Windows 10 AME aims at delivering a stable, non-intrusive yet fully functional build of Windows 10 to anyone, who requires the Windows operating system natively.
Spyware systems, which are abundant in Windows 10 by default, have not been disabled using group policy, registry entries or various other workarounds — they have been entirely removed and deleted from the system, on an executable-level. This includes Windows Update, and any related services intended to re-patch the system via what is essentially a universal backdoor.
Core applications, such as the included Edge web-browser, Windows Media Player, Cortana, as well as any appx applications, have also been successfully eliminated. The total size of removed files is about 2 GB. Normal Windows activation is still required and must be entered during the install process since the activation program has been removed from the OS itself.
The system boots into a standard user account logged in as "user" without administrator privileges, but programs can be installed by entering the administrator password, "malte" Why is there no internet connection? The connection itself should work, however Windows' ability to detect it has been disabled since it will no longer contact Microsoft's servers to check. This can be re-enabled in the registry or spoofed. On Sepember 5th, some prominent YouTube videos drew attention to the project, flooding AME's Telegram chat server with new users and inciting Microsoft to demand that any links to modified ISO's be taken down.
Reviewer: UntrustworthyMicrosoft - favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 29, Subject: It's clear we cannot trust Microsoft, so this is a step in the right direction I'm a developer who's managed to avoid Microsoft for a few years. I bought Windows 10 in and I personally locked it down so that it wouldn't update itself. I've been using that version for the past five years, totally unchanged.
Despite that, on reviewing Windows 10 again, I'm shocked quite frankly at what I see of Microsoft's heavy-handed, authoritarian approach and the way it treats users. In the late s many of us remember the anti-trust legal case against Microsoft, in response to its manipulation of customers and the way it enforced the use of its own browser. When I look at Windows 10 now, with its Edge Browser that we cannot even uninstall the option is greyed-out , it's absolutely clear that Microsoft is sticking a finger up at consumers.
It seems Microsoft is totally ignoring the spirit of that late s case and the important basis behind it, and doing the same thing again.
Words almost fail me. Now onto this "Ameliorated build". This is a good effort and is workable, though not without flaws. It would be great if set-wallpaper takes in monitorID as additional parameter, so it only sets wallpaper for particular monitor. Is there a way to edit this script to allow different wallpapers for multiple monitors?
David, that is not something you can do natively within Windows 10 so you would need to find some type of third party software to handle something like this. I used Set-Wallpaper to make a script that gets and saves an image to the Pictures home directory. I modified Set-Wallpaper to take pipeline input, and also outputs the filename at the end so that I could make it as simple as: Get-Wallpaper Set-Wallpaper Remove-item.
FYI — If I run from the command line it works fine, but as a task using Windows 10, either manual or triggered, it will not change the wallpaper. Hi Frank, You must run this function as the current logged on user that you are changing the wallpaper for.
I have seen the same error. It occurred for me when pasting the Code into Visual Studio Code embedded in another Script that performs logging and some other funktions. What happens is, the code gets indented. That has to be always at the very start of the line. As soon as I removed the indent that was fixed. But neat work otherwise, thanks!
I Update your script with an Help parameter that show the informations and how use the script! Well done! Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Martin September 18, at am. Hi Martin, what do you mean by enabling streaming? Bill December 6, at pm. Finally a script that works reliably on Windows 10!
Hi Boston George, I updated the function for you to include wallpaper styles. Dan August 12, at pm. Jeff October 8, at pm. David Ferro November 4, at pm. Joseph McEvoy December 5, at pm.
