Windows Utility, short WinUtil, is a popular open source customization tool for Microsoft Windows devices. It is free and can be run from an elevated PowerShell prompt.

It is difficult to describe WinUtil in a short paragraph. It is a free tool to customize Windows. This is achieved through tweaks and the installation of software.

WinUtil offers the following core functionality:
  • Install popular software.
  • Debloat Windows using tweaks.
  • Troubleshoot issues.
  • Configure Windows Update.

The program runs from a PowerShell prompt. You do not have to download anything to run it. Here is how that works:
  • Open the Windows Start menu.
  • Type PowerShell.
  • Locate and activate "Run as administrator".
  • Select the Yes-option when the UAC prompt appears.
  • Run irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex by pasting the command and pressing the Enter-key.
This launches the WinUtil interface on the screen.

Tip: you can also download the latest PowerShell script from the GitHub repository instead.
