function enable-privilege {      param($privilege)    $definition = @'  using system;    using system.runtime.interopservices;    public class adjpriv {      [dllimport("advapi32.dll", exactspelling = true, setlasterror = true)]    internal static extern bool adjusttokenprivileges(intptr htok, bool disall,      ref tokpriv1luid newst, int len, intptr prev, intptr rele);    [dllimport("advapi32.dll", exactspelling = true, setlasterror = true)]    internal static extern bool openprocesstoken(intptr h, int acc, ref intptr phtok);    [dllimport("advapi32.dll", setlasterror = true)]    internal static extern bool lookupprivilegevalue(string host, string name,      ref long pluid);    [structlayout(layoutkind.sequential, pack = 1)]    internal struct tokpriv1luid {      public int count;      public long luid;      public int attr;    }    internal const int se_privilege_enabled = 0x00000002;    internal const int token_query = 0x00000008;    internal const int token_adjust_privileges = 0x00000020;    public static bool enableprivilege(long processhandle, string privilege) {      bool retval;      tokpriv1luid tp;      intptr hproc = new intptr(processhandle);      intptr htok = intptr.zero;      retval = openprocesstoken(hproc, token_adjust_privileges | token_query,        ref htok);      tp.count = 1;      tp.luid = 0;      tp.attr = se_privilege_enabled;      retval = lookupprivilegevalue(null, privilege, ref tp.luid);      retval = adjusttokenprivileges(htok, false, ref tp, 0, intptr.zero,        intptr.zero);      return retval;    }  }  '@      $processhandle = (get-process -id $pid).handle    $type = add-type $definition -passthru    $type[0]::enableprivilege($processhandle, $privilege)  }    function take-over($path) {      $owner = [security.principal.ntaccount]'administrators'      $key = [microsoft.win32.registry]::localmachine.opensubkey($path, 'readwritesubtree', 'takeownership')    $acl = $key.getaccesscontrol()    $acl.setowner($owner)    $key.setaccesscontrol($acl)      $acl = $key.getaccesscontrol()    $rule = new-object system.security.accesscontrol.registryaccessrule "administrators", "fullcontrol", "containerinherit", "none", "allow"    $acl.setaccessrule($rule)    $key.setaccesscontrol($acl)  }    {} until (enable-privilege setakeownershipprivilege)    function remove-package($name) {      $key = "software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\component based servicing\packages\$name"    take-over $key    remove-item -path hklm:"$key\owners" -force -recurse    & c:\windows\system32\pkgmgr.exe /up:$name /norestart /quiet  }    # remove contact support.  remove-package "microsoft-windows-contactsupport-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-us~10.0.10240.16384"    remove-package "microsoft-windows-contactsupport-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.10240.16384"    # remove windows feedback.  remove-package "microsoft-windowsfeedback-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-us~10.0.10240.16384"    remove-package "microsoft-windowsfeedback-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.10240.16384"

if want run script batch file (the batch file must same name script work).

powershell.exe -noprofile -command "& {start-process powershell.exe -argumentlist '-noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file ""%~dpn0.ps1""' -verb runas}"
