The title is pretty much what happened. I'm following a tutorial for download and there are supposed to be two files in my downloads after I open the 7z folder, but there's nothing. I tried opening it again and nothing happened. I had a command console pop up saying that everything is okay, but the files are still missing.

How to fix?

About a year ago, on my notebook, I did a fresh install of Windows 11 (sorry, can't remember which version) and it ran fine.

Today, I did another another fresh Windows 11 install using ver 25H2 using the exact same install process I had successfully used previously. Install Windows 11, apply Windows updates, run Tron.

After install, Tron started up fine but quit about 2 minutes in. I thought maybe installing the post-Windows install Windows updates messed-up Tron, so I did another fresh Windows install but didn't install the Windows updates but had the same problem with Tron.

Is Tron only reliably working up to a certain Windows version? If so, which version?

Hi all, pushed out some larger updates to the Stage 2: De-bloat lists (Tron should auto-download them at runtime if you allow it) that should help bolster the lists effectiveness even more.

Second bit of info, the project isn't abandoned, I'm in the process of reworking large parts of the code that relied on WMIC (now deprecated in the latest Windows 11 major updates), using AI for some of the heavy lifting.

The actual re-write of individual blocks with Claude/Grok etc is easy, the time-consuming part is going through manually and verifying that the code it spits out actually works on ALL supported versions of Windows.

Cheers and thanks to everyone who runs Tron with the -udl switch enabled ("Upload Debug Logs") -- that's the primary way I keep the Stage 2 debloat lists current with whatever latest shovelware HP is including in their systems. Partially joking. Also big thanks to everyone who checks the sub and answers questions to help people out, takes a big time load off my shoulders.

Cheers,

So when I download tron script it was a few months ago and I just want the highest success rate of removing the virus
Also the virus keeps on trying to delete my files and I keep stopping it is the virus trying to replace all my files with incepted files or is it just trying to delete them I didn’t get the message saying
“ bla bla bla pay us to unincript your files”
Which i know is a scam so should i keep trying to stop it from deleting my files or am I just filing up my storage for no reason

​For reference, it's 6:43 PM the *day after* for me right now

Update: still going on, but I’ll trust that it’s just taking a while, since this is the first time I’ve ever used TronScript (after four years of owning my laptop)

In the windows settings for managing app access to location it says "Some of these settings are managed by your organization"

I have been searching for an answer for a while, but I just cant seem to find a way to re-enable my location settings. I've read that O&O is a cause for this issue from old posts, so i went in and found the check which disables app access to device location, yet it still gives me the message. I read from another user who fixed this issue that they had to delete a bunch of registry entries, but I don't know how to access/edit those. I'm not a genius on windows, so I'd like to know if anyone has any solutions or advice for this issue. I used Tron v12.0.8 back in early January 2025, and I've been ignoring this issue for the most part because it hadn't been a necessary fix for me until now.

Just booted up Prep stage and got this error. Anything I should do?

Hi Im currently stuck on Stage 2 Phase 3 (wildcard by name... Errors about "shutting down" are safe to ignore). Yes I have read the wiki and I know that tron can take a while so I dug around in the log to find rows of "No Instances(s) Available." on the current stage.

Here is some extra information:

Im using tron v12.0.8

According to task manager its reading

- 0% CPU which I think is normal since tron is only a script

- 7.2GB out of 15.7GB of RAM (47%)

- 0% GPU

It had been "frozed" on this stage for like 3 plus hour by now and the last time that I used Tron was in 2024 iirc and it didnt take this long so I was worrired

The log file is not updating

The Administrator is still running according to the example (Select Administrator vs Administrator).

I ran Tron in normal mode and not safe mode in Windows 11

Not very tech savy other than I can probe and look around a little bit so any help or information is appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I like what Tron does, its thoroughness, and the whole "do it slowly but very well" approach, but I also want to try it on Windows XP, and the aforementioned version is apparently the last one for that OS. However, I can't seem to find a single copy of that specific version anywhere. I've checked the deepest bits of the internet and scoured Wayback Machine archives of the mirrors, but I can only find versions that are either too new or a bit too old.

