### Battery drains too fast
If you're using a laptop or tablet and find your battery drains too fast, please try the below troubleshooting steps, and report the results back to the Winutil community.
1. **Check Battery Health:**
- Press `Windows Key`+`X` and select _PowerShell (Admin)_ in Windows 10, or `Windows Terminal (Admin)` in Windows 11.
- Run the following command to generate a battery report:
```powershell
powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery_report.html"
```
- Open the generated HTML report to review information about battery health and usage. A battery with poor health may hold less charge, discharge faster, or cause other issues.
2. **Review Power Settings:**
- Open the Settings app, and go to _System_ > _Power & sleep_.
- Adjust power plan settings based on your preferences and usage patterns.
- Click on _Additional power settings_ to access advanced power settings that may help.
3. **Identify Power-Hungry Apps:**
- Right-click on the taskbar and select _Task Manager_.
- Navigate to the _Processes_ tab to identify applications with high CPU or memory usage.
- Consider reconfiguring, closing, disabling, or uninstalling applications that use a lot of resources.
4. **Update Drivers:**
- Visit your device manufacturer's website or use Windows Update to check for driver updates.
- Ensure graphics, chipset, and other essential drivers are up to date.
5. **Check for Windows Updates:**
- Open the Settings app, and go to _Update & Security_ > _Windows Update_.
- Check for and install any available updates for your operating system.
6. **Reduce Screen Brightness:**
- Open the Settings app, and go to _System_ > _Display_.
- Adjust screen brightness based on your preferences and lighting conditions.
7. **Enable Battery Saver:**
- Open the Settings app, and go to _System_ > _Battery_.
- Turn on _Battery saver_ to limit background activity and conserve power.
8. **Check Power Usage in Settings:**
- Open the Settings app, and go to _System_ > _Battery_ > _Battery usage by app_.
- Review the list of apps and their power usage. Disable or uninstall any you don't need.
9. **Check Background Apps:**
- Open the Settings app, and go to _Privacy_ > _Background apps_.
- Disable or uninstall unnecessary apps running in the background.
10. **Use `powercfg` for Analysis:**
- Press `Windows Key`+`X` and select _PowerShell (Admin)_ in Windows 10, or `Windows Terminal (Admin)` in Windows 11.
- Run the following command to analyze energy usage and generate a report:
```powershell
powercfg /energy /output "C:\energy_report.html"
```
- Open the generated HTML report to identify energy consumption patterns.
11. **Review Event Logs:**
- Open Event Viewer by searching for it in the Start menu.
- Navigate to _Windows Logs_ > _System_.
- Look for events with the source _Power-Troubleshooter_ to identify power-related events. These may highlight battery, input power, and other issues.
12. **Check Wake-up Sources:**
- Press `Windows Key`+`X` and select _PowerShell (Admin)_ in Windows 10, or `Windows Terminal (Admin)` in Windows 11.
- Use the command `powercfg /requests` to identify processes preventing sleep.
- Use the command `powercfg /waketimers` to view active wake timers.
- Check Task Scheduler to see if any of the discovered processes are scheduled to start on boot or at regular intervals.
13. **Advanced Identification of Power-Hungry Apps:**
- Open Resource Monitor from the Start menu.
- Navigate to the _CPU_, _Memory_, _Network_, and other tabs to identify processes with high resource usage.
- Consider reconfiguring, closing, disabling, or uninstalling applications that use a lot of resources.
14. **Disable Activity History:**
- Open the Settings app, and go to _Privacy_ > _Activity history_.
- Turn off _Let Windows collect my activities from this PC_.
15. **Prevent Network Adapters From Waking PC:**
- Open Device Manager by searching for it in the Start menu.
- Locate your network adapter, right-click, and go to _Properties_.
- Under the _Power Management_ tab, uncheck the option that allows the device to wake the computer.
16. **Review Installed Applications:**
- Manually review installed applications by searching for _Add or remove programs_ in the Start menu.
- Check settings/preferences of individual applications for power-related options.
- Uninstall unnecessary or problematic software.
These troubleshooting steps are generic, but should help in most situations. You should have these key takeaways:
- Battery health is the most significant limiter on your device's runtime. A battery in poor health usually cannot be made to last like it used to, simply by closing some applications. Consider replacing your battery.
