// Add additional Win10 telemetry disabling; fix removal of pinned items from Quick Access pane; update many utilities and definitions
Tron is a script that "fights for the User."
It aims to automate ~87% of the tedious work in getting a badly-running Windows system back on its feet (clicking "next" in A/V 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.

3. Tertiary: Connect to the Syncthing repo (instructions) to get fixes/updates immediately. This method has some risks and you should only use it if you understand them.
4. Quaternary: Source code
Source code is available [on Github](https://github.com/bmrf/tron/) (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.
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.
