PreviewChris Titus Tech's Windows Utility
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:
-
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 + Enteror Right-click and choose "Run as administrator" to launch it with administrator privileges.

🛠️ Build & Develop
[!NOTE] Winutil is a relatively large script, so it's split into multiple files which're combined into a single
.ps1file 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:
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):
.\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, if you don't know where to start, or have questions, you can ask over on our Discord Community Server and active project members will answer when they can.