- Background applications that use CPU and memory, make lots of or large network requests, read/write to disk frequently, or that keep your PC awake when it could be conserving energy are the next major concern. Avoid installing programs you don't need, only use programs you trust, and configure applications to use as little power and run as infrequently as possible.
- Windows performs a lot of tasks that may affect battery life by default. Changing settings, stopping scheduled tasks, and disabling features can help the system stay in lower power states to conserve battery.
- Bad chargers, inconsistent power input, and high temperatures will cause batteries to degrade and discharge faster. Use trusted high-quality chargers, ensure input power is steady, clean any fans or airflow ports, and keep the battery/PC cool.

## Win11 Creator Architecture
The **Win11 Creator** is a specialized subsystem within Winutil that creates customized Windows 11 ISOs. It operates independently from the main package installation and tweak system.
### Win11 Creator Components
**Core Functions** (`functions/private/`):
- `Invoke-WinUtilISO.ps1`: Main orchestrator containing all Win11 Creator functions
- `Invoke-WinUtilISOBrowse`: ISO file selection dialog
- `Invoke-WinUtilISOMountAndVerify`: Validates and mounts ISO, verifies it's official Windows 11
- `Invoke-WinUtilISOModify`: Launches modification in background runspace
- `Invoke-WinUtilISOExport`: Handles ISO and USB export
- `Invoke-WinUtilISOCheckExistingWork`: Recovers incomplete work sessions
- `Invoke-WinUtilISOCleanAndReset`: Cleans up temp directories and resets UI
- `Invoke-WinUtilISOScript.ps1`: Applies modifications to mounted install.wim
- Removes provisioned AppX packages (40+ bloatware apps)
- Injects drivers (optional) from current system
- Removes OneDrive setup files
- Applies offline registry tweaks (hardware bypass, privacy, telemetry, OOBE)
- Deletes telemetry scheduled task definitions
- Pre-stages setup scripts from autounattend.xml
- Removes unused Windows editions
- Cleans component store via DISM
### Win11 Creator Data Flow
```
User selects official Windows 11 ISO
Invoke-WinUtilISOBrowse → OpenFileDialog, validates file size
Invoke-WinUtilISOMountAndVerify
├─ Mount ISO via Mount-DiskImage
├─ Verify install.wim or install.esd exists
├─ Check for "Windows 11" in image metadata
├─ Extract available editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc.)
└─ Store ISO path, drive letter, WIM path, image info in $sync
User optionally enables Driver Injection checkbox
Invoke-WinUtilISOModify (runs in background runspace)
├─ Create work directory: ~WinUtil_Win11ISO_[timestamp]
├─ Copy ISO contents to disk (~5-6 GB)
├─ Mount install.wim at selected edition/index
├─ Invoke-WinUtilISOScript:
│ ├─ Remove 40+ bloat AppX packages
│ ├─ Export and inject drivers (if enabled)
│ ├─ Remove OneDrive setup
│ ├─ Load offline registry hives
│ ├─ Apply 50+ registry tweaks (hardware bypass, privacy, telemetry, OOBE, etc.)
│ ├─ Delete telemetry scheduled task files
│ ├─ Pre-stage setup scripts from autounattend.xml to C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\
│ └─ Unload registry hives
├─ DISM /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase (saves 300-800 MB)
├─ Dismount and save modified install.wim (~10+ minutes, slowest step)
├─ Export selected edition only (removes all other editions, saves 1-2 GB each)
├─ Dismount source ISO
└─ Report completion, enable export options
Invoke-WinUtilISOExport (user chooses output)
├─ Option 1: Save as ISO
│ ├─ Build bootable ISO via oscdimg.exe (BIOS/UEFI dual-boot)
│ └─ Output: Win11_Modified_[date].iso (2.5-3.5 GB)
└─ Option 2: Write to USB
├─ Format USB as GPT
├─ Create 512 MB EFI partition
├─ Copy modified ISO contents
└─ Output: Bootable USB (minimum 8 GB)
Invoke-WinUtilISOCleanAndReset (optional)
└─ Delete temp working directory (~10-15 GB)
└─ Reset UI to initial state
```
### Win11 Creator Validation & Safety
**ISO Validation**:
- Only accepts official Microsoft Windows 11 ISOs
- Validates presence of install.wim or install.esd
- Checks image metadata for "Windows 11" string
- Rejects custom, modified, or non-Windows 11 ISOs
**Work Session Recovery**:
- Auto-detects incomplete work from previous sessions
- Allows resuming Step 4 (export) without re-running Steps 1-3
- Prevents redundant modifications
**Modification Safety**:
- All registry changes are documented in script (reversible)
- Original ISO never modified; only working copy
- Logged to `WinUtil_Win11ISO.log` for debugging
- DISM handles image dismount with automatic cleanup on error
### Win11 Creator Registry Tweaks
The `Invoke-WinUtilISOScript` function applies **50+ offline registry tweaks**:
**Hardware Bypass**:
- TPM 2.0 check bypass
- Secure Boot requirement bypass
- CPU compatibility bypass
- RAM requirement bypass
- Storage check bypass
**Privacy & Telemetry**:
- Disable advertising ID
- Disable tailored experiences
- Disable input personalization
- Disable speech online privacy
- Disable cloud content suggestions
- Disable app suggestion subscriptions
- Remove CEIP, Appraiser, WaaSMedic, etc.
