Essential Tweaks are modifications and optimizations that are generally safe for most users to implement. These tweaks are designed to enhance system performance, improve privacy, and reduce unnecessary system activities. They are considered low-risk and are recommended for users who want to ensure their system runs smoothly and efficiently without delving too deeply into complex configurations. The goal of Essential Tweaks is to provide noticeable improvements with minimal risk, making them suitable for a wide range of users, including those who may not have advanced technical knowledge.

"},{"location":"userguide/#advanced-tweaks-caution","title":"Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION","text":"

Advanced Tweaks are intended for experienced users who have a solid understanding of their system and the potential implications of making deep-level changes. These tweaks involve more significant alterations to the operating system and can provide substantial customization. However, they also carry a higher risk of causing system instability or unintended side effects if not implemented correctly. Users who choose to apply Advanced Tweaks should proceed with caution, ensuring they have adequate knowledge and backups in place to recover if something goes wrong. These tweaks are not recommended for novice users or those unfamiliar with the inner workings of their operating system.

  1. Specify the source Windows ISO to customize.

  2. Configure the debloat process.

  3. Specify the target location for the new ISO file.
  4. Let the magic happen!

Heads-up

This feature is still in development, and you may encounter some issues with the generated images. If that happens, don't hesitate to report an issue!

"},{"location":"userguide/#options","title":"Options","text":"

Info

OSCDIMG is the tool that lets the program create ISO images. Typically, you would find this in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit

By default, MicroWin will debloat the Pro edition, but you can choose any edition you want.

"},{"location":"userguide/#driver-integration-options","title":"Driver integration options","text":"

This makes the target image have the same hardware compatibility as the active installation. However, this means that you will only be able to install the target Windows image and take full advantage of it on computers with the same hardware. To avoid this, you'll need to customize the install.wim file of the target ISO in the 'sources` folder.

"},{"location":"userguide/#custom-user-settings","title":"Custom user settings","text":"

With MicroWin, you can also configure your user before proceeding if you don't want to use the default User account. To do this, simply type the account name (20 characters maximum), and a password. Then, let MicroWin do the rest.

Info

Please make sure that you remember your password. MicroWin will configure auto-login settings, so you won't have to enter your password. However, if you are required to enter your password, it's best that you don't forget it.

"},{"location":"userguide/#ventoy-options","title":"Ventoy options","text":"

Info

Ventoy is a solution that lets you boot to any ISO file stored on a drive. Think of it as having multiple bootable USBs in one. Do note, though, that your drive needs to have enough free space for the target ISO file.

Tip

Use the Microwin tab to create a custom Windows image & install the Windows image.

Essential Tweaks are modifications and optimizations that are generally safe for most users to implement. These tweaks are designed to enhance system performance, improve privacy, and reduce unnecessary system activities. They are considered low-risk and are recommended for users who want to ensure their system runs smoothly and efficiently without delving too deeply into complex configurations.

Advanced Tweaks are intended for experienced users who have a solid understanding of their system and the potential implications of making deep-level changes. These tweaks involve more significant alterations to the operating system and can provide substantial customization. However, they also carry a higher risk of causing system instability or unintended side effects if not implemented correctly. Users who choose to apply Advanced Tweaks should proceed with caution, ensuring they have adequate knowledge and backups in place to recover if something goes wrong. These tweaks are not recommended for novice users or those unfamiliar with the inner workings of their operating system.

Info

OSCDIMG is the tool that lets the program create ISO images. Typically, you would find this in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit

By default, MicroWin will debloat the Pro edition, but you can choose any edition you want.

"},{"location":"userguide/#driver-integration-options","title":"Driver integration options","text":"

This makes the target image have the same hardware compatibility as the active installation. However, this means that you will only be able to install the target Windows image and take full advantage of it on computers with the same hardware. To avoid this, you'll need to customize the install.wim file of the target ISO in the 'sources` folder.

"},{"location":"userguide/#custom-user-settings","title":"Custom user settings","text":"

With MicroWin, you can also configure your user before proceeding if you don't want to use the default User account. To do this, simply type the account name (20 characters maximum), and a password. Then, let MicroWin do the rest.

Info

Please make sure that you remember your password. MicroWin will configure auto-login settings, so you won't have to enter your password. However, if you are required to enter your password, it's best that you don't forget it.

