Known Issues and Fixes

Launch Issues:

  • 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.

  • 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 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')
