* Pull requests are now handled directly on the **MAIN branch**. This was done since we can now select specific releases to launch via releases in GitHub.
* If you're doing code changes, then you can submit a PR to the `main` branch, but I am very selective about these.
* If you're doing code changes, then you can submit a PR to the `main` branch.
!!! warning "Important"
Do not use a code formatter, make massive amounts of line changes, or make multiple feature changes. EACH FEATURE CHANGE SHOULD BE IT'S OWN PULL REQUEST!
Do not open a pull request that adds support for other languages to WinUtil for now, until we decide how we want to move forward with language support.
* When creating pull requests, it is essential to thoroughly document all changes made. This includes, but is not limited to, documenting any additions made to the `tweaks` section and corresponding `undo tweak`, so users are able to remove the newly added tweaks if necessary, and comprehensive documentation is required for all code changes. Document your changes and briefly explain why you made your changes in your Pull Request Description. Failure to adhere to this format may result in the denial of the pull request. Additionally, any code lacking sufficient documentation may also be denied.
* By following these guidelines, we can maintain a high standard of quality and ensure that the codebase remains organized and well-documented.

### Script Won't Run
If your PowerShell session is running in **Constrained Language Mode**, some scripts and commands may fail to execute. To check the current language mode, run:
```powershell
$ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode
```
If it returns `ConstrainedLanguage`, you may need to switch to `FullLanguage` mode or run the script in a session with administrative privileges. Be aware that some security policies may enforce Constrained Language Mode, especially in corporate or managed environments.
If you run WinUtil and get the error:
**If the download fails**:
`"WinUtil is unable to run on your system, powershell execution is restricted by security policies,"`
1. Try the direct GitHub link:
```powershell
irm https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/Winutil/releases/latest/download/Winutil.ps1 | iex
```
2. Force TLS 1.2:
```powershell
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex
```
> [!NOTE]
> On Windows 11, you usually do not need the TLS 1.2 command. Use it only if you encounter download or security protocol errors.
### Execution Policy Error
If you see an execution policy error when running the downloaded script, you can allow the current session to run unsigned scripts with this command:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process -Force
irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex
```
This only changes the policy for the current PowerShell process and is safe for one-off runs.
### Interface Doesn't Appear
If Winutil downloads, but the GUI does not open or appear, try these steps:
1. Check if your antivirus or Windows Defender is blocking the script — add an exclusion if necessary.
2. Ensure you launched PowerShell / Terminal as **Administrator**.
3. Close and reopen PowerShell, then run the launch command again.
4. If the script still doesn't show, try running the script in a visible PowerShell window (avoid background/silent shells) to observe output and errors.
this means that your PowerShell session is in **Constrained Language Mode**, which prevents WinUtil from running.

## Registry Changes
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify Windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
You can find information about the registry on [Wikipedia](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_Registry) and [Microsoft's Website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/registry).