Info

Ventoy is a solution that lets you boot to any ISO file stored on a drive. Think of it as having multiple bootable USBs in one. Do note, though, that your drive needs to have enough free space for the target ISO file.

function Invoke-WPFFixesUpdate {\n\n    <#\n\n    .SYNOPSIS\n        Performs various tasks in an attempt to repair Windows Update\n\n    .DESCRIPTION\n        1. (Aggressive Only) Scans the system for corruption using chkdsk, SFC, and DISM\n            Steps:\n                1. Runs chkdsk /scan /perf\n                    /scan - Runs an online scan on the volume\n                    /perf - Uses more system resources to complete a scan as fast as possible\n                2. Runs SFC /scannow\n                    /scannow - Scans integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible\n                3. Runs DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth\n                    /Online - Targets the running operating system\n                    /Cleanup-Image - Performs cleanup and recovery operations on the image\n                    /RestoreHealth - Scans the image for component store corruption and attempts to repair the corruption using Windows Update\n                4. Runs SFC /scannow\n                    Ran twice in case DISM repaired SFC\n        2. Stops Windows Update Services\n        3. Remove the QMGR Data file, which stores BITS jobs\n        4. (Aggressive Only) Renames the DataStore and CatRoot2 folders\n            DataStore - Contains the Windows Update History and Log Files\n            CatRoot2 - Contains the Signatures for Windows Update Packages\n        5. Renames the Windows Update Download Folder\n        6. Deletes the Windows Update Log\n        7. (Aggressive Only) Resets the Security Descriptors on the Windows Update Services\n        8. Reregisters the BITS and Windows Update DLLs\n        9. Removes the WSUS client settings\n        10. Resets WinSock\n        11. Gets and deletes all BITS jobs\n        12. Sets the startup type of the Windows Update Services then starts them\n        13. Forces Windows Update to check for updates\n\n    .PARAMETER Aggressive\n        If specified, the script will take additional steps to repair Windows Update that are more dangerous, take a significant amount of time, or are generally unnecessary\n\n    #>\n\n    param($Aggressive = $false)\n\n    Write-Progress -Id 0 -Activity \"Repairing Windows Update\" -PercentComplete 0\n    # Wait for the first progress bar to show, otherwise the second one won't show\n    Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 200\n\n    if ($Aggressive) {\n        # Scan system for corruption\n        Write-Progress -Id 0 -Activity \"Repairing Windows Update\" -Status \"Scanning for corruption...\" -PercentComplete 0\n        Write-Progress -Id 1 -ParentId 0 -Activity \"Scanning for corruption\" -Status \"Running chkdsk...\" -PercentComplete 0\n        # 2>&1 redirects stdout, alowing iteration over the output\n        chkdsk.exe /scan /perf 2>&1 | ForEach-Object {\n            # Write stdout to the Verbose stream\n            Write-Verbose $_\n\n            # Get the index of the total percentage\n            $index = $_.IndexOf(\"Total:\")\n            if (\n                # If the percent is found\n                ($percent = try {(\n                    $_.Substring(\n                        $index + 6,\n                        $_.IndexOf(\"%\", $index) - $index - 6\n                    )\n                ).Trim()} catch {0}) `\n                <# And the current percentage is greater than the previous one #>`\n                -and $percent -gt $oldpercent\n            ) {\n                # Update the progress bar\n                $oldpercent = $percent\n                Write-Progress -Id 1 -ParentId 0 -Activity \"Scanning for corruption\" -Status \"Running chkdsk...

Essential Tweaks

Essential Tweaks are modifications and optimizations that are generally safe for most users to implement. These tweaks are designed to enhance system performance, improve privacy, and reduce unnecessary system activities. They are considered low-risk and are recommended for users who want to ensure their system runs smoothly and efficiently without delving too deeply into complex configurations. The goal of Essential Tweaks is to provide noticeable improvements with minimal risk, making them suitable for a wide range of users, including those who may not have advanced technical knowledge.

Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION

Advanced Tweaks are intended for experienced users who have a solid understanding of their system and the potential implications of making deep-level changes. These tweaks involve more significant alterations to the operating system and can provide substantial customization. However, they also carry a higher risk of causing system instability or unintended side effects if not implemented correctly. Users who choose to apply Advanced Tweaks should proceed with caution, ensuring they have adequate knowledge and backups in place to recover if something goes wrong. These tweaks are not recommended for novice users or those unfamiliar with the inner workings of their operating system.

