Which setting of options do you prefer? (Menu or Tab)

Also Please leave any Comments/Suggestions on what you would like to see or change

Thanks

PS the options in the menu can only be clicked 1 at a time (window closes after a click, this cannot be changed)

Any comments on the GUI would be greatly appreciated.. Or if I should even add the GUI to the actual script

ATM the GUI is just for show (Till I decide to add the GUI or not)

There are working buttons and they do what they say other than the "Run Script" button (IT WILL NOT RUN THE SCRIPT)

Hi,

There is a small bug in line 659, it is missing an end parentheses at the end.

Thank you!

Need to change the spelling of Differant to Different

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes and I am frustrated when i want to experiment with the tweaked services but it detects my pc as laptop and blocks me from selecting the tweaked option.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want an option to bypass this check.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered deleting the script and attempting to edit the code myself to add this feature in.

Additional context
Not Applicable

Question
nope.

Describe the bug
when the checkbox for dev log is ticked, it automatically sets a variety of other checkbox options enabled. when dev log is unticked again, those checkboxes remain ticked and become grayed out / disabled and thus cannot be edited again.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. tick checkbox dev log in tab scipt options
2. untick checkbox
3. check behaviour of other checkboxes

Expected behavior
checkboxes that become ticked along with ticking dev log checkbox should become unticked and available again, after dev log checkbox has been unticked again.

I saw this one in the CSV file, was it "Generated" or as is?
GernetatedByMadBomb122

Then while looking for info on changing an entry in the CSV I found this in the topic I was looking for:
(# is fime)

probable a # sign is 'fine' and works as a comment... :-)

cheers, thanks for your work and efforts...
Bubbi

I had to change the line 149 so the script can find the files. It was :
$Script:filebase = $PSScriptRoot + ''

I did change it for :
$Script:filebase = $PSScriptRoot + '.'

Thanks for the excellent update, the new grid is very helpful and easy to set the options we want.

Well Done!

I'm an old school VFP developer and we have an option we can set:
_TOOLTIPTIMEOUT = 0 && Until Mouse is Moved

This option allows the tool tip text to stay out until the mouse is moved off the control. That would be a very helpful option when reading some of the longer grid item / option explanations.

Cheers to a excellent program.

thanks very much.

I would like people's opinion on if I should add the ability on the 'Service Table' tab to select if you want a service to be running or stopped.

If above is wanted, I may also add in the backup/save file the state in there to be loaded.. If it isnt annoying to implement.

Edit:
For anyone that wants to test out this new feature/Option Save This

Describe the bug
dont know where its coming from, but this happend also yesterday with the other bug when checking for updates.

when i clicked on run script today (check for updates enabled on run), there was something in the console, guess it was the status message for checking and downloading updates.

after that the console was cleared and the app launched a second time / restarted without closing the old instance first.

the old instance window is locked and cant be moved or closed, too.

when the script is ran from the new instance, there is no output in the console window, only inside the app under tab service changes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. click on run script and have check for updates on run enabled
2. observe console window / app behaviour for restarting / not closing the old instance first.

Expected behavior
old instance should be closed on / after update.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
would it be possible that the tool gets a function to not only kill, load and save (windows) services to and from a customizable list, but to also do that with a list of all running processes i can see in the task manager.

thing is, every time my pc boots up, i want to kill or launch a few other windows services as well as other processes by 3. party tools, like steam, battle.net, origin, driverbooster, useless wlan utilities from the driver, etc. etc. which i have to do manually via task manager.

Describe the solution you'd like
after i killed all unwanted windows and other processes manually by task manager and / or blackviperscript, i want to save and eventually reload that state manually or automatically on or after the next reboot via a "process profile".

Describe alternatives you've considered
some type of process manager. not sure if any exists that can do this.

Hi, I'm having some issues. If I run the current 'stable' version it runs ok but produces no results. IE: it says the changes have been made, say to the xbox entries from manual -> disabled. But they don't change. If I run the test version I get the error below. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. bub.

Changing Service Please wait...

Xbox Live Networking Service (XboxNetApiSvc) - Manual -> Disabled

Service Changed...

Describe the bug
not sure if this is intended, but there are a few things i have noticed, that were not there in the versions before.

1. when clicked on run script, the script does a dryrun / list first even when there is no dry run option activated. only when run script is clicked another time after the first run, the script purges the services.

2. after having purged services, the console window shows unclear categories "msg1":

>  Changing Service Please wait...
> msg1Tweaked
>  Service_Name - Current -> Change_To
> ----------------------------------------

and

> ----------------------------------------
>  Service Changed...
> msg13
> msg1161
> msg13
> msg10
> msg100:00:01.7787463

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run script
2. check console window / script behaviour

Expected behavior
the script should not dry run when its not activated. run script should cause immediate purge of services. msg1 should display correct values.

