### Will installed apps auto-update?
Applications with built-in update mechanisms will auto-update. You can also update them via WinGet/Chocolatey commands or through Winutil's "Upgrade Selected" feature.
## MicroWin
### What is MicroWin?
MicroWin is a feature that creates custom Windows installation ISOs with bloatware removed, optimizations applied, and unnecessary components stripped out before installation.
### Is MicroWin legal?
Modifying Windows ISOs is a gray area legally. Use MicroWin for personal/educational purposes. You still need a valid Windows license to use the resulting installation.
### Can I install Windows updates on MicroWin?
Yes, Windows Update works normally on MicroWin installations. Some removed components may be restored by updates.
### How much smaller is a MicroWin ISO?
Depends on what you remove. Typically:
- Standard Windows 11: ~5.5 GB ISO, ~20-25 GB installed
- MicroWin (aggressive): ~3.5 GB ISO, ~10-15 GB installed
### Will all software work on MicroWin?
Most desktop applications work fine. Microsoft Store apps won't work if you removed the Store. Some features may be missing if you removed their dependencies.

Type `Y` and press Enter in the PowerShell window. This only happens on first use and configures WinGet for your system.