Updates

The utility provides three distinct settings for managing Windows updates: Default (Out of Box) Settings, Security (Recommended) Settings, and Disable ALL Updates (NOT RECOMMENDED!). Each setting offers a different approach to handling updates, catering to various user needs and preferences.

Default (Out of Box) Settings

  • Description: This setting retains the default configurations that come with Windows, ensuring no modifications are made.
  • Functionality: It will remove any custom Windows update settings previously applied.
  • Note: If update errors persist, reset all updates in the configuration tab to restore all Microsoft Update Services to their default settings, reinstalling them from their servers.
  • Description: This is the recommended setting for all computers.
  • Update Schedule:
    • Feature Updates: Delays feature updates by 2 years to avoid potential bugs and instability.
    • Security Updates: Installs security updates 4 days after their release to ensure system protection against pressing security flaws.
  • Rationale:
    • Feature Updates: Often introduce new features and bugs; delaying these updates minimizes the risk of system disruptions.
    • Security Updates: Essential for patching critical security vulnerabilities. Delaying them by a few days allows for verification of stability and compatibility without leaving the system exposed for extended periods.
  • Description: This setting completely disables all Windows updates.
  • Suitability: May be appropriate for systems used for specific purposes that do not require active internet browsing.
  • Warning: Disabling updates significantly increases the risk of the system being hacked or infected due to the lack of security patches.
  • Note: It is strongly advised against using this setting due to the heightened security risks.

Bug

The Updates tab is currently non-functional. We are actively working on a resolution to restore its functionality.

MicroWin

  • MicroWin lets you customize your Windows 10 and 11 installation images by debloating them however you want.

Microwin Microwin

Basic usage

  1. Specify the source Windows ISO to customize.

    • If you don't have a Windows ISO file prepared, you can download it using the Media Creation Tool for the respective Windows version. Here is the Windows 11 version, and here is the Windows 10 version

  2. Configure the debloat process.

  3. Specify the target location for the new ISO file.
  4. Let the magic happen!

Heads-up

This feature is still in development, and you may encounter some issues with the generated images. If that happens, don't hesitate to report an issue!

Options

  • Download oscdimg.exe from the CTT GitHub repo will grab an OSCDIMG executable from the GitHub repository instead of a Chocolatey package.

Info

OSCDIMG is the tool that lets the program create ISO images. Typically, you would find this in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit

  • Selecting a scratch directory will copy the contents of the ISO file to the directory you specify instead of an automatically generated folder in the %TEMP% directory.
  • You can select an edition of Windows to debloat (SKU) using the convenient drop-down menu.

By default, MicroWin will debloat the Pro edition, but you can choose any edition you want.

Driver integration options
  • Inject drivers will add the drivers in the folder that you specify to the target Windows image.
  • Import drivers from the current system will add every third-party driver that is present in your active installation.

This makes the target image have the same hardware compatibility as the active installation. However, this means that you will only be able to install the target Windows image and take full advantage of it on computers with the same hardware. To avoid this, you'll need to customize the install.wim file of the target ISO in the 'sources` folder.

Custom user settings

With MicroWin, you can also configure your user before proceeding if you don't want to use the default User account. To do this, simply type the account name (20 characters maximum), and a password. Then, let MicroWin do the rest.

Info

Please make sure that you remember your password. MicroWin will configure auto-login settings, so you won't have to enter your password. However, if you are required to enter your password, it's best that you don't forget it.

Ventoy options
  • Copy to Ventoy will copy the target ISO file to any USB drive with Ventoy installed

Info

Ventoy is a solution that lets you boot to any ISO file stored on a drive. Think of it as having multiple bootable USBs in one. Do note, though, that your drive needs to have enough free space for the target ISO file.

Automation

  • Some features are available through automation. This allows you to save your config file, pass it to WinUtil, walk away and come back to a finished system. Here is how you can set it up currently with Winutil >24.01.15

  • On the Install Tab, click "Get Installed", this will get all installed apps supported by Winutil on the system. GetInstalled GetInstalled

  • Click on the Settings cog in the upper right corner and choose Export. Choose file file and location; this will export the setting file. SettingsExport SettingsExport

  • Copy this file to a USB or somewhere you can use it after Windows installation.

Tip

Use the Microwin tab to create a custom Windows image & install the Windows image.

  • On any supported Windows machine, open PowerShell as Admin and run the following command to automatically apply tweaks and install apps from the config file. 
    iex "& { $(irm christitus.com/win) } -Config [path-to-your-config] -Run"
-
  • Have a cup of coffee! Come back when it's done.

