There's what I like to call a "Windows 10 De-F**ker" script, called TronScript. It goes through and locks out all of Microsoft's bloatware.
https://www.danodemano.com/Tron/ The website looks a little phishy, but I use the script on every win10 machine I can get my hands on. There's a "Subreddit" dedicated to it, at https://reddit.com/r/tronscript - if you're a redditor. Feel free to email me off-list (or on-list) if you have any questions. Time may not be my daily specialty, but this is.
