-
-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 `main` branch, but I am very selective about these.
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> Do not use a code formatter, massive amounts of line changes, and make multiple feature changes.
-> EACH FEATURE CHANGE SHOULD BE IT'S OWN Pull Request!
-
-When creating pull requests, it is essential to thoroughly document all changes made. This includes, but 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 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.

-## Error `0x80041031`
-
-This error code typically indicates an issue related to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
-
-1. **Reboot Your Computer:**
-   Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve temporary issues. Restart your computer and try mounting the ISO again.
-
-2. **Check for System Corruption:**
-   Run the System File Checker (SFC) utility to scan and repair system files that may be corrupted.
-   ```powershell
-   sfc /scannow
-   ```
-
-3. **Update Your System:**
-   Make sure your operating system is up-to-date. Check for Windows updates and install any pending updates.
-
-4. **Check WMI Service:**
-   Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running. You can do this through the Services application:
-   - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog.
-   - Type `services.msc` and press Enter.
-   - Locate "Windows Management Instrumentation" in the list.
-   - Make sure to set its status to "Running" and the startup type to "Automatic."
-
-5. **Check for Security Software Interference:**
-   Security software can sometimes interfere with WMI operations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or security software and check if the issue persists.
-
-6. **Event Viewer:**
-   Check the Event Viewer for more detailed error information. Look for entries related to the `80041031` error and check if there are any additional details that can help identify the cause.
-
-   - Press `Win + X` and select "Event Viewer."
-   - Navigate to "Windows Logs" -> "Application" or "System."
-   - Look for entries with the source related to WMI or the application use to mount the ISO.
-
-7. **ISO File Integrity:**
-   Ensure that the ISO file you are trying to mount is uncorrupted. Try mounting a different ISO file to see if the issue persists.
-
-If the problem persists after trying these steps, additional troubleshooting is required. Consider seeking assistance from Microsoft support or community forums for more specific guidance based on your system configuration and the software you use to mount the ISO.

+## Known Issues and Fixes
+
+### Launch Issues:
+
+- Windows Security (formerly Defender) and other anti-virus software are known to block the script. The script gets flagged due to the fact that it requires administrator privileges & makes drastic system changes.
+  - If possible: Allow script in Anti-Virus software settings.
+
+- If you are having TLS 1.2 issues, or are having trouble resolving `christitus.com/win` then run with the following command:
+
+```ps1
+[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol=[Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12;iex(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/releases/latest/download/winutil.ps1')
+```
+
+- If you are unable to resolve `christitus.com/win` and are getting  errors launching the tool, it might be due to India blocking GitHub's content domain and preventing downloads.
+  - Source: <https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/github-content-domain-blocked-for-these-indian-users-reports/articleshow/96687992.cms>
+
+If you are still having issues try using a **VPN**, or changing your **DNS provider** to:
+
+| `1.1.1.1` | `1.0.0.1` | or  | `8.8.8.8` | `8.8.4.4` |
+|---------|---------|-----|---------|---------|
+
+- Script doesn't run/PowerShell crashes:
+  1. Press Windows Key+X and select 'PowerShell (Admin)' (Windows 10) or 'Windows Terminal (Admin)' (Windows 11)

+### Troubleshoot errors during Microwin usage
+
+#### Error `0x80041031`
+
+This error code typically indicates an issue related to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
+
+1. **Reboot Your Computer:**
+   Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve temporary issues. Restart your computer and try mounting the ISO again.
+
+2. **Check for System Corruption:**
+   Run the System File Checker (SFC) utility to scan and repair system files that may be corrupted.
+   ```powershell
+   sfc /scannow
+   ```
+
+3. **Update Your System:**
+   Make sure your operating system is up-to-date. Check for Windows updates and install any pending updates.
+
+4. **Check WMI Service:**
+   Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running. You can do this through the Services application:
+   - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog.
+   - Type `services.msc` and press Enter.
+   - Locate "Windows Management Instrumentation" in the list.
+   - Make sure to set its status to "Running" and the startup type to "Automatic."
+
+5. **Check for Security Software Interference:**
+   Security software can sometimes interfere with WMI operations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or security software and check if the issue persists.
+
+6. **Event Viewer:**
+   Check the Event Viewer for more detailed error information. Look for entries related to the `80041031` error and check if there are any additional details that can help identify the cause.
+
+   - Press `Win + X` and select "Event Viewer."
+   - Navigate to "Windows Logs" -> "Application" or "System."
+   - Look for entries with the source related to WMI or the application use to mount the ISO.
+
+7. **ISO File Integrity:**
+   Ensure that the ISO file you are trying to mount is uncorrupted. Try mounting a different ISO file to see if the issue persists.
+
+If the problem persists after trying these steps, additional troubleshooting is required. Consider seeking assistance from Microsoft support or community forums for more specific guidance based on your system configuration and the software you use to mount the ISO.