  • Description: This setting retains the default configurations that come with Windows, ensuring no modifications are made.
  • Functionality: It will remove any custom Windows update settings previously applied.
  • Note: If update errors persist, reset all updates in the configuration tab to restore all Microsoft Update Services to their default settings, reinstalling them from their servers.
  • Description: This is the recommended setting for all computers.
  • Update Schedule:
    • Feature Updates: Delays feature updates by 2 years to avoid potential bugs and instability.
    • Security Updates: Installs security updates 4 days after their release to ensure system protection against pressing security flaws.
  • Rationale:
    • Feature Updates: Often introduce new features and bugs; delaying these updates minimizes the risk of system disruptions.
    • Security Updates: Essential for patching critical security vulnerabilities. Delaying them by a few days allows for verification of stability and compatibility without leaving the system exposed for extended periods.
  • Description: This setting completely disables all Windows updates.
  • Suitability: May be appropriate for systems used for specific purposes that do not require active internet browsing.
  • Warning: Disabling updates significantly increases the risk of the system being hacked or infected due to the lack of security patches.
  • Note: It is strongly advised against using this setting due to the heightened security risks.

Bug

The Updates tab is currently non-functional. We are actively working on a resolution to restore its functionality.

MicroWin

  • MicroWin lets you customize your Windows 10 and 11 installation images by debloating them however you want.

Microwin Microwin

Basic usage

  1. Specify the source Windows ISO to customize.

    • If you don't have a Windows ISO file prepared, you can download it using the Media Creation Tool for the respective Windows version. Here is the Windows 11 version, and here is the Windows 10 version

  2. Configure the debloat process.

  3. Specify the target location for the new ISO file.
  4. Let the magic happen!

Heads-up

This feature is still in development, and you may encounter some issues with the generated images. If that happens, don't hesitate to report an issue!

Options

  • Download oscdimg.exe from the CTT GitHub repo will grab an OSCDIMG executable from the GitHub repository instead of a Chocolatey package.

Info

OSCDIMG is the tool that lets the program create ISO images. Typically, you would find this in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit

  • Selecting a scratch directory will copy the contents of the ISO file to the directory you specify instead of an automatically generated folder in the %TEMP% directory.
  • You can select an edition of Windows to debloat (SKU) using the convenient drop-down menu.

By default, MicroWin will debloat the Pro edition, but you can choose any edition you want.

Driver integration options
  • Inject drivers will add the drivers in the folder that you specify to the target Windows image.
  • Import drivers from the current system will add every third-party driver that is present in your active installation.

This makes the target image have the same hardware compatibility as the active installation. However, this means that you will only be able to install the target Windows image and take full advantage of it on computers with the same hardware. To avoid this, you'll need to customize the install.wim file of the target ISO in the 'sources` folder.

Custom user settings

With MicroWin, you can also configure your user before proceeding if you don't want to use the default User account. To do this, simply type the account name (20 characters maximum), and a password. Then, let MicroWin do the rest.

Info

Please make sure that you remember your password. MicroWin will configure auto-login settings, so you won't have to enter your password. However, if you are required to enter your password, it's best that you don't forget it.

Ventoy options
  • Copy to Ventoy will copy the target ISO file to any USB drive with Ventoy installed

Info

Ventoy is a solution that lets you boot to any ISO file stored on a drive. Think of it as having multiple bootable USBs in one. Do note, though, that your drive needs to have enough free space for the target ISO file.

Automation

  • Some features are available through automation. This allows you to save your config file, pass it to WinUtil, walk away and come back to a finished system. Here is how you can set it up currently with Winutil >24.01.15

  • On the Install Tab, click "Get Installed", this will get all installed apps supported by Winutil on the system. GetInstalled GetInstalled

  • Click on the Settings cog in the upper right corner and choose Export. Choose file file and location; this will export the setting file. SettingsExport SettingsExport

  • Copy this file to a USB or somewhere you can use it after Windows installation.

Tip

Use the Microwin tab to create a custom Windows image & install the Windows image.

  • On any supported Windows machine, open PowerShell as Admin and run the following command to automatically apply tweaks and install apps from the config file. 
    iex "& { $(irm christitus.com/win) } -Config [path-to-your-config] -Run"

  • Have a cup of coffee! Come back when it's done.