**OOBE & Setup**:
- Enable local account setup
- Skip Microsoft account requirement
- Dark mode by default
- Empty taskbar and Start Menu
**Post-Setup Installations**:
- Prevent DevHome auto-installation
- Prevent new Outlook Mail app installation
- Prevent Teams auto-installation
**System Features**:
- Disable BitLocker and device encryption
- Disable Chat icon from taskbar
- Disable OneDrive folder backup
- Disable Copilot
- Disable Windows Update during OOBE (re-enabled at first login)
### Driver Injection Feature
**Optional Enhancement**: When enabled, exports all drivers from the running system and injects them into both:
- `install.wim` (main OS image)
- `boot.wim` index 2 (Windows Setup PE environment)
**Use Case**: Enables offline installation on systems with missing drivers.
### Disk Space Requirements
- **Temporary working directory**: ~10-15 GB
- **Original ISO**: 4-6 GB
- **Modified ISO**: 2.5-3.5 GB
- **Total needed**: ~25 GB for safe operation

## Registry Changes
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
You can find information about the registry on [Wikipedia](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_Registry) and [Microsoft's Website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/registry).

The utility provides three distinct settings for managing Windows updates: Default (Out of Box) Settings, Security (Recommended) Settings, and Disable ALL Updates (NOT RECOMMENDED!). Each setting offers a different approach to handling updates, catering to various user needs and preferences.
---
title: Updates
weight: 6
---
Winutil provides three update modes so you can choose how aggressively Windows Update is managed on your system:
- **Default (Out of Box) Settings**: Restores standard Windows Update behavior
- **Security (Recommended) Settings**: Prioritizes stability while still receiving security updates
- **Disable ALL Updates**: Turns off Windows Update entirely and should only be used with extreme caution
### Default (Out of Box) Settings
- **Description**: This setting retains the default configurations that come with Windows, ensuring no modifications are made.
- **Functionality**: It will remove any custom Windows update settings previously applied.
- **Note**: If update errors persist, reset all updates in the configuration tab to restore all Microsoft Update Services to their default settings, reinstalling them from their servers.
- **What it does**: Restores the default Windows Update configuration.
- **Best for**: Systems where you want Windows to manage updates normally.
- **Notes**: This removes custom update settings previously applied by Winutil. If update errors continue, use the reset option in the **Config** tab to restore Microsoft Update services to their default state.
### Security (Recommended) Settings
- **Description**: This is the recommended setting for all computers.
- **Update Schedule**:
- **Feature Updates**: Delays feature updates by 365 days to avoid potential bugs and instability.
- **Security Updates**: Installs security updates 4 days after their release to ensure system protection against pressing security flaws.
- **Rationale**:
- **Feature Updates**: Often introduce new features and bugs; delaying these updates minimizes the risk of system disruptions.
- **Security Updates**: Essential for patching critical security vulnerabilities. Delaying them by a few days allows for verification of stability and compatibility without leaving the system exposed for extended periods.
- **What it does**: Applies a more conservative update strategy designed for most users.
- **Feature updates**: Delayed by **365 days** to reduce the chance of disruption from major Windows changes.
- **Security updates**: Delayed by **4 days** to allow time for early issues to surface while still keeping the system protected.
