base on Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility - Install Programs, Tweaks, Fixes, and Updates # Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility [](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/releases/latest)  [](https://discord.gg/RUbZUZyByQ) [](https://winutil.christitus.com/) 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.  ## 💡 Usage 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: 1. **Start menu Method:** - Right-click on the start menu. - Choose "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" (for Windows 10) or "Terminal (Admin)" (for Windows 11). 2. **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. ### Launch Command #### Stable Branch (Recommended) ```ps1 irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex ``` #### Dev Branch ```ps1 irm "https://christitus.com/windev" | iex ``` If you have Issues, refer to [Known Issues](https://winutil.christitus.com/knownissues/) or [Create Issue](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues) ## 🎓 Documentation ### [WinUtil Official Documentation](https://winutil.christitus.com/) ### [YouTube Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UQZ5oQg8XA) ### [ChrisTitus.com Article](https://christitus.com/windows-tool/) ## 🛠️ Build & Develop > [!NOTE] > Winutil is a relatively large script, so it's split into multiple files which're combined into a single `.ps1` file using a custom compiler. This makes maintaining the project a lot easier. Get a copy of the source code, this can be done using GitHub UI (`Code -> Download ZIP`), or by cloning (downloading) the repo using git. If git is installed, run the following commands under a PowerShell window to clone and move into project's directory: ```ps1 git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil.git" cd winutil ``` To build the project, run the Compile Script under a PowerShell window (admin permissions IS NOT required): ```ps1 .\Compile.ps1 ``` You'll see a new file named `winutil.ps1`, which's created by `Compile.ps1` script, now you can run it as admin and a new window will popup, enjoy your own compiled version of WinUtil :) > [!TIP] > For more info on using WinUtil and how to develop for it, please consider reading [the Contribution Guidelines](https://winutil.christitus.com/contributing/), if you don't know where to start, or have questions, you can ask over on our [Discord Community Server](https://discord.gg/RUbZUZyByQ) and active project members will answer when they can. ## 💖 Support - To morally and mentally support the project, make sure to leave a ⭐️! - EXE Wrapper for $10 @ https://www.cttstore.com/windows-toolbox ## 💖 Sponsors These are the sponsors that help keep this project alive with monthly contributions. <!-- sponsors --><a href="https://github.com/dwelfusius"><img src="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dwelfusius.png" width="60px" alt="User avatar: " /></a><a href="https://github.com/mews-se"><img src="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mews-se.png" width="60px" alt="User avatar: Martin Stockzell" /></a><a href="https://github.com/jdiegmueller"><img src="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jdiegmueller.png" width="60px" alt="User avatar: Jason A.
