Description
A Windows utility that provides a menu-driven interface to install common apps, apply system tweaks, and perform maintenance tasks through automated scripts.
WinUtil (often referred to as “Chris Titus Tech’s Windows Utility”) is an open-source Windows optimization and setup tool distributed primarily as a PowerShell script with a graphical, menu-based interface. It is designed to streamline post-installation configuration and routine system adjustments by bundling common actions into selectable modules. Core capabilities typically include installing and updating popular software via Windows package managers (e.g., winget and Chocolatey, depending on configuration), applying privacy and telemetry-related changes, toggling Windows features and services, adjusting performance and UI settings, and offering maintenance functions such as cleanup routines and system repair helpers. The project is hosted on GitHub and is intended for power users and IT-minded users who want repeatable, scriptable workflows for configuring Windows machines.
As a script-driven tool, its behavior depends on the selected options and the permissions granted, and it emphasizes transparency by allowing users to inspect the underlying PowerShell code.
