Research direction
The issue reports permission errors in disable windows defender.ps1, fix privacy settings.ps1, and remove onedrive.ps1 on Windows 10 Creators Update. The errors indicate that the scripts lack administrator privileges. Investigate whether the scripts include a check for elevation at the beginning. The fix may involve adding a check or recommending running the script as administrator. Also, review the linked scripts to see if registry paths or permissions changed for Creators Update.