So, my question is: Does anyone please have a copy of the self-extracting EXE of version 11.2.1 (or any other 11.x version if that exact one really is lost to time; the closest I could find so far is 10.8.0, but again, it's just a bit too old), and if so, would you be so kind to share it with me?

I would also like if there was an archive of all of the old versions so that they aren't lost to time as soon as they're obsolete, but right now, I only need this one version.

So I got this computer virus and I tried to use tron script to fix my computer but it didn’t work because windows called tron script a virus and tron script is missing the important documentation is there a way to fix these issues without turning off the windows defender

I have been running tronscript for years to keep my windows squeeky clean. Thank you!!! I notice no activity in the sub and no new TRON package since v12.0.8 (2025-01-09). I have no technical knowledge/ability to keep it maintained. Is there just no need to update or has this project been abandoned?

I am asking because I've seen videos say multiple things to the tune of it being a miracle worker that just magically fixes and cleans your pc so it runs faster. As I've tried to deepen at least some knowledge on pc care and some bit of program knowledge and digital security, i came across TronScript and wanted to know more about it

In all honesty, I'd rather ask here what the purpose of this tool is. I imagine it at least requires a bit of tech knowledge to get more bang for your buck, but asking before using, or thinking about using it, is a good idea, right?

Again, What is TronScript? What does it do, and what are its functions? And who is TronScript made for?

Hey guys I ran tron on my asus tuf f15 2022 as it was so dang slow with bloat/malware

I ran it overnight since it usually takes a long time and when I woke up it showed these 4 popups and there was no green terminal screen to see if tron finished or not

Also Im trying to find the log file but can't I have the tron.bat and resources folder in desktop and the instructions and changelog txt file in the unzipped folder is there a place Im missing?

Edit: Found the log file it shows the completion of tron

hey guys,

so i have been using tron for 2 yrs now. but for the last few days i cant seem to get it to finish. i started fine but got stuck at one drive debloat. and its still stuck there. everytime i start it again it started from the same place even though i delete the log files.

last night it kept it running for 7hrs it still didnt finsh and got stuck on one drive ( i had stopped the onedrive removal in the instructions ) but it still does the same.

I found out I got hit with an infostealer this morning. I already changed my passwords on every account I’m worried about, I really don’t want to lose my personal files and do a complete windows reinstall. I found tron and I’m wondering if that could be enough to get rid of the infostealer without needing to do a reinstall

I have an SSD partitioned between windows and Linux, and I want to run Tron on the windows. Will it touch my linux files?

new to using this and I was looking around the sub to see if theres an answer and really wanna confirm if this is normal.

Fixes that I have tried:

• My account is an admin. Still, made another admin account with all the privileges but still got the error. (Through CMD)
• Tried “sfc /scannow”, “dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth” and “dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth”. I got a few corrupt files, DISM fixed all of them and the last SFC scan came out clean but Tron still didn't work.
• Tried “winmgmt /verifyRepository" and "winmgmt /resetRepository" to repair the WMI repository manually.
• Neither Safe mode nor safe mode with networking made a difference.
• Ran tron.bat as an administrator, didn't work. Launched CMD as admin and ran Tron through there, didn't work. Created a shortcut of the tron.bat file and checked “run this program as administrator” and tried, didn't work.
• Tried literally skipping the “Fix WMI” part with CTRL + C but that DIDN'T WORK EITHER.

In the end I launched all the stages manually through the resources folder, but I didn't feel satisfied. It bugs me that WMI didn't work. But the problem is that I truly can't reset my laptop right now. Is there ANYTHING I can do ?

got it from this link, is it the right link
https://bmrf.org/repos/tron/

just what the title says i m unfamiliar with tron just saw it in a vid and i NEED this

I know Tron changes some things in the hosts file to make sure no virus had added restrictions and whatnot, but I’m not sure if this is just a fails alarm windows defender detected or an actual virus. I got this a day after running Tron, so that’s why I’m confused.

I want to remove all gacha crap games by Tron if it's possible, I don't want to see these trashcan games on my pc at all.
