Has anyone ran this on a VM or disected it for malware or other threats?

Not necessary.

Both links provided by the OP are from the official site, and the site Itself links the source code here: https://bitbucket.org/gnako/autofixer/src
Unless the website has falsified It's executable download, I'd say It's safe to assume the file Is clean.

Regardless of that, there are a lot of unanswered questions about this tool. Thank you for providing a link to the source code (I guess I could have looked myself). I'll dig through it and see what I can find out.

Short update, here's a bash script that does the exact same thing as this program, using the same methods that the program uses, but with the guarantee of "you get what you see". No worries about high load times, this is a one-off script, unlike the application, you can run and then delete the script without worries. To reverse it, just flip all the flags. Be aware, this script modifies the system registry

Code:

rem superfetch sc config SysMain start=disabled rem Windows Collection sc config DiagTrack start=disabled sc stop DiagTrack sc config dmwappushservice start=disabled sc stop dmwappushservice reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\DataCollection\\Users" /f /v "AllowTelemetry" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 rem Windows Search sc config WSearch start=disabled sc stop WSearch rem High Performance powercfg -setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c rem Memory Leak reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\ControlSet001\\Services\\Ndu" /f /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d 4 rem Update Share reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\DeliveryOptimization" /f /v "DODownloadMode" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 rem XBOX DVR reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\System\\GameConfigStore" /f /v "GameDVR_Enabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\GameDVR" /f /v "AllowGameDVR" /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Yes until It's contents are Identified and definitively deemed safe, I'm also not entirely satisfied with the tool's purpose and functionality.

You're very welcome with the source code. It was simply a few clicks of the mouse via the link by the OP.

Well, after browsing the code, I came up with that batch file that should do the exact same thing. None of those items need to be applied more than once, so if the program itself is causing any issues (like high load), I'd say that this isn't from the same source tree. However, if users still want the benefits, feel free to run that bat file or any part of it (it's commented by section)

Good work, much appreciate your time and effort.

Members can now make an Informed decision whether to utilize the tool and If so, a general Idea of what to expect.

Disabling update is somehow too risky.

It's not the actual Windows Update feature, but more so It's "share" functionality. There's two share options In Windows 10.

* PCs on my local network: This Is a form of peer-to-peer sharing within your local network, meaning the updates are downloaded on one PC and then shared with all other systems within your network.

* PCs on my local network, and PCs on the Internet: This performs the same as above, however the updates will also be shared (from "your" PC) to other PCs on the net., which also consumes your bandwidth. (ridiculous to say the least).

Here's an Image (from one of my lappies) of what the tool disables:

Spoiler:

As you can see, It can simply be disabled by the end user.

Is this disabled just the share method?!

Is this disabled just the share method?!

Correct.

Windows 10 doesn't have a native feature to disable Windows Updates. To do so, you need to disable (stop) the "Windows Update Service" via Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services. Or simply enter "services.msc" (no quotes) In the search function.

i have used your code
thank you

[davedazer]

Can somebody give me the reverse code of what the above software does? i want to reverse what it has done?

Regarding the criticism, as stated in the OP this is a commonly used tool in a swedish computer tech support group called "Swerigs" and "Swerigs techsupport". The developer, the administrators and normal users are sharing this program to members. These are not only facebook groups but a community.

And yes this can be done with a batch, but this is simpler and has the option to just untick whatever option you don't want. And more functions gets added each update.
