Automatic update

[Wallby]

I think I assumed wrongly that this script automatically attempts to update itself from GitHub. I thought it would because of:

Given that Microsoft are continually updating and adding new AI features this script will attempt to stay updated for the newest stable build.
https://github.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/issues

I assume this only means that the GitHub version might be updated? But it doesn't automatically download a newer version.

Is this a feature to be added to the script installed to C:\ProgramData\RemoveAI-UpdateCleanup.ps1? That it first tries to update itself. This is possible in powershell by starting a detached process (from a temporary file), which could do the update, and then run the new version of the script.

updates made to the script are simply updates to the github repo theres no automatic updates on your end... this is just a script not an installed app

if there is some feature or update added to the script that you would like to apply youll need to run it again

the update cleanup script is found here: https://github.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/blob/main/RemoveAI-UpdateCleanup.ps1

I understood that there are no updates. I meant whether it was planned to be a feature to have some update mechanism in the RemoveAI-UpdateCleanup.ps1 script.
But that is not the case then.

When re-running the GUI script, if you check backup mode when there already is an older backup present, will it incorrectly overwrite the registry values (in the .reg files) of that old backup? Or will it correctly amend the old backup?

[zoicware]

if you already ran backup mode once before theres no reason to run it again you will have important things backed up and a restore point created before the changes... but yes I should prob prevent any files from getting clobbered if the user re-runs with backup mode (but really ur best bet is the restore point thats created)

i could 100% have the update cleanup script auto update based on changes from github however i opted to not do that to minimize unnecessary network calls on every startup
