What it is

OFGB is a WPF-based C# GUI utility that disables advertisements injected by Microsoft into Windows 11 (File Explorer, Start Menu, etc.) via the April 2024 KB5036980 update. It works by programmatically modifying Windows Registry keys to flip ad-related feature flags off, providing a user-friendly interface instead of requiring manual registry edits. Monolithic WPF application: MainWindow.xaml.cs contains the core logic (Registry key list and modification methods), App.xaml.cs handles application lifecycle, and dark.xaml provides UI theming. No separation of concerns—business logic lives directly in the UI layer rather than in a dedicated services or models folder.

Start here

Open these first:

• MainWindow.xaml.cs — Core logic for registry key modifications and ad-removal operations; contains the 33+ registry keys that define the tool's…
• MainWindow.xaml — UI layout and control definitions for the main application window; defines all user-facing buttons and status displays.
• App.xaml.cs — Application entry point and startup logic; initializes the WPF application and window lifecycle.
• OFGB.csproj — Project configuration and build settings; defines assembly version, target framework, and Windows SDK dependencies.
• dark.xaml — Theme resource dictionary for dark mode styling; applied globally to all UI controls for consistent appearance.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB
cd OFGB
# Open OFGB.sln in Visual Studio 2022 or later
# Build via Ctrl+Shift+B or Build > Build Solution

Requires: Visual Studio (Community, Professional, or Enterprise) and .NET 8.0 SDK installed.

Daily commands:

1. Open OFGB.sln in Visual Studio. 2. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to build. 3. Press Ctrl+F5 to run (or F5 with debugger). The WPF application window launches immediately; no CLI, dev server, or additional setup required.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Small team — 3 contributors active in recent commits
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 90% of recent commits
• No rollback mechanism: Once Registry keys are modified, there is no 'undo' button in the UI—users must manually revert via Registry Editor or re-run the installer to restore defaults. Requires admin elevation:…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
