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.\n\n![screen-install](/docs/assets/images/Title-Screen.png)\n\n## 💡 Usage\n\nWinutil 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:\n\n1. **Start menu Method:**\n   - Right-click on the start menu.\n   - Choose \"Windows PowerShell (Admin)\" (for Windows 10) or \"Terminal (Admin)\" (for Windows 11).\n\n2. **Search and Launch Method:**\n   - Press the Windows key.\n   - Type \"PowerShell\" or \"Terminal\" (for Windows 11).\n   - Press `Ctrl + Shift + Enter` or Right-click and choose \"Run as administrator\" to launch it with administrator privileges.\n\n### Launch Command\n\n#### Stable Branch (Recommended)\n\n```ps1\nirm \"https://christitus.com/win\" | iex\n```\n#### Dev Branch\n\n```ps1\nirm \"https://christitus.com/windev\" | iex\n```\n\nIf you have Issues, refer to [Known Issues](https://winutil.christitus.com/knownissues/) or [Create Issue](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues)\n\n## 🎓 Documentation\n\n### [WinUtil Official Documentation](https://winutil.christitus.com/)\n\n### [YouTube Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UQZ5oQg8XA)\n\n### [ChrisTitus.com Article](https://christitus.com/windows-tool/)\n\n## 🛠️ Build \u0026 Develop\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e 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.\n\nGet a copy of the source code, this can be done using GitHub UI (`Code -\u003e Download ZIP`), or by cloning (downloading) the repo using git.\n\nIf git is installed, run the following commands under a PowerShell window to clone and move into project's directory:\n```ps1\ngit clone --depth 1 \"https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil.git\"\ncd winutil\n```\n\nTo build the project, run the Compile Script under a PowerShell window (admin permissions IS NOT required):\n```ps1\n.\\Compile.ps1\n```\n\nYou'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 :)\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e For more info on using WinUtil and how to develop for it, please consider reading [the Contribution Guidelines](https://winutil.christitus.com/contributing/), if you don't know where to start, or have questions, you can ask over on our [Discord Community Server](https://discord.gg/RUbZUZyByQ) and active project members will answer when they can.\n\n## 💖 Support\n- To morally and mentally support the project, make sure to leave a ⭐️!\n- EXE Wrapper for $10 @ https://www.cttstore.com/windows-toolbox\n\n## 💖 Sponsors\n\nThese are the sponsors that help keep this project alive with monthly contributions.\n\n\u003c!-- sponsors --\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/dwelfusius\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\u0026#x2F;\u0026#x2F;github.com\u0026#x2F;dwelfusius.png\" width=\"60px\" alt=\"User avatar: \" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/mews-se\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\u0026#x2F;\u0026#x2F;github.com\u0026#x2F;mews-se.png\" width=\"60px\" alt=\"User avatar: Martin Stockzell\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/jdiegmueller\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\u0026#x2F;\u0026#x2F;github.com\u0026#x2F;jdiegmueller.png\" width=\"60px\" alt=\"User avatar: Jason A.
