This repository contains the ReviOS Playbook, a collection of configuration files and executable scripts designed for the AME Wizard tool to customize Windows 10 and 11 installations. Its primary function is to debloat the operating system by removing pre-installed bloatware (Microsoft Edge, OneDrive, Teams, UWP apps like Xbox, Photos, etc.), disabling telemetry, privacy-invasive features, and unnecessary services, and applying a set of registry tweaks for performance and privacy. The playbook also offers optional software installation (Brave or Firefox), wallpaper and theme configuration, and integration with the Revision Tool for further customization. The architecture is a declarative task pipeline defined in YAML files, orchestrated by AME Wizard, with supporting PowerShell and CMD scripts for specific actions like app removal, registry modifications, and service changes. It is not a standalone application but a payload for AME Wizard.
The GamesDows repository provides a set of Windows batch scripts designed to transform a standard Windows PC into a gaming-focused system by replacing the default shell with Steam Big Picture or Playnite. The core functionality involves setting the chosen gaming interface as the default shell, creating a delayed startup script to launch Windows Explorer in the background after a short timeout (allowing exit to desktop via the gaming interface menu), and configuring scheduled tasks to restore this setup at each logon. Additionally, the scripts apply various system optimizations to reduce boot times and disable unnecessary UI elements. The implementation relies on Windows-native commands (reg, schtasks, bcdedit) and employs a self-elevating pattern to ensure the scripts run with administrator privileges. The Enable GamesDows scripts for Steam and Playnite share a common structure, differing only in the target application paths and associated file names. A complementary Disable Gamesdows script reverts all changes, restoring the default Windows Explorer shell and removing custom files and tasks. While the scripts achieve their intended goal, they contain opportunities for refactoring to reduce duplication between the Steam and Playnite variants.
