A modern, enterprise-grade Windows optimizer, cleaner & debloater — powered by Rust, React and PowerShell.
⚠️ Warning: This tool modifies your system — it removes apps, edits the registry and deletes files. Review the console output before applying anything — the app applies changes directly by default and auto-elevates on start.
Win-Optimizer-Pro is a flat, enterprise-style desktop app that automates cleanup, debloating, tweaking and system hardening on Windows — so you don't have to click through ten different settings apps. It combines the deep feature set of the classic Chris Titus WinUtil with modern power-user tools, wrapped in a clean teal/slate UI with light & dark mode.
Designed for Windows 10 / Windows 11.

The fastest way — one line, straight from GitHub, no install needed:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karan5028ji/Win-Optimizer-Pro/main/run.ps1 | iexPrefer a proper install (per-machine, Start Menu + Desktop shortcuts)? Grab the Win-Optimizer-Pro_2.1.7_x64-setup.exe from the Releases page.
Or install with winget:
winget install karan5028ji.WinOptimizerProReleases are built automatically by CI on tags — just push a
v*tag. The app checks for updates on startup and installs them in the background (auto-updater).
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| 🐛 Boot Guard list actually populates | v2.1.6 shipped the Boot Guard tab with a parser that silently dropped every row, so the tab rendered empty even though the engine found entries. The row parser now reads the log format correctly — the registry/scheduled-task IDs and commands contain ` |
| 🧪 Regression tests for the parser | npm test runs 10 node --test cases covering pipe-in-ID, pipe-in-command, CRLF rows, junk lines and malformed values, so this class of bug cannot silently return. |
| 🏷️ Sidebar version syncs itself | The footer version was a hardcoded string that drifted on every bump. It is now injected from tauri.conf.json at build time, so bumping the version in one place updates the UI, the installer name and the updater manifest together. |
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| 👻 Deep Boot Guard | New Boot Guard tab — the Ghost Startup Inspector scans 4 boot layers Task Manager hides: registry Run keys (HKCU + HKLM 64/32-bit), hidden Startup-folder shortcuts, scheduled tasks with logon/boot triggers and auto-start background services (VMs, daemons, updaters) |
| 🎯 Impact ranking | Every entry gets a RAM estimate + High / Medium / Low impact badge from a known-launcher database (Docker ~2.6 GB, Steam/Epic ~350 MB, …). Audio drivers, Windows Security and kernel services are auto-whitelisted as Safe |
| ⚡ 1-Click "Instant 5-Second Boot" | Creates a System Restore point + JSON backup, then disables every non-essential heavy launcher in one go — keeps drivers & security untouched. Restore from backup re-enables everything |
| 🎛️ Per-entry toggle | Enable/disable any ghost item (registry, task, service, folder shortcut) without uninstalling |

| 🏆 Published to winget | Now installable via winget install karan5028ji.WinOptimizerPro — PR merged into microsoft/winget-pkgs |
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| 🛑 Reliable Stop button | Optimizer processes now run inside a Windows Job Object that kills the whole tree (including escaped installers) on close — Stop actually stops, and the status bar no longer gets stuck in "Running". |
| 🚀 Snappier console | Console renders only the last 300 log lines instead of all 4,000, so long cleanup runs stay responsive. |
| ⚙️ Context menu toggle fixed | The Sidebar context-menu switch now reflects the real on-disk state and reliably toggles desktop/mobile context menus. |
| 🧹 Cleaner cleanup | Locked temp files are taken ownership of and swept on a second pass instead of being left behind; "already empty" false alarms removed. |
| 🏷️ Consistent naming | Branding fully renamed from the old pc-optimizer / PC Optimizer to Win-Optimizer-Pro (window title, installer, PS1 headers, logs, debug env). |
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| ⚡ Blazing-fast temp cleanup | Temp / Windows Temp / Prefetch now clean via a native robocopy /mir sweep instead of a slow cmd for /f loop. 20,000 files clear in ~13s (was 60s+). Locked files are skipped safely and ownership is taken only when something actually survives the first pass. |
| 📈 Smooth live progress | The status bar now climbs percent-by-percent while folders are cleaning — progress is streamed from robocopy's own output with zero filesystem contention. |
| 🛡️ Bulletproof run supervision | optimizer:done now always fires, even when a background process keeps the console pipe open — the UI can never get stuck in "running" with dead buttons. Run-sequence IDs stop stale completions after Stop + re-run. |
| 🎨 Fresh app icon | New application icon propagated to the exe, taskbar, window, Start Menu, Desktop and installer. |
| 🖥️ UI responsiveness | Console output is batched to one paint per ~80 ms, so heavy logs (winget/DISM/sfc) no longer freeze the interface. |
| 🔧 Engine hardening | Weighted progress phases, monotonic percent math, safe enumeration on locked folders (-1 never leaks into logs). |
| Category | What it does |
|---|---|
| Install Software | Install, upgrade or uninstall popular apps through WinGet; bulk "Upgrade All" |
| Debloater | Browse real installed bloatware by category, remove / restore apps individually (optional System Restore point) |
| System Tweaks | Privacy & performance tweaks — telemetry, background apps, hibernation, fast startup, Game Bar, Cortana, tips, Bing results. Presets: Standard / Minimal / Advanced |
| Tuning | DNS presets, Windows Update policy, power plans, optional Windows Features, one-click Fixes (DISM etc.), OpenSSH server, legacy control panels, undo tweaks |
| Win11 ISO | Create a bootable Windows 11 ISO from an existing install |
| Security | Anti-brick pre-flight gate, elevation handling, dry-run by default |
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| 🛡️ Anti-Brick Pre-Flight | Verifies disk space (≥20 GB), battery (≥30% or charging) and admin rights before heavy operations (DISM, ISO, deep debloat, bulk installs). Auto-aborts safely if any check fails |
| ⚡ 1-Click Profiles | Gamer, Privacy/Stealth and Developer profiles — one click applies the full stack incl. apps |
| 📂 Config Import/Export | Save your choices (apps, tweaks, DNS, power, updates, features, SSH) as a shareable JSON profile in Documents\Win-Optimizer-Pro |
| 🎛️ Startup Manager | See & control everything that launches at boot — registry Run keys and Startup folders, with Enable/Disable |
| 👻 Deep Boot Guard | Ghost Startup Inspector — 4-level scan (registry, folders, logon scheduled tasks, auto-start services) with RAM impact badges, a Safe-driver whitelist, per-entry toggles and a 1-click "Instant 5-Second Boot" preset with restore-point + backup undo |
| 🖱️ Win11 Context Menu | Toggle the classic Win10-style right-click menu |
| 🎨 Registry Transparency | Hover-tooltips on every tweak show the exact registry key being changed |
| 🌗 Light & Dark Mode | Flat teal/slate design system with a one-click theme toggle |

v2.1.3 verified against the cleanup & progress rework on the production build:
- 20,000-file temp folder cleared in ~13 seconds with a monotonic 0→100% status-bar climb (44 progress frames, no frozen UI)
- Locked-file fallback:
takeown/icaclsruns only on survivors; locked items are reported and safely skipped - Nested trees (sub-folder + deep paths) fully cleaned in the first pass
- Dry-run mode deletes nothing; non-admin preview is read-only
- Empty folders, missing folders and access-denied enumeration handled cleanly
- Full
optimizer.ps1 -DryRun -Cleanphase flow (temp + network) exits clean with weighted progress
