Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility
A PowerShell-based utility that automates application installation, applies reversible system tweaks, manages update behavior, and builds customized Windows 11 installation images
It takes care to curate a safe software space. Help us do more.
&
| + | WinGet Application Manager | Lets users check off desired applications and install, upgrade, or remove them in a single batch pass using Windows Package Manager, avoiding manual searches for individual download links. |
|---|---|---|
| + | Upgrade-All Applications | A single control detects and upgrades every previously installed, supported application to its latest version without opening each program’s own updater separately. |
| + | Chocolatey Fallback Support | Falls back to Chocolatey for application installation when Windows Package Manager is unavailable or fails on a system, providing an alternate package source automatically. |
| + | Reversible Tweak System | Applies performance, privacy, and telemetry tweaks through toggle switches, each paired with an undo action so only the selected changes can be reverted. |
| + | Essential and Advanced Tweak Presets | Groups safe, commonly recommended optimizations separately from deeper OS-level changes intended for power users, limiting the risk of applying disruptive changes unintentionally. |
| + | Reverted Tweak Detection | Checks on launch whether a previously applied tweak has since been reset by a system update or manual change, flagging configuration drift for re-application. |
| + | Win11 Creator | Mounts an official Windows 11 ISO and produces a customized image with AI features, telemetry components, and pre-installed apps removed, then exports it as a file or writes it directly to a USB drive. |
| + | Windows Update Behavior Control | Lets users restrict updates to security-only patches, delay installation, or disable Windows Update entirely, reducing unexpected downtime from unverified patches. |
| + | Configuration Export and Import | Saves selected tweak and application choices to a JSON configuration file that can be reapplied on other machines, reproducing the same setup across multiple systems. |

Notes
Because Winutil modifies system-wide settings, Chris Titus Tech recommends the following:
- Create a System Restore point before applying tweaks, since not every change is automatically backed up.
- Review the preset contents before applying a bundle, since a preset changes many settings at once rather than one at a time.
- Keep the tool updated by re-running the launch command, since it always fetches the current script rather than a locally cached version.
