Would also be nice to see (personally don't use right now):

Hi @ChrisTitusTech, I really Love your videos and work, they always helped me. Here are a few Program Additions I would recommend-

1. BCUninstaller- Best uninstaller I have seen till now, can uninstall lot's of apps at the same time, can even uninstall microsoft store apps and even several bloatware apps preinstalled. Best part is that it is open source! It is available via both winget and chocolatey.
   Related Links- https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/bulk-crap-uninstaller
   https://winget.run/pkg/Klocman/BulkCrapUninstaller
   https://github.com/Klocman/Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller

2. QuickLook- Awesome utility and the first program I always install. As the name suggests, it previews all the usual files just by pressing the space bar so I don't have to install a bunch of media players, and support for other extensions can be achieved via available plugins (even preview MS Office files). Again open source 😄 and available on both winget and chocolatey.

   https://winget.run/pkg/QL-Win/QuickLook
   https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook

3. FxSound- An app which does a great job at providing surround sound, equalizer and other good audio effects, and yet manages to stay easy and user-friendly. Afterall who doesn't love to listen to music. Although this one is closed source, but knowing that it is completely free and also a really good app I thought I must share it. (Let me know if anyone has anything better than this, would love to try it out!)
   Related Links- https://winget.run/pkg/FxSoundLLC/FxSound
   https://www.fxsound.com/

4. ModernFlyouts- A great app which replaces the ugly and uncustomizable windows flyouts with custom modern looking flyouts which are highly customizable. Also open source and available to both winget and chocolatey. (Note- Just a Cosmetic program addition.)
   Related Links- https://winget.run/pkg/ModernFlyouts/ModernFlyouts
   https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/modernflyouts/0.9.3.09232021

5. KDE Connect- Highly useful, allows file sharing, clipboard sharing, etc. on the go. Again open source and also available to winget and chocolatey.
   Related Link- https://winget.run/pkg/KDE/KDEConnect
   https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/kdeconnect-kde

6. Harmonoid- Really nice open source Music Player. Also has youtube music integrated. Is available on winget.

@ChrisTitusTech Sure glad I thought of multiple repos for the applications.json file lol. Should only need to add the additional values to each button and boom. You could probably do a dropdown similar to the DNS tweak and that would make it fairly simple to modify the existing code to get the new commands.

[Arnab11]

@ChrisTitusTech My suggestion will be to add an option to remove onedrive and disable/enable windows defender. It will be really helpful

[d0x360]

A online gaming perf enhancement suggestion i have is a toggle to disable Nagle's Algorithm. Ive ffound there to be less sync issue in racing games and the last couple COD's, especially in warzone. Id say placebo except the teleporting issue with cars in racing titles (fh4/5, AC, ACC, NFS Heat/Payback) was rare when it was disabled as were kills in some FPS games where i died and the killcam didnt match where i really was.

Disable the Nagle

[nerdorican]

@ChrisTitusTech I would love to see mpv https://mpv.io/ in your toolbox. It is such a versatile and lightweight open-source media player with lua script plugin support.

[Akrista]

@ChrisTitusTech I saw that you added simplewall in the toolbox, maybe you could add portmaster too?

https://winget.run/pkg/Safing

[lightking813]

Put this under issues but finally found this location so gonna put it in the right place this time....
dotnet runtime 7.0 (since some applications requiring it, for connivence sake)
Ubisoft Connect (for games that are only available there)
intelliJ comunnity edition (for those that find that handy)

all of these are available through Chocolatey

[FanieVenter]

add clear dns cache feature

[Candyxxy]

add thunderbird and opera please :)

[Sytec28]

I would like to see BitviseSSH as well :)

[RedDot-3ND7355]

I made a ticket for it (MPO related) Feel free to check it out!

[matrixik]

https://github.com/debauchee/barrier - open source fork of Synergy (I'm using it for Win <=> Linux)

[EndangeredNayla]

opera

opera lol. u mean the browser that literally hacks its userbase

[padsalatushal]

chatterino

[Ducco]

Im missing uplay

[gt2416]

It would be nice to have PDFGear. Its the only free PDF software I found that has editing capabilities similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro. They don't even have a paid tier/app. Its completely free.
https://www.pdfgear.com/

[rexackermann]

I used winutils to update the programs today.And noticed the new stuff they were amazing.I saw neovim there so I looked for emacs and it wasn't there.Will you add it ??

Just wanted to mention the Nvidia telemetry app doesn't work anymore. Only nvcleaninstall will actually work BUT Nvidia made it so disabling telemetry can break certain games and using nvcleaninstall also means easy anti cheat will block any mp games using it from running because the driver is no longer considered official even though it's the same driver at the core.

[d0x360]

add clear dns cache feature

I wouldn't mind having an option to clear temp, superfetch, prefetch etc and possibly shader cache files.

I've found that clearing temp directories after a new driver install or game update can improve hitching (I assume shader comp or traversal stutters are what's effected) it doesn't work for everything, especially super broken games like everything from 2023 but it's been beneficial for well made titles that suddenly run poorly and sometimes even if rare it can help eliminate stutter. When Elden Ring launched like everyone I had insane stutter but I enabled rebar on the game (80% improvement) then I deleted the Nvidia and Windows shader cachen and everything in temp, rebooted and like black magic the game run at a flawless 4k60. My results were good enough that a follow-up digital foundry video was made talking about it. Patreon ftw!1

It wouldn't be bad to merge tiki one steam cleaner (like functions) into the app since tiki one is deprecated and while it works to an extent it doesn't seem to grab everything from every launcher locally installing the same files for every game. Anything that can free up space used by gaming related things without effecting game performance negatively would be excellent and shouldn't be difficult to implement into a "gaming" section that has on/off toggles along with file cleaners etc. Just a nice set of quick tweaks that make me feel good 😊 and also help teach users some basic system maintenance just by observation.

