|
|
|
|
Open PowerShell or Terminal as admin, then run:
|
|
|
|
**Stable Branch (recommended)**
|
|
```ps1
|
|
irm https://christitus.com/win | iex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Development Branch**
|
|
```ps1
|
|
irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How to open an admin terminal

## Automation / Presets
|
|
|
|
Apply a predefined configuration without manual selection:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
& ([ScriptBlock]::Create((irm https://christitus.com/win))) -Preset Standard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
| Preset | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `Standard` | Balanced defaults for most users |
|
|
| `Minimal` | Minimal changes to suit every user |
|
|
| `Advanced` | Deep tweaks for power users |
|
|
|
|
