  • 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:

[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 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