 ### MicroWin
 
+**MicroWin** lets you customize your Windows 10 and 11 installation images by debloating them however you want.
+
+![MicroWin](assets/MicroWinScreen.png)
+
+#### 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](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2156295) is the Windows 11 version, and [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2265055) 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!
+
+**NOTE:** 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 CTT GitHub repo** will grab a OSCDIMG executable from the GitHub repository instead of a Chocolatey package
+
+	OSCDIMG is the tool that lets the program create ISO images. Typically, you would find this in the [Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install)
+
+* Selecting a scratch directory will copy the contents of the ISO file to the directory you specify instead of an automatically generated folder on 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
+
+
+##### Customization options
+
+* **Keep Provisioned Packages**: leaving this option unticked (default) will try to remove every operating system package
+
+	Some packages may remain after processing. This can happen if the packages in question were permanent ones or had been superseded by newer versions
+
+* **Keep Appx Packages**: leaving this option unticked (default) will try to remove every Microsoft Store app from the Windows image
+
+	This option will exclude some applications that are essential in the case that you want or need to add a Store app later on
+
+* **Keep Defender**: leaving this option unticked will try to remove every part of Windows Defender, including the Windows Security app
+
+	Leaving this option unticked is **NOT recommended** unless you plan to use a third-party antivirus solution on your MicroWin installation. On that regard, don't install AVs with bad reputation or rogueware
+
+* **Keep Edge**: leaving this option unticked will try to remove every part of the Microsoft Edge browser using the best methods available
+
+	Leaving this option unticked is not recommended because it might break some applications that might depend on the `Edge WebView2` runtime. However, if that happens, you can easily [reinstall it](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2)
+
+
+##### Driver integration options
+
+* **Inject drivers** will add the drivers in the folder that you specify to the target Windows image
+* **Import drivers from 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 of 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
+
+
+##### Ventoy options
+
+* **Copy to Ventoy** will copy the target ISO file to any USB drive with [Ventoy](https://ventoy.net/en/index.html) installed
+
+	Ventoy is a solution that lets you boot to any ISO file stored in 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

-# Troubleshoot errors during Microwin usage
-
-## Error `0x80041031`
-
-This error code typically indicates an issue related to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
-
-1. **Reboot Your Computer:**
-   Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve temporary issues. Restart your computer and try mounting the ISO again.
-
-2. **Check for System Corruption:**
-   Run the System File Checker (SFC) utility to scan and repair system files that may be corrupted.
-   ```powershell
-   sfc /scannow
-   ```
-
-3. **Update Your System:**
-   Make sure your operating system is up-to-date. Check for Windows updates and install any pending updates.
-
-4. **Check WMI Service:**
-   Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is running. You can do this through the Services application:
-   - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog.
-   - Type `services.msc` and press Enter.
-   - Locate "Windows Management Instrumentation" in the list.
-   - Make sure to set its status to "Running" and the startup type to "Automatic."
-
-5. **Check for Security Software Interference:**
-   Security software can sometimes interfere with WMI operations. Temporarily disable your antivirus or security software and check if the issue persists.
-
-6. **Event Viewer:**
-   Check the Event Viewer for more detailed error information. Look for entries related to the `80041031` error and check if there are any additional details that can help identify the cause.
-
-   - Press `Win + X` and select "Event Viewer."
-   - Navigate to "Windows Logs" -> "Application" or "System."
-   - Look for entries with the source related to WMI or the application use to mount the ISO.
-
-7. **ISO File Integrity:**
-   Ensure that the ISO file you are trying to mount is uncorrupted. Try mounting a different ISO file to see if the issue persists.
-
-If the problem persists after trying these steps, additional troubleshooting is required. Consider seeking assistance from Microsoft support or community forums for more specific guidance based on your system configuration and the software you use to mount the ISO.
