    A new certificate (Let's Encrypt) has been issued for the domain (February 5, 2020). Access and download seems to work now.

    Hi,

    unfortunately the server migration cost me some nerves and I hate certificates :mad:

    No, scripts that has been executed once stay the same (you can delete Debotnet but the system changes remain in the system) however you would need to re-run it ONLY after major Windows 10 updates.

    See @FAQ
    https://github.com/mirinsoft/debotnet/wiki/FAQ#Will_Windows_overwrite_my_changes_made_with_Debotnet

    I've explained this also in the latest blog entry
    https://www.mirinsoft.com/blog/18-debotnet/16-improvements-in-debotnet-release-0-6

    I can also recommend this video tutorial about Debotnet (found it today on youtube)

    Running Win10 V1809
    D/L V0.6.3 zip file but was unsuccessful in running it. Black screen image d<botnet.
    Have I not extracted, installed or run the Debotnet.exe properly?

    Possibly a corrupt file & wondering if anyone else is having issues with V0.6.3

    Cheers,
    Marsman

    Hey guys,

    this is related to the latest work on the theme function. I've also added a notice in the release notes
    Code:
    Optimized theme function (If you are overwriting old files with this update, a reset of bin > debotnet-settings.txt file is necessary. Therefore please delete this file or open it and set in section [RunOnce] the key RunOnce=1 to RunOnce=0
    So, please delete the debotnet-setting.txt file in bin folder and everything will work again.

    Thanks,
    Belim

    Tried earlier version, but forgot which one. It did not have an option to reset all settings/registry back to default. Has this been included with the newest versions?

    Thanks,
    Robert

    Yes, it is already available since release 0.2.8
    Please note that some changes can not be reverted (e.g. restoring deleted services but these scripts are not highlighted as RECOMMENDED), re-installling the built-in UWP apps (bloatware). Some scripts like the removal of Windows Defender can not be reverted too.

    Thank. Don't care about most UWP apps (my install only came with Solitaire game anyway, which I like) and will not remove WD. Will only use the recommended. Have done most of "telemetry" myself, but tried of doing it every time after major updates.
