• Added awesome UpdateLGPEPolicies function 👻
  • It's common known, that the gpedit.msc snap-in doesn't read settings from the Windows registry keys if they were made manually, bypassing the snap-in. This new function lets you update gpedit.msc to make all your policies created manually displayed regardless when registry keys were created. There is no need to run the whole Sophia Script — just call UpdateLGPEPolicies function. By default this function will be invoked at very end of script running to make all policies registry keys used in the script displayed.
  • To check all policies applied to your OS (if they have a record in gpedit.msc) after invoking UpdateLGPEPolicies, open gpedit.msc and navigate to:
    • Computer Configuration — Administrative Templates — All Settings;
    • User Configuration — Administrative Templates — All Settings.
  • Uses PolicyFileEditor module created by Dave Wyatt
  • Remind how to call a function from the module.

• Added SearchHighlights function to hide search highlights for Windows 10;
