Combining powershell & cmd to create a batch file - powershell

Question

I am not a coder but I have some basic ability to mash some scripts together and usually get something that works for me, but this is way beyond my comprehension. I am trying to combine 3 things into a batch file. It's essentially an all in one solution to turn Windows 10 privacy settings off and to remove some background apps. I can run the commands just fine in powershell, but I wanted to automate the entire thing through one batch script:
Keep the windows 10 privacy settings script up to date. This is done through the following command in powershell:
(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hahndorf/Set-Privacy/master/Set-Privacy.ps1') | out-file .\Set-Privacy.ps1 -force
Just need to make sure that the destination folder for download is set first (I have no idea how to do this through a batchfile/script). The command comes from the script that someone wrote on github located here
Run the powershell script to turn privacy settings off, on the highest setting. This is done through the following command, again from the link above:
.\Set-Privacy.ps1 -Strong -admin
Remove background apps, for example, removing "3D Builder":
To uninstall 3D Builder:
get-appxpackage *3dbuilder* | remove-appxpackage
Details on this found here
Any help with any of this is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this, of course PowerShell is not a batch file tool per se, though you can use it to call a batch (.bat,.cmd.vbs, etc.) file.
Though a script is a script (batch or otherwise), taxonomy is a whole different conversation.
So, what you want is a function you can call as needed.
Function Set-Windows10PrivacySettings
{
[CmdletBinding()]
[Alias()]
Param
(
[string]$DownloadPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads"
)
# Download the Privacy Script
(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hahndorf/Set-Privacy/master/Set-Privacy.ps1') |
out-file "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\Set-Privacy.ps1"
# Temporarialy naviagte to the target directory adn run the script
Push-Location -Path $DownloadPath
Start-Process .\Set-Privacy.ps1 -Strong -admin
# Remove AppX packages
$AppPackageList = (Get-AppxPackage).Name |
Sort-Object |
Out-GridView -Title 'Select one or more AppX to remove. Press CRTL+LeftMouseClick to multi-select' -PassThru
# Remove the selected AppX without prompt to confirm
ForEach($AppPackage in $AppPackageList)
{
"Removing selected AppX $AppPackage"
# Remove-AppxPackage -Package $_ -Confirm:$false -WhatIf
}
# Retrun to the original directory
Pop-Location
}
# Call the function in PowerShell
Set-Windows10PrivacySettings
Just remove the comment marker '#' and the 'WhatIf' switch to actually allow things to happen.
