WinScript does not detect current Win settings and starts from scratch #128
-
|
Assume I start WinScript the first time (on Win 10). It starts from scratch Thats bad. Similar other tools like ShutUp10 or W10privacy can analyze the current state and show them in their settings panel. I suggest to add a recognition procedure into WinScript to make it really compatible with a running system |

What do you mean by the current settings? The current settings for what? |

The current settings for every tweak, like if Dark Mode is already enabled on the system show the checkbox already checked. |

This would make this act more like a control panel than a debloating script. Perhaps in the future, an app that you install that you can centralize these types of settings. Sort of like how Power Toys used to be way back when. But I cannot fathom how it would work with a script that is run to just force very specific changes whether they are already set or not. I mean, like in your example (which besides being obvious); why would it matter. Whether dark mode is on or not, Why does it matter. Would you not just set it to what you want either way? I.E. if dark mode is already enabled; how does it change my option in the script of selecting dark mode or not. It is not like it will create a darker mode. In my use, I don't think it would be very helpful; unless like mentioned the script was actually a hidden options control panel of some sort. But that is why I love this script. Because it is exactly not that. There are lots of toys out there that do that. Cheers, |

I completely agree with you, WinScript does not need that. |

Hi @pstein, thanks for the feedback. It might be possible for small tweaks like Dark Mode, Game Mode, Sticky Keys etc but how would you do it for complex tweaks made of multiple reg entries, scheduled tasks and services like Disable Telemetry? If we can't implement this recognition for every setting, it becomes a UX nightmare since you'd have to turn "On" some tweaks to disable them and turn "On" others to enable them. I'm curious how you would approach it keeping the same UX consistency. |
