Tron v12.0.7 (2024-05-28) // Remove Sophos; fix architecture detection bug in Stage 1; fix Debug Log Upload in Stage 7; minor definition updates

PinnedRELEASE

##Background

Tron is a script that "fights for the User."

The goal is to automate ~87% of the tedious work in getting a badly-running Windows system back on its feet (clicking "next" in AV scan windows, etc); with much left to the discretion of the tech.

Tron is built with heavy reliance on community input and updated regularly.

Tron is NOT a system optimization or "baseline" script.

Tron is intended for use by PC Technicians who are already familiar with basic troubleshooting and command-line operation. It is not intended for use by people with no basic troubleshooting knowledge.

Read the instructions.

##Sequence of operation

Prep > Tempclean > De-bloat > Disinfect > Repair > Patch > Optimize > Wrap-up | Manual tools

Saves a log to C:\logs\tron\tron.log (configurable).

Source code is available on Github (Note: this doesn't include many of the utilities Tron relies on to function). If you want to view the code without downloading a ~600MB package, Github is a good place to do it.

##Command-Line Support

Tron has full command-line support. Switches are optional, can be used simultaneously, and override their respective default when used. See here for a list of command-line switches.

##Pack Integrity

SHA-256 hashes are in \tron\integrity_verification\checksums.txt and are signed with my PGP key (0x07d1490f82a211a2, pubkey included). Use this to verify pack integrity.
