Remove insecure "Print 3D" app

Overview​

About this script

This script improves your privacy on Windows.

These changes use Windows system commands to update your settings.

This script uninstalls the "Print 3D" application.

This app enhances 3D printing by supporting network printers, optimizing settings, and rendering objects realistically 1.

However, this app poses certain risks. The application can access the Internet, home or work networksm and your 3D objects 1. It has known serious security vulnerabilities such as "Remote Code Execution Vulnerability" 2. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to remotely execute malicious code on your system. This app is no longer supported 3, and Microsoft does not plan to issue patches 2.

Removing this app mitigates security risks, enhances privacy by reducing data exposure, and frees up system resources, potentially improving performance.

Microsoft has deprecated the "Print 3D" app in favor of the "Microsoft 3D Builder" app 3. It is recommended to upgrade to this newer application for ongoing support and features.

This script removes both the legacy Windows.Print3D and the current Microsoft.Print3D packages from your system. Windows.Print3D package name is changed to Microsoft.Print3D since Windows 1903 4.
