript covers the entire workflow — from removing unwanted inbox apps all the way through creating a fully automated unattended Windows installation.Documentation Index

What Winscript Does
Winscript organizes its tweaks into focused sections, each targeting a different aspect of Windows customization:- Debloat — Uninstall pre-installed bloatware and unnecessary components: Microsoft Store, OneDrive, Copilot, Edge, Widgets, Recall, Consumer Features, and more.
- Privacy — Block app access to sensitive permissions, disable background syncing of themes and passwords, and stop usage tracking including activity feeds, screen recording, and location services.
- Telemetry — Shut down Microsoft’s data collection across Windows, Office, Windows Update, Search, and Feedback. Also disables third-party data collection from apps like Adobe, VS Code, Google, and Nvidia.
- Performance — Enable the Ultimate Performance power plan, reduce mouse input delays, disable Superfetch, HAGS, Storage Sense, and Search Indexing, tune Windows Defender CPU usage, and manage startup services.
- Gaming — Apply targeted tweaks to reduce input latency, disable background interference, and get the most out of your hardware while gaming.
- App Installer — Bulk-install your essential software in one click. Pick from browsers, utilities, dev tools, media players, and more; Winscript generates the install script using either Winget or Chocolatey.
- Unattended Setup — Generate a customized
autounattend.xmlto fully automate Windows installations: bypass hardware requirements, create local accounts, skip OOBE prompts, and automatically run your Winscript configuration post-setup.
