* feat: Add Beeper to Messaging applications This commit adds the Beeper desktop application to the list of installable packages in the "Messaging" category. The entry has been added to `config/applications.json` with the official download URL and the correct silent installation arguments. Fixes #3608 * Fix job failure: ensure excluded directory exists before processing This commit updates the Invoke-Preprocessing function to prevent workflow failures caused by missing excluded directories. Previously, the script would attempt to recursively list files in excluded paths, resulting in an error if a directory did not exist. The updated logic checks if the excluded path refers to a directory (ends with a backslash) and creates it if necessary before proceeding. This avoids "Cannot find path" errors and ensures smoother preprocessing, especially for jobs that depend on directory existence for exclusion logic. No changes are made for excluded files or wildcard patterns.
Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility
This utility is a compilation of Windows tasks I perform on each Windows system I use. It is meant to streamline installs, debloat with tweaks, troubleshoot with config, and fix Windows updates. I am extremely picky about any contributions to keep this project clean and efficient.
💡 Usage
Winutil must be run in Admin mode because it performs system-wide tweaks. To achieve this, run PowerShell as an administrator. Here are a few ways to do it:
-
Start menu Method:
- Right-click on the start menu.
- Choose "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" (for Windows 10) or "Terminal (Admin)" (for Windows 11).
-
Search and Launch Method:
- Press the Windows key.
- Type "PowerShell" or "Terminal" (for Windows 11).
- Press
Ctrl + Shift + Enteror Right-click and choose "Run as administrator" to launch it with administrator privileges.

🛠️ Build & Develop
Note
Winutil is a relatively large script, so it's split into multiple files which're combined into a single
.ps1file using a custom compiler. This makes maintaining the project a lot easier.
Get a copy of the source code, this can be done using GitHub UI (Code -> Download ZIP), or by cloning (downloading) the repo using git.
If git is installed, run the following commands under a PowerShell window to clone and move into project's directory:
git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil.git"
cd winutil
To build the project, run the Compile Script under a PowerShell window (admin permissions IS NOT required):
.\Compile.ps1
You'll see a new file named winutil.ps1, which's created by Compile.ps1 script, now you can run it as admin and a new window will popup, enjoy your own compiled version of WinUtil :)
