Tron Script

Although there are many software developers who come up with solutions for cleaning, maintaining and optimizing the system, Windows actually has its own range of built-in utilities dedicated to these purposes.

Researching and using each tool is time-consuming. If you're looking for a smarter way, like launching multiple Windows applications at the same time with minimal effort on your behalf, you can use Tron. In addition to Windows resources, it includes some free-to-use third-party apps, like McAfee Stinger, CCleaner and Kaspersky Removal Tool.

This is a batch script that represents a collection of system utilities made to scan, clean and disinfect Windows. These resources can be found in different categories (subfolders) after unzipping Tron.

The following steps are taken when launching the Tron batch file to deploy all apps in the command-line interface: preparation, temporary file cleaning, debloating, disinfection, repair, patching, optimization, and wrap-up.

For example, when prepping up the environment, Tron backs up the registry, takes screenshots, creates log files, and terminates any unresponsive processes. Debloating means getting rid of unnecessary Metro apps, eliminating Browser Helper Objects (BHOs), and uninstalling OneDrive.

Repairs are made to the Windows telemetry, MSIs and file extensions. The wrap-up stage simply sends email notifications with Tron's activity. You can also add scripts of your own by placing the files in the custom script folder. There are extra tools available which aren't included in the automation process but can be manually operated, such as AdwCleaner and ComboFix.

Before deploying Tron's batch file, it's recommended to read the instructions document to know what you're getting yourself into. Perhaps there are certain stages you're not comfortable with, which can be skipped if you correctly use the console flags (e.g. "tron.bat -m" gives instructions to keep OEM Metro apps instead of removing them by default).

The developer recommends allowing the completion of Windows Updates as well as launching Tron with administrative rights to avoid any disk reading errors (due to permissions).

Because there are many operations involved, Tron takes a really long time. It's not completely automatic, though, because you have to interfere in some cases for confirmation (e.g. for Malwarebytes scans). This means that you cannot leave your PC unattended for long periods of time. Once it's over, you have to reboot the PC, after which you can inspect results in the master log file (C:\Logs\tron\tron.log, by default).

Taking everything into account, Tron is ideal for system administrators and other expert PC users interested in performing automatic system tweaking.
