Remove unnecessary spacing

* Cleaned up the script by extracting a lot of logic into their own functions
* Separated the CreateRestorePoint logic to always be checked & run before executing any changes
* Removed Windows 10 specific app removal logic that was added as a workaround for W10 issues that have since been fixed
* Fixed not all default parameters being applied correctly when running the script with both the `-RunDefaults`/`-RunDefaultsLite` and `-Silent` parameters