- **Why use it**: This mode offers the best balance between security and stability, which is why it is the recommended option for most PCs.
### Disable ALL Updates (NOT RECOMMENDED!)
- **Description**: This setting completely disables all Windows updates.
- **Suitability**: May be appropriate for systems used for specific purposes that do not require active internet browsing.
- **Warning**: Disabling updates significantly increases the risk of the system being hacked or infected due to the lack of security patches.
- **Note**: It is strongly advised against using this setting due to the heightened security risks.
- **What it does**: Disables all Windows updates.
- **Best for**: Highly controlled or special-purpose systems where updates must remain off temporarily.
- **Warning**: This leaves the system without security patches and significantly increases security risk.
- **Recommendation**: Avoid this mode unless you fully understand the tradeoffs and have a specific reason to use it.

title: Win11 Creator

## Using Winutil's Win11 Creator
Winutil includes a built-in **Win11 Creator** tool that lets you take an official Windows 11 ISO and produce a customized, debloated version. The resulting image can remove telemetry, bypass hardware requirement checks, and enable local account setup out of the box. You can export the result as a new ISO file or write it directly to a USB drive.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> You need an **official Windows 11 ISO** from [Microsoft's website](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11) before starting. Custom, modified, or non-official ISOs are not supported. The process uses ~1015 GB of temporary disk space, so make sure you have room.
---
### Step 1 — Select Your Official Windows 11 ISO
1. Open Winutil and go to the **Win11 Creator** tab.
2. Click **Browse** and select your **official Windows 11 ISO file** from Microsoft (must be 4 GB or larger). Custom or modified ISOs are not supported.
3. The file path and size will appear on screen once selected.
---
### Step 2 — Mount & Verify
1. Click **Mount & Verify ISO**.
2. Winutil mounts the ISO, checks for a valid `install.wim` or `install.esd`, and reads the available editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, etc.).
3. Once verified, select your desired **edition** from the dropdown — Pro is selected by default if available.
> [!NOTE]
> This step takes around 1030 seconds depending on your drive speed.
---
### Step 3 — Run the Modification
Click **Run Windows ISO Modification and Creator** to start the customization process. Winutil will:
**App & Component Removal:**
- **Remove 40+ bloat apps** — Clipchamp, Teams, Copilot, Dev Home, new Outlook, Bing apps, Solitaire, and more
- **Delete OneDrive setup** from the image
**System Customization:**
- **Bypass hardware checks** — removes TPM, Secure Boot, CPU, RAM, and storage requirement enforcement so the ISO installs on unsupported hardware
- **Enable local account setup** — injects an `autounattend.xml` that skips the Microsoft account screen during OOBE
- **Disable BitLocker and device encryption** — removes startup overhead
- **Disable Chat icon** — removes chat taskbar button
- **Strip unused editions** — keeps only your selected edition, saving 12 GB per removed edition
- **Clean the component store** — runs DISM cleanup to reclaim another 300800 MB
**Privacy & Telemetry Tweaks:**
- **Disable telemetry** — advertising ID, tailored experiences, input personalization, speech online privacy
- **Disable cloud content features** — app suggestions, Microsoft Store recommendations
- **Remove telemetry scheduled tasks** — CEIP, Appraiser, WaaSMedic, and others
- **Disable OneDrive folder backup** — prevents automatic backups to cloud
- **Prevent DevHome and Outlook post-setup installation**
- **Prevent Teams installation** — blocks auto-install after OOBE
- **Prevent new Outlook Mail app installation**
- **Disable Windows Update during OOBE** — re-enabled automatically on first login
- **Disable Copilot and search box suggestions**
**Optional: Driver Injection**
- If enabled, injects all drivers from your current system into the install.wim and boot.wim — useful for offline installations on machines with missing drivers. This is an optional checkbox in Step 3.
A live log shows progress as each step completes. This stage usually takes **1030 minutes** depending on disk speed. The WIM dismount near the end is the slowest part, so do not close Winutil while it is running.
