[MicroWin] First Anniversary Special PR (#2853)
* Fix minor denomination problem for packages

* Fix incorrect filter of OS packages

Packages such as the metadata for capabilities (FoDs) or the foundation package were being incorrectly filtered. They were part of `Remove-ProvisionedPackages`, which only removes AppX packages. These are **OS packages**, something completely different

* Fixed indentation

* Exclude `Microsoft-RemoteDesktopConnection`

Exclude that from feature list. Fixes #2705

* Remove DISM from AppX removal listings

DISM is a system component. It will never be an AppX package. This is unnecessary

* Improve error handling for file copy

* Remove space (for some reason)

Compilation script is very adamant that this should be this way

* Exclude the VBSCRIPT Features on Demand from pkgs

Exclude the VBSCRIPT feature on demand (or capability) from package removal. Some people were reporting that excluding VBSCRIPT fixed problems with AMD chipset drivers on MicroWin

* Exclude Recall from feature listings

This fixes problems people were experiencing where the file explorer would go back to the Windows 10 layout

* Improve error output

* Add 24H2 to release list

* Detect Windows 10 and show compatibility dialog

* Disable some insane desktop stuff on Windows 10

I've only been able to disable Search Highlights. News and Interests persists

* Change policy for News and Interests

Avoid showing "Access denied" errors for this. This is still broken - News and Interests is still there. [louder]Linus Torvalds curse word here[/louder]

Anyway, if someone wants to give setting this up a shot, send me suggestions on how to do this

* Write suggestion for AV

* Hold errored packages in a list

Items are being added correctly, but I can't get that to show to the end-user. Perhaps a different approach will work

* Remove older Windows versions from download list

Sadly, the links for these had been removed by Microsoft, in favor of the latest version (24H2)

* Add sorting to error messages

Thanks @og-mrk for the suggestion and the patch (even though I applied it myself)

* Make error messages easier to view (#1)

* Make error messages easier to view

* Improve error output

* Disable Recall on first run

Keeps the Explorer look of modern Windows 11 builds whilst removing the Recall feature (which I think will manifest itself on PCs with Lunar Lake processors)

* Replace "C:\" with environment variable

This still works on single-boot configurations, but presents a more dynamic approach

* Fix Volume Mixer issues and removal of leftovers

Fix originally from @MyDrift-user on #2856

* Add missing piece to last commit

* Default to downloading OSCDIMG from GitHub repo

Chocolatey may not be the way to help us detect the presence of OSCDIMG.

Everyone, unless someone REALLY uses old deployment technology, has moved to Windows ADK 10.0

* Fix Sorting of Errored Packages by using 'Sort-Object' instead of 'IComparer' approach (#2)

Fixes startup issues in PWSH 7

* Remove reference to News and Interests from output

Even though the logic is still there, it doesn't work. I don't want to deal with that anymore. Search Highlights, on the other hand, is removed very easily

* Exclude License packages from removal

They throw an "Access denied" error when trying to remove them. This is a timesaver

Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility

Version GitHub Downloads (specific asset, all releases)

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.
