Use the Features and Fixes sections to install optional Windows components and run common repair tasks.

This page maps to the Config tab in Winutil. Some actions complete immediately, while others may prompt, download files from Microsoft, or require a restart before the change is fully available.

Windows Features

Install common Windows features by selecting the feature checkboxes and clicking Install Features.

If a feature depends on Windows installation media or optional downloads, Windows may take longer to finish or request a reboot.

  • Hyper-V Virtualization
  • Legacy Media (WMP, DirectPlay)
  • NFS - Network File System
  • Enable Daily Registry Backup Task 12:30 AM
  • Enable Legacy F8 Boot Recovery
  • Disable Legacy F8 Boot Recovery

Fixes

Use these one-click fixes for common system problems.

Use these when you have a specific issue to correct, not as a routine cleanup step.

  • Set Up Autologin
  • Reset Windows Update
  • Reset Network

Legacy Windows Panels

Open old-school Windows panels directly from Winutil. Available panels include:

  • System Properties

Remote Access

Enable an OpenSSH server on your Windows machine for remote access.

Only enable this if you intend to use remote shell access. After turning it on, verify your firewall rules and account permissions before exposing the machine to other devices.