---
### Step 4 — Export Your Result
Once modification is complete, choose how to save your image:
{{< tabs >}}
{{< tab name="Save as ISO" selected=true >}}
1. Click **Save as an ISO File**.
2. Choose a save location (defaults to your Desktop as `Win11_Modified_yyyyMMdd.iso`).
3. Winutil builds a dual BIOS/UEFI bootable ISO using `oscdimg.exe`.
> [!NOTE]
> `oscdimg.exe` (part of the Windows ADK) is required. If it's not found, Winutil will attempt to install it automatically via winget. If that fails, install it manually: `winget install -e --id Microsoft.OSCDIMG`
**Typical output size:** 2.53.5 GB (down from 56 GB original)
{{< /tab >}}
{{< tab name="Write to USB" >}}
1. Click **Write Directly to a USB Drive**.
2. Select your USB drive from the dropdown (click **Refresh** if it doesn't appear).
3. Click **Erase & Write to USB** and confirm the warning — **all data on the drive will be permanently erased**.
4. Winutil formats the drive as GPT with a 512 MB EFI partition and copies the modified Windows files.
> [!WARNING]
> Double-check you have selected the correct drive before confirming. This operation cannot be undone.
**Minimum USB size:** 8 GB recommended. Writing takes 1020 minutes.
{{< /tab >}}
{{< /tabs >}}
---
### Step 5 — Clean Up (Optional)
Click **Clean & Reset** to delete the temporary working directory (~1015 GB) and return the tool to its initial state, ready for a new ISO. You will be asked to confirm before anything is deleted.
---
### What the Modified ISO Does Differently
When you install Windows 11 from your modified ISO:
- **No Microsoft account required** — create a local account directly during setup
- **No hardware checks** — installs on machines without TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, or supported CPUs
- **Dark mode enabled by default**
- **Empty taskbar and Start Menu** — no pinned apps, Chat icon removed
- **Windows Update disabled during OOBE** — automatically re-enabled on first login to prevent setup interruptions
- **BitLocker disabled** — removes startup overhead on first boot
---
### Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| "install.wim not found" | Not a valid Windows 11 ISO — download a fresh one from Microsoft |
| "oscdimg.exe not found" | Run `winget install -e --id Microsoft.OSCDIMG` then retry |
| USB drive not showing up | Plug it in, wait a few seconds, then click **Refresh** |
| Modification seems stuck | The WIM dismount step is slow — wait at least 10 minutes before assuming it's frozen |
| "Access Denied" error | Make sure Winutil is running as Administrator |

Applies WinUtil modifications to a mounted Windows 11 install.wim image.
.DESCRIPTION
Performs the following operations against an already-mounted WIM image:
Removes AppX bloatware and OneDrive, optionally injects all drivers exported from
the running system into install.wim and boot.wim (controlled by the
-InjectCurrentSystemDrivers switch), applies offline registry tweaks (hardware
bypass, privacy, OOBE, telemetry, update suppression), deletes CEIP/WU
scheduled-task definition files, and optionally writes autounattend.xml to the ISO
root and removes the support\ folder from the ISO contents directory.
1. Removes provisioned AppX bloatware packages via DISM.
2. Deletes Microsoft Edge program files.
3. Removes OneDriveSetup.exe from the system image.
4. Loads offline registry hives (COMPONENTS, DEFAULT, NTUSER, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM)
and applies the following tweaks:
- Bypasses hardware requirement checks (CPU, RAM, SecureBoot, Storage, TPM).
- Disables sponsored-app delivery and ContentDeliveryManager features.
- Enables local-account OOBE path (BypassNRO).
- Writes autounattend.xml to the Sysprep directory inside the WIM and,
optionally, to the ISO/USB root so Windows Setup picks it up at boot.
- Disables reserved storage.
- Disables BitLocker device encryption.
- Hides the Chat (Teams) taskbar icon.
- Removes Edge uninstall registry entries.
- Disables OneDrive folder backup (KFM).
- Disables telemetry, advertising ID, and input personalization.
- Blocks post-install delivery of DevHome, Outlook, and Teams.
- Disables Windows Copilot.
- Disables Windows Update during OOBE.
5. Deletes unwanted scheduled-task XML definition files (CEIP, Appraiser, etc.).
6. Removes the support\ folder from the ISO contents directory (if supplied).
All setup scripts embedded in the autounattend.xml <Extensions><File> nodes are
written directly into the WIM at their target paths under C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\
to ensure they survive Windows Setup stripping unrecognised-namespace XML elements
from the Panther copy of the answer file.
Mounting and dismounting the WIM is the responsibility of the caller
(e.g. Invoke-WinUtilISO).
