CodingWonders 8622892827 [MicroWin] June-August 2025 Update (#3417)
* Disable "Microsoft account" notification source

* [WinPE] Remove driver addition block for WinPE

WE DO NOT TOUCH THE DRIVERS IN WinPE. There are reports of people getting "Install driver to show hardware" screens all over this repository, and on Discord; and the less drivers we touch in WinPE, the better.

Drivers can still be added to Preinstallation Environments in the following ways:

- Using the driver installation screens
- Firing up "drvload.exe <driver>" in cmd

* [Fix] Added fallback for DISM export command

This is a port of the fix in #3305

* [Cleanup] Removed some comments that no longer make sense

* [Fix] Same DISM export image fallback fix

* Merge branch 'main' into microwin-202506

* [Fix] Improve UI consistency for instructions

Fixes #3394

* Merge branch 'main' into microwin-202506

* [Unattended answer file] Remove it from drive root

The answer file, on the drive root, is not necessary for us to apply it. In fact, it's not even used there

Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility

Version GitHub Downloads (specific asset, all releases) Static Badge

This utility is a compilation of Windows tasks I perform on each Windows system I use. It is meant to streamline installs, debloat with tweaks, troubleshoot with config, and fix Windows updates. I am extremely picky about any contributions to keep this project clean and efficient.

screen-install

💡 Usage

Winutil must be run in Admin mode because it performs system-wide tweaks. To achieve this, run PowerShell as an administrator. Here are a few ways to do it:

  1. Start menu Method:

    • Right-click on the start menu.
    • Choose "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" (for Windows 10) or "Terminal (Admin)" (for Windows 11).
  2. Search and Launch Method:

    • Press the Windows key.
    • Type "PowerShell" or "Terminal" (for Windows 11).
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter or Right-click and choose "Run as administrator" to launch it with administrator privileges.

🛠️ Build & Develop

Note

Winutil is a relatively large script, so it's split into multiple files which're combined into a single .ps1 file using a custom compiler. This makes maintaining the project a lot easier.

Get a copy of the source code, this can be done using GitHub UI (Code -> Download ZIP), or by cloning (downloading) the repo using git.

If git is installed, run the following commands under a PowerShell window to clone and move into project's directory:

git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil.git"
cd winutil

To build the project, run the Compile Script under a PowerShell window (admin permissions IS NOT required):

.\Compile.ps1

You'll see a new file named winutil.ps1, which's created by Compile.ps1 script, now you can run it as admin and a new window will popup, enjoy your own compiled version of WinUtil :)

Tip

For more info on using WinUtil and how to develop for it, please consider reading the Contribution Guidelines, if you don't know where to start, or have questions, you can ask over on our Discord Community Server and active project members will answer when they can.
