New Update Windows Maintenance Tool Updates Thread

[lokamoka820]

A powerful, all-in-one Windows maintenance toolkit built entirely in Batch & Powershell.
Designed for power users, sysadmins, and curious tinkerers – now smarter, safer, and fully offline-compatible.

Features​

• Run essential repair tools: SFC, DISM, CHKDSK
• Optimize SSD drives (TRIM/defrag compatible)
• Windows Update via winget (interactive selection)
• View and upgrade individual packages (choose by ID)
• Network diagnostics: ipconfig, routing table, DNS config, adapter reset
• Clean temp files, logs, and browser cache
• Save detailed reports to Desktop or custom folder:
  • System Info, Network Info, Driver List
• Registry tools (new and improved!):
  • Safe cleanup, backup, and corruption scan
  • Fully menu-driven registry cleanup:
    • List "safe to delete" entries (matches: IE40, IE4Data, DirectDrawEx, DXM_Runtime, SchedulingAgent)
    • Bulk delete all safe entries (now 100% stable)
    • Easy backup & restore with versioned .reg files
    • PowerShell-based logic for precision and compatibility
• All language/region support – no hardcoded adapter names
• No third-party dependencies required

Installation​

1. Start Start_Windows_Maintenance_Tool.bat file.
2. Follow the interactive menu.

Script output may appear in your system language (e.g. English, Danish, etc). This is normal.

v3.1.3 - Fixed "Advanced Registry Cleanup & Optimization"​

What's new:

• Major improvements to the Registry Cleanup menu:
• Registry backup is now automatically created (or reused if a recent backup exists) before deleting "safe to delete" registry keys.
• Checks for existing backups (within last 10 min) to avoid cluttering with too many backup files.
• Clearer, more robust deletion with user feedback and error handling.

Why:
These fixes improve safety (with automatic backups), user clarity, and overall reliability of the advanced registry cleaning options.

v5.0.3

Hotfixes​

• Reworked package action result tracking with explicit per-item result events (SUCCESS, SKIPPED, FAILED, CANCELLED) to prevent false 0/x completion states.
• Fixed update flow that could auto-rescan immediately after actions; auto-refresh now only runs when at least one package was actually updated successfully.
• Added restart-risk confirmation for EA/Electronic Arts updates before running, so users can cancel if they do not want a potential reboot.
• Improved retry handling: Not Applicable is now treated as SKIPPED, and known non-retry conditions no longer spawn unnecessary fallback windows.

Live Activity​

• Added real-time progress UI for package actions in the Updates header (progress bar + live done/success/skipped/failed counters).
• Added live per-package status (x/y, active package name, elapsed time) during update/install/uninstall actions.
• Added live winget output streaming into Activity Log, including progress percentage updates and keep-alive status lines while commands run.

Provider Update UX​

• Added visible console-window execution for pip updates so users can see real-time installer output.
• Extended visible-window update behavior to Chocolatey and Python package updates for better transparency and fewer silent failures.

• Community testers/reporters - especially users reporting update-flow and Activity Log issues (including EA restart-risk and low-resolution/UI behavior).
