Tron v12.0.4 (2022-10-23) remove malware from your PC

 // Add additional Win10 telemetry disabling; fix removal of pinned items from Quick Access pane; update many utilities and definitions

Background

Tron is a script that "fights for the User."

It aims to automate ~87% of the tedious work in getting a badly-running Windows system back on its feet (clicking "next" in A/V scan windows, etc); with much left to the discretion of the tech.

Tron is built with heavy reliance on community input and updated regularly.

Tron is NOT a system optimization or "baseline" script.

Tron is intended for use by PC Technicians who are already familiar with basic troubleshooting and command-line operation. It is not intended for use by people with no basic troubleshooting knowledge.

Read the instructions.
