This utility is a compilation of Windows tasks I perform on each Windows system I use. It is meant to streamline installs, debloat with tweaks, troubleshoot with config, and fix Windows updates. I am extremely picky about any contributions to keep this project clean and efficient.

Winutil must be run in Admin mode because it performs system-wide tweaks. To achieve this, run PowerShell as an administrator. Here are a few ways to do it:

Start menu Method:

  • Right-click on the start menu.
  • Choose "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" (for Windows 10) or "Terminal (Admin)" (for Windows 11).

Search and Launch Method:

  • Press the Windows key.
  • Type "PowerShell" or "Terminal" (for Windows 11).
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter or Right-click and choose "Run as administrator" to launch it with administrator privileges.
