All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
Today is a big day for Win10Clean, which is just a normal day for y'all. It's being released as v1.0.0. Some new minor changes are here but it's still what I wanted it to be, and nothing more really. It wasn't ever meant to be known by anyone except me. Released it back in 2016 just so I could easily find it on the interwebs. I'm suprised how it was shared like it was on ghacks and majorgeeks. It wasn't ever designed to be customizable, and wont be either. Microsoft haven't changed so much the last couple of years and I'm satisfied on how my installation is so I probably wont release more updates unless things change.
- Automatic bing search disabled
- Tool tips to buttons
- New native app deletion code! It is much faster than the old code. "Fully Delete" and "Delete for all users" features have been both removed
- Improved the Win 10 app uninstaller, by only showing apps that can be uninstalled and not showing duplicates
- Improved error message disabling Defender due to the later anti-tamper code MS implemented
- Sort apps list alfabetically
- Bump to use .NET 4.8. For anyone who doesn't like it because of compability then well it's not designed for 'old' Windows installations
- Issues with disabling OneDrive on latest Windows builds
Umm I guess the project has been dead for a long while? I've been busy with other projects..
- The windows 10 app uninstaller dialog has been fixed and now properly list the amount of apps uninstalled. This was caused due to it previously being an async task, it's now an sync task so the dialog wont appear til the uninstallation process is complete.
- The context menu for buying music has been removed in the latest Windows installs, so they no longer have to be deleted
- Removed disabling HomeGroup as it is no longer available in Windows 10
- Removed the compatability check
- Disabled changing start menu objects since it uses a unique GUID
- Missing license in class files
- Defender context menu not disappearing once disabled
Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas to you all! Much work have been put to Win10Clean since it was re-written in c-sharp. This has also caused a lot of weird bugs that (IMO) I've now ironed out. Expect a GUI overhaul, reverse function and much more in 2018, again enjoy your holidays!

Well I'm still not dead, guess that I gotta admit that I've slowed down development a lot. The future is still bright and I will keep improving Win10Clean until the end of time :D Just that I don't have much else that I wanna implement, and am listening to feedback.
