This PowerShell script does the following:
- It checks if the script is running with administrator privileges. If not, it restarts itself with elevated privileges.
- It disables the safe services in Windows 11.
- The script attempts to stop each service and set its startup type to "Disabled".
- It cleans temp files from the Windows Temp folder and the user's Temp folder.
- It disables fast boot by modifying the registry.
- It sets the power plan to balanced using the powercfg command.
Code:
# Elevate privileges if not already running as administrator
if (-NOT ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator"))
{
$arguments = "& '" + $myinvocation.mycommand.definition + "'"
Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs -ArgumentList $arguments
Exit
}

- Save it as a .ps1 file (e.g., optimize_windows11.ps1).
- Right-click on the file and select "Run with PowerShell".
- If prompted, allow the script to run with administrator privileges.
Please note that disabling services and changing system settings can have unintended consequences. It's recommended to create a system restore point before running this script, so you can revert changes if needed. Also, some services might be required for certain features or hardware on your specific system, so make sure you understand the implications of disabling each service before running the script.
