Windows 10 setup script

For a long time I wanted to share my script on automating the configuration of Windows 10 (currently the current version is 18362), but all hands did not reach. Perhaps it will be useful to someone in whole or in part only.

Of course, it will be problematic to describe all the settings, but I will try to highlight the most important.

If anyone is interested, then welcome to cat.
