Atom Playbook v0.0.5

This is a major update. The entire playbook has been updated, every single line is reviewed and edited!

Caution

AtomToolbox Beta Notice: AtomToolbox is still in a beta release. We are currently working on fixing all bugs and issues you might face while using it.---

Performance & Latency Optimizations

  • RAM Recovery: Disabled VBS and HVCI system-wide, reducing RAM usage by 1 to 3GB.
  • Memory Management: Raised SvcHostSplitThreshold to 4GB to prevent service host memory fragmentation. Disabled Fault Tolerant Heap (saves 50-100MB).
  • Process Mitigations: System-wide disabling of Spectre, Meltdown, CFG, SEHOP, ASLR variants, and CET/KernelShadowStacks via PowerShell and registry.
  • DPC Latency & Network: Disabled Interrupt Moderation on network adapters to eliminate micro-stutters. Tuned AFD network buffers for low latency.
  • Hardware & Power: Forced C-states to OFF, disabled PCI Express ASPM, and turned off USB selective suspend. Forced global timer resolution enforcement.
  • Storage: Enabled write caching for all drives and disabled Reserved Storage.

Component Removal & Debloating

  • AppX Packages: Added 165 AppX removal operations targeting 60+ pre-installed packages (Photos, Terminal, Camera, Office Suite, etc.). The Windows Store is kept intact.
  • OneDrive Removal: Complete wipe via default user NTUSER.DAT hive cleanups, WinSxS OneDriveSetup.exe deletion, and Explorer sidebar erasure. Added Deprovisioned registry keys to block Windows Update from reinstalling it.
  • Edge Purge: Uninstalled Edge via native Setup.exe arguments, cleaned leftover files, registry entries, and scheduled tasks.
  • System Tweaks: Disabled and deleted Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and disabled the paging file.

UI/UX & System Behavior

  • Wallpaper System: Rewritten to use a registry-only method via NSudoLC TrustedInstaller. Applies custom wallpaper across all user hives, disables Windows Spotlight, and clears the LockScreen cache to prevent Windows from reverting it.
  • Taskbar & Start Menu: Hidden the Recycle Bin from desktop, disabled Connected Standby, removed all default pinned tiles and cloud cloud-store caches.
  • Classic Layout: Forced Dark Mode, restored the classic context menu, and enabled full paths in the Explorer address bar.

Critical Fixes & Internal Changes

  • PostInstall Copy Fix: Fixed a bug where PostInstall copy returned "0 File(s) copied". Changed the engine to a PowerShell script using $PSScriptRoot and Copy-Item -Recurse.
  • Cleanup Race Condition: Moved 14-postinstall.yml execution to run before 10-final.yml in main.yml so the temp directory flush doesn't delete the extracted files before they copy.
  • Environment Variables Expansion: Changed Edge and Start Menu folder cleanups to run under currentUserElevated context instead of TrustedInstaller, ensuring %APPDATA% and %ProgramFiles(x86)% resolve to the actual user directories.