Question
Did you look at ReadMe, FAQ or Issues to see if issue is already Known or Fixed?

i dont always.

Describe the bug
when the script applies services configurations "tweaked" or "safe" with the option "all - change all services", the wifi adapter becomes kind of disabled after a reboot and cant be used anymore. it appears, that a certain, unknown service is causing this (no ip table allocation, driver / service not being loaded / blocked). the wifi becomes useable again, when the service configuration is reverted back with the "default" setting. it should be noted, that this may not happen necessarily on all hardware configurations or in all cases.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to github.com/madbomb122/BlackViperScript
2. Click download
3. extract zip
4. execute _win10-blackviper.bat with admin rights
5. select "all - change all services" and either "safe" or "tweaked" service configurations from tab "service options".
6. reboot, check for wifi adapter functionality and connectivity

Expected behavior
wifi / ethernet should not be affected by this.

Noticed when starting it states quite clearly, intended for x64 only. Is there any plan to implement x32 support? Or should using x64 settings be ok to use?

Seems there are different tools trying to solve & improve Win10 installations. Can you take a look into https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater and think about committing your work inside there too?

I'm not sure I got this one right cause it seems obvious, but I'm running the newest version I just downloaded 5.3.7 and 4.2.

Select my custom settings which were from 5/21/2018

The services appear as expected

Next click "Customize Service"
Try to select an item in the grid
... Get endless Windows spinning wheel

Often the grid disappears
or the grid goes white, unresponsive, then maybe disappears...

Can't change any of the options (deselect or change the Setting

One must "Hard close" the program.

Also, when the grid goes off, Task Manager show Windows Power Shell using 10% of the CPU. Must be an endless loop somewhere in the code.

Perhaps it's me, if so, let me know where I've gone wrong.

PS: Thanks for the sticky tool tip texts they work well...

Running Windows 1803, script 5.0.1, Service 4.0

I have all needed updates, (10pro/1703/15063.138/64bit) and all files from github, setting execution policy or running batch file from admin - no effects. PS show me just red Error. Can you help me?

Does the index page note mean it isn't compatible?

Currently the script quits on -auto -safe if Win10 1903 is the OS.
States that Max Recommended version is 1803, but that can't be right.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

this tool (https://www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe) provides an easy way to change and manage windows' tcp settings related to ethernet adapters / wifi, etc. regrettably some of these settings are not being applied, because:

"Supposedly the netsh congestionprovider setting is deprecated and bugged under Windows 8/10, and one should use the Powershell cmdlets. Use at your own risk. Changing CTCP directly with netsh is not possible by default under Windows 8, the commands are still listed below for reference:"

https://www.speedguide.net/articles/windows-8-10-2012-server-tcpip-tweaks-5077

when ran from powershell it appears that the specific tcp settings are being write-protected by windows and thus cant be applied by the tool:

> PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-NetTCPSetting -SettingName InternetCustom -CongestionProvider DCTCP
> Set-NetTCPSetting : Property CongestionProvider is read-only
> In Zeile:1 Zeichen:1
> + Set-NetTCPSetting -SettingName InternetCustom -CongestionProvider DCT ...

>    g) [Set-NetTCPSetting], CimException
>     + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Windows System Error 87,Set-NetTCPSetting

Describe the solution you'd like
script / tool that can apply all the necessary tcp tweaks, that tcp optimizer from speed guide has got, too, effectively, among others: congestion control provider, windows scaling heuristics, tcp window auto tuning, tcp chimney offload specifically.

Describe alternatives you've considered
registry, elevated command line and powershell cant do the job.

Question
Did you look at ReadMe,FAQ or issues to see if issue is already posted or fixed?
Yes

Describe the bug
I was trying to restore from a backup file using the Custom Setting option and browsed to my backup file. Then upon hitting the 'Run Script with Custom Service List' button, a dialog box with the following query is shown: The File 'BlackViper.csv' needs to be Updated. Do you want to download the file 'BlackViper.csv'?

This occurs even though prior to running the script, the 'BlackViper.csv' is present in the directory and clicking on the button to check for an update to the Services indicates that you have the latest version.

If you hit the 'Yes' button on the dialog box, the dialog box instantly closes and the same dialog box is presented again. This continues in an infinite loop till you hit the 'No' button.

At this point, if you check the backup file you were trying to restore from, you would notice that it has been overwritten with the contents of the 'BlackViper.csv' file.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run _Win10-BlackViper.bat
2. Under Service Options tab, select Custom Setting in the Service Configurations drop-down list then browse to a backup file to restore
3. Click the 'Run Script with Custom Service List' button
4. The dialog box asking to update the 'BlackViper.csv' file should now appear
5. Clicking 'Yes' on the dialog box will result in an infinite loop with the same query

Expected behavior
The script is executed and restores my Service Configuration according to the backup file
