UltimateWindowsFix

A personal Windows toolkit — fork of ChrisTitusTech/winutil for debloating, configuring, and fixing common Windows issues.

About

This is a personal fork. It is not a separate product. All the heavy engineering belongs to Chris Titus and the upstream winutil contributors.

Who	Maintained by Gyanesh Samanta as a personal toolkit.
What	A PowerShell-driven utility that bundles install, tweak, fix, and updates panels for Windows.
When	Forked off ChrisTitusTech/winutil — pulled in for personal use across reformats and fresh setups.
Where	Runs locally on any Windows 10 / 11 box; one-liner via irm + iex in an admin PowerShell.
Why	I rebuild Windows machines often. This is the script I trust to make a fresh box mine in 5 min.

The Story

Every Windows reformat used to be a half-day ritual — uninstalling Candy Crush, hunting checkbox tweaks across five Settings pages, copy-pasting winget install lines from old gists. The first time I ran ChrisTitusTech/winutil end-to-end and watched it batch-install my whole stack, kill telemetry, and surface MicroWin in one window, the ritual collapsed into a coffee break.

I forked it for two reasons. First, pinning — I wanted a known-good snapshot I could run during a reformat without depending on whatever upstream main happens to be that day. Second, personalization — preset selections and tweaks tuned to how I actually use my machines. The fork stays close to upstream; this isn't a rewrite, it's a bookmark with a few sticky notes.

If you're not me, use upstream. It's better maintained, better documented, and gets new features first.

Tech Stack

• PowerShell 5.1+ — primary scripting surface.
• WPF / XAML — the UI defined under xaml/.
• winget / Chocolatey — package backends invoked under the hood.
• Pester — test harness in pester/.
• Build: Compile.ps1 stitches functions/, xaml/, and config/ into a single distributable script.
