About

WinRice is a PowerShell script designed to automate setting up a new Windows device. It automates a few of the useful things that people generally do in a fresh Windows installation or a new Windows device.

Feature Highlight

Batch installs apps and features automatically
Configures Windows UI
Configures Windows Update policies
Enhances privacy
Disables non-essential tasks
Disables silent installation of apps from Microsoft Store
Disables suggestions and tips
Exposes hidden power options
Hardens security
Removes non-essential apps
Removes non-essential features

Pre-requisites

You've read the documentation. If you're running WinRice for the first time, take a look at Main-brief.md. The directory that contains all documents is available here.
Your device must:
- Be connected to the Internet.
- Be powered by an in-service Windows version.
- Not have any pending restarts.
- Be up to date. *

* If you've just installed Windows, please ensure that all updates from Microsoft Store and Windows Update are installed. This is because WinRice uses some components that are only available in the latest updates. This is to ensure that WinRice works seamlessly on your device.

winrice's Issues

Add all power options to advanced power settings menu

WinRice principles

I have read the WinRice principles and I believe that this feature request abides by the WinRice principles to my truest sense.

Explain the feature.

I want WinRice to add all Power options to the Advanced power options menu.
By default on OEM devices, most options are hidden / not controllable by the user.
I have developed https://github.com/pratyakshm/RestorePowerOptions that exposes all the power settings.

I want WinRice to expose all Power options without running extra software.

Don't remove "Steps Recorder" optional feature on PCs registered in WIP

WinRice principles

I have read the WinRice principles and I believe that this feature request abides by the WinRice principles to my truest sense.

Explain the feature.

Do not remove the optional feature "Steps recorder" on PCs registered in WIP (insider), since it is a necessary feature when filing feedback via the Feedback Hub.

WinRice should check for installed software before installing

WinRice principles

I have read the WinRice principles and I believe that this feature request abides by the WinRice principles to my truest sense.

Explain the feature.

While in express mode, winrice installs nanazip but it does that everytime you run winrice instead of just checking if it was already installed on the system. So winrice would become much faster if it just checked and ignored for nanazip instead of installing everytime.

Also imo unpinning edge from taskbar is kinda weird...

Oh just noticed typo at the end there xd

PowerShell_transcript.LENOVO-G570.Nkg_PcmG.20220302212428.txt

Anything else I should know?

Although onedrive gets uninstalled, there exist remains of the app...

Control Panel -> Uninstall apps generously offers to remove it from apps listing.

Clicking "yes" removes the entry but doesn't remove taskbar icon

This is my first time reporting an issue here, sorry if it is too many pictures.

WinGet doesn't uninstall it completely, either...

Edit:- oh and I'm on W11 insider dev 22567

Machine-wide policies wording is confusing

Select category

Other

Windows version

Windows 11 22H2, Windows 11 21H2, Windows 10 21H2, Windows 10 21H1, Windows 10 20H2

Expected behavior

It is made clear to users that there are some settings that can only be applied if so is done machine-wide instead of only to the current user.

Actual behavior

There are some settings that leverage GPO, hence they apply machinewide (all users across one device instead of only current user). WinRice asks if you want to apply these policies that configure the setting machine-wide as well, but the current wording is not at all friendly or clear. In fact, some users have complained to me that they thought that the machine-wide policies question meant if WinRice would apply all settings machine-wide instead of just the current user, which clearly is not the case. This is only limited to some functions, not all functions.

Expected behavior

If NI is not going to be disabled, dont show it when performing changes

Actual behavior

In the initial selection screen, the script confirms that it will not disable NI.

While it is processing changes (uninstalling apps, features, etc.), there was the text "Disabling NI", "Disabled NI" (or something similar)

In the end, it did not disable NI

Add option to uninstall OneNote / OneNote for windows 10

WinRice principles

I have read the WinRice principles and I believe that this feature request abides by the WinRice principles to my truest sense.

Explain the feature.

Add option to uninstall OneNote / OneNote for windows 10 as many of the users don't use it and why should we even keep this bloatware on the machine.

[Request] A better UWP 'crapware' removal

Instead of hard-coding the package names of the UWP crapware to remove, let's provide users the ability to choose what to remove, as seen in the screenshot above (it's from the Sophia script, by @farag2).

Another upside of this method would be that we won't need to maintain a list of packages to remove, as it's always dynamically populated, which for me (and hopefully others) is a CleanWin-win (get it? 🤣 )

Feature Request: Only mark the "default" apps while editing the uninstallation list

Does your feature request involve usage of third party software?

Have you written the code which adds this feature?

Explain the feature

While using a different uninstallation preset, the "new" uninstallation editable-list shows up.
Instead of checking every app available in the system:

just mark only the apps already written in the app uninstallation list. In this way, the user can only mark/not mark the other/s unwanted apps/wanted apps.

Does this Feature Request follow the WinRice principles?

Feature Request: Add option to disable Win defender

Does your feature request involve usage of third party software?

Cannot update to Windows11 after WinRice

Could update to windows11

Actual behavior

Can't update to windows11

WinRice output

PowerShell_transcript.DESKTOP-PLJQR9D.dlcNarUL.20221003223002.txt

Anything else I should know?

Translated is "Your organization manages the updates on this PC"

this could be because of policies that have been set on the computer by the software. any way to revert them?

Perhaps related or not with CleanWin: Winget doesn't work

I run a fresh windows 10 Pro install this morning using the latest MediaCreationTool, other than that i didn't do nothing but update to the latest versions with WindowsUpdate. then i run CLI.exe and let CleanWin do all the work,
one reboot later and trying winget, it does not work, as shown at: microsoft/winget-cli#1103

WinRice seems to be messing up the time

Select category

I didnt expect it to randomly change the time in the express setup

Actual behavior

The time changed after I my pc restarted after the express setup was completed, this didnt happen the 2nd time when I manually selected the options.

[Apps] Ask user if they want to create a Winstall list during customization

WinRice principles

I have read the WinRice principles and I believe that this feature request abides by the WinRice principles to my truest sense.

Explain the feature.

When the user chooses Custom settings, and they choose to install apps using Winstall, offer to open notepad.exe for them to create a Winstall.txt file.

MUST:

Be named Winstall.txt
Be saved in the same directory as WinRice
Have one app name per line

Actual behavior

WinRice output

N.A.

Anything else I should know?

Tested in Windows 11 release build only, but the issue may persist in more Windows 10 builds.

Insider detection needs to be improved

WinRice principles

I have read the WinRice principles and I believe that this feature request abides by the WinRice principles to my truest sense.

Explain the feature.

Suggestion

WinRice currently decides if the current OS build is an Insider build by checking hardcoded rs_prerelease and ni_release branch names. While these branch names apply to the latest and recent Windows Insider builds in the Dev channel, they do not serve all Windows Insiders from different channels (Beta and Release Preview).

This leads to a scenario where WinRice think that the device is running a retail build of Windows when the device is actually on Beta / RP, and apply settings and policies that I deem are not favorable to Windows Insiders - these settings include hardening Telemetry, disabling feedback notifications and deferring Windows Updates.

Does your feature request involve usage of third party software?

Make "setting BIOS time to UTC" optional

WinRice principles

I have read the WinRice principles and I believe that this feature request abides by the WinRice principles to my truest sense.

Explain the feature.

Currently, running WinRIce sets the BIOS to follow UTC. Many motherboards have the feature to sync the BIOS time with Windows. So, after running WinRice and rebooting, there happens to be some mix-up with the time being set, which, in the end, makes Windows display the incorrect and requires having to sync the time for settings manually.

I would like to request to make this feature configurable.
