Software installation made simple:

WinUtil makes it simple to install and upgrade your preferred programs using Winget, Microsoft’s official package manager.

Find and easily install all of your favorite software under the “Install” tab. Chris Titus Tech has compiled an extensive catalog of widely used programs, like browsers, messaging clients, media players, and system utilities.

All you have to do is walk through the different categories, select the applications you want to install or upgrade, and then click “Install/Upgrade Selected.” To top it all off, this tab allows you to update and uninstall applications with a single click, doing away with the need for manual installations altogether.

Optimize Your System:

Using the “Tweaks” option, you can customize Windows 11 by disabling unwanted features.

Under the “Essential Tweaks” section, you will find the following options:

To protect your privacy, you have the option to disable telemetry and activity history. By removing temporary files, you can make more room on your drive.

You can free up resources by uninstalling features like GameDVR or Hibernate. To get all the new features, upgrade from PowerShell 5 to PowerShell 7. Run the O&O ShutUp10++ debloat tool or perform a thorough disk cleanup.

Under the “Advanced Tweaks” section, the daring has access to even more options, such as deleting all programs from the Microsoft Store, disabling notifications, removing Microsoft Edge or OneDrive, or accessing the classic context menu. Use caution when adjusting these settings, as doing so may disable certain functionality.

Customize Windows 11:

Customize Windows 11 to suit your needs. If you’re someone who loves customization, you’re going to admire the “Customize Preferences” section. With a single click, turn on dark mode, open the old context menu, or hide Bing search from the Start menu.
