<p>This one might be a bit harder to explain. It lets you change some privacy settings in Win10, &#38; lets you remove some of the bloatware &#38; preinstalled features you don&#39;t want. It can also install apps from Windows new app repository. It&#39;s not an app like CCleaner, but a portable front end for PowerShell &#38; Windows Package Mgr. As such it can *potentially* do much more than similar but self-contained apps, But, I&#39;m unsure if every setting or script will work with the Home version of Win10, e.g. setting group policy to keep the original Edge alongside the new, Chromium-based version works with Win10 Pro, but Not Home. </p>
<p>OK, so what&#39;s PowerShell?... It&#39;s a command line scripting programming environment with many build-in functions -- I think the best comparison is to Visual Basic for Applications, that let you write macros for Word &#38; Excel. It requires .NET, &#38; like .NET comes in Windows &#38; Core versions -- core for non-Windows OSes like Linux, but it also will run alongside the Windows version in Windows. The Windows version has more functions or &#34;Cmdlets&#34;.</p>

<p>A Package Manager works based on an online repository of software. A package manager is invaluable to Linux, where I think it&#39;s the dominate way to add/remove/update software. With Windows, package managers are used more often by corp. IT to add or update software on many PCs &#38;/or laptops at once. Windows now has a new package manager &#38; repository all it own --- in the past one of the more popular package managers was Chocolatey.</p>