Disable Nagle and his algorithm for mp gaming too lol. Get out of here Nagle! I definitely get lower latency in online gaming with it disabled and leaving it disabled has never caused me issues anywhere.

I'd also love a way to enable rebar on a game without nvprofileinspector but that one is beyond the scope of the app and probably a bad idea considering if you don't understand what it is and games crash then figuring out why would be difficult.

Hey Chris, this tool is great! Thanks to you and everyone else who contributed. One program I always installed after setting up a new computer is Windows Firewall Control. It's my go to firewall for Windows and it would be super helpful to have it as a program install option in your tool.

[tdcook]

I'd suggest adding NanaZip. It's a fork of 7-zip with a (slightly) more modern UI, better Win11 integration, some additional format support and more security features. Personally I'd replace 7-zip with Nanazip completely but even just having it as an alternative would be great.

[Alexciao]

Hello! I'd suggest adding a few programs. FOSS programs are marked with * and I've linked their GitHub repos.

• *M2Team.NanaZip, a fork of 7zip that's integrated with the new context menu in W11.
• *Playnite.Playnite, a really cool program designed to be a game launcher for all libraries (for ex. Steam, Ubisoft, Battle.net and more). It supports community made plugins and themes.
• *Unigram, a Telegram client that follows W11's design guidelines. It's available on WinGet as an MS Store app, and its ID is 9N97ZCKPD60Q.
• Revolt.RevoltDesktop is an alternative to Discord.
• Guilded.Guilded is also an alternative to Discord.

[ChrisTitusTech]

Add These programs per #227

winget install --id=KDE.Okular -e
winget install --id=KDE.Kate -e
winget install --id=KDE.Kdenlive -e
winget install --id=KDE.KDEConnect -e
winget install --id=KDE.digikam -e
winget install --id=KDE.Krita -e
winget install -e --id Docker.DockerDesktop

[OMRI973]

pls add total commander

[K-Saikrishnan]

Hi @ChrisTitusTech, could we consider adding Twinkle Tray to the list of programs?

It is a great program to adjust external monitor brighteness since Windows doesn't natively have that functionality.
It is incredibly useful for multi-monitor setups especially when playing games and adjusting brightness on the fly.

Winget: winget install -e --id xanderfrangos.twinkletray
Chocolatey: choco install twinkle-tray

[YusufKhalifadev]

it'd be great to add github-cli too it's in winget

[mews-se]

Would love to see winget install HermannSchinagl.LinkShellExtension - a small but easy way to create symlinks (im a bad coder so i dont want to screw anything up by using a PR)

[exciar]

WizFile

[SteeveTouil]

Please add hwmonitor

[Theoldnation]

Flow launcher

[BritishSpuds]

Tixati is a really neat Torrenting program i use quite often, it would be amazing if you could add it to the programs list :)

[RedDot-3ND7355]

Feel free to add these! Full source disclosed in my git project :)
https://github.com/RedDot-3ND7355/MPO-GPU-FIX
#1552

Very simple toggles tbh :3

[rollopack]

Please add XnView Classic

[justgivemefile]

Please add a way to remove the MS Game Bar from windows! I remove the store everytime I run the utility, but I am always left wanting more removal powers!

I have been using linux for 2 years now (currently on Nobara), but, as you are aware, there are many games that can't be played on Linux. I wish I could ditch windows altogether, and probably will given what they are doing with Windows 11, But I still like my games..

[github-actions]

Closed due to inactivity

[botflakes]

Hey Chris,

Would like to see Tabby.sh (https://github.com/eugeny/tabby) added. Tabby is a modern interpretation of PuTTY and integrates some features of WinSCP. I use it for over a year now and its just awesome in my opinion.

SignalRGB would also make a great addition alongside OrcaSlicer, Autoruns, Driver Store Explorer and CapFrameX. Maybe ZenTimings too

[ModernTTY]

I have started making a PR for adding all of these expect the PR soon.

[jaug1337]

I think adding H2TestW would be a great addition to the toolbox.

h2testw is a program for checking the speed and memory capacity of flash drives, SD cards and HDD.

[og-mrk]

@jaug1337
Tracking program additions have been moved to #1782 Tracking Issue, will track this request of yours over there.

Also for anyone who's interested in requesting programs to be added to WinUtil, please do so over on #1782 Issue, Thanks in advance 😄

[og-mrk]

@jaug1337
I've looked into H2TestW Program, but couldn't download it using the Available link on their website, could it be Region Locked?

for now, and as far as I know, H2TestW can't be added to WinUtil, because there's no WinGet Package for it, and I couldn't add it to winget-pkgs repo (so you we can add it to WinUtil), because there's no Official Download Link for it.

[aut0-m8]

@ChrisTitusTech I would love to see mpv https://mpv.io/ in your toolbox. It is such a versatile and lightweight open-source media player with lua script plugin support.

https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/mpv

why is mpv still not added?
