I Hate Microsoft

I Hate Microsoft (or IHM for short) is a Win10 Debloater. Still a WIP.

Functions

Brief overview of what each option actually does.

Bloat

Disabling first sets the following registry entries to 0. First string on each line is Registry location, second is Entry to be modified.

{ @"HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\AdvertisingInfo", "Enabled"}, // Windows Feedback experience
{ @"HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic", "FirstRunSucceeded"},// Mixed reality portal uninstallable
{ @"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications", "NoTileApplicationNotification"}, // Disable live tiles
{ @"HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\People", "PeopleBand" }, // People icon in Taskbar
{ @"HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager", "SystemPaneSuggestionsEnabled" } // Start Reccomendations

Then sets all of the following Entries in HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager to 0 as well

"ContentDeliveryAllowed",
"SOemPreInstalledAppsEnabled",
"PreInstalledAppsEnabled",
"PreInstalledAppsEverEnabled",
"SilentInstalledAppsEnabled",
"SystemPaneSuggestionsEnabled"

Re-Enabling is just this process but set to 1.

Telemetry

Modifies the hosts file in Windows, which is for mapping hostnames to IP Addresses. The file is written out with common addresses that Microsoft sends Telemetry to even after disabling Optional Data in the settings. They are all mapped to a loopback address; 127.0.0.1

May prevent you from accessing certain Bing services like the Widgets and Bing's new tab News Feed. Below is a list of each address.

• telemetry.microsoft.com
• settings-win.data.microsoft.com
• v10.vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
• diagnostics.support.microsoft.com
• a-0001.a-msedge.net
• edge.microsoft.com
• feedback.microsoft.com
• comptex.microsoft.com
• data.microsoft.com
• msftconnecttest.com
• azureedge.net
• activity.windows.com
• bingapis.com
• msedge.net
• assets.msn.com
• scorecardresearch.com
• data.msn.com

Then modifies more Registry Entries relating to Location tracking and Data Collection. When Re-Enabling, hosts is just overwritten with the default comments left by Microsoft, and Registry Entries are reverted to 1.

• UsoSvc
