Automation

Use Automation to run WinUtil from an exported configuration file.

WinUtil supports predefined presets that apply common configurations automatically:

  • Standard
  • Minimal
  • Advanced

Example:

& ([ScriptBlock]::Create((irm "https://christitus.com/win"))) -Preset Standard

To view exactly what each preset does, see: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/blob/main/config/preset.json

To create your own config file:

  1. Open WinUtil.
  2. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner.
  3. Choose Export.
  4. Save the exported JSON file.

Once you have exported a config, launch WinUtil with it using this command:

& ([ScriptBlock]::Create((irm "https://christitus.com/win"))) -Config "C:\Path\To\Config.json"

This is useful for:

  • Applying the same WinUtil configuration across multiple Windows 11 PCs
  • Reusing a known-good baseline after reinstalling Windows
  • Standardizing deployments for labs, workstations, or personal setups

Note

Run the command in an elevated PowerShell session so WinUtil can apply system-level changes.
