Chris 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 :)
