About Sophia Script for Windows
Sophia Script for Windows is a PowerShell module that configures Windows 10 and Windows 11 through a large set of individual functions. You edit a preset script to choose which changes to apply, then run it. This covers privacy settings, removal of built-in components and many interface tweaks.
The repository includes download scripts that fetch the latest version and a wrapper folder alongside the module. It suits people who want scripted, repeatable control over a Windows install and are comfortable reading what each function does before running it.
