To create a config file:
|
2026-03-06 14:28:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2026-03-11 15:24:46 +00:00
|
|
|
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:
|

|
|
|
```powershell
|
2026-03-06 14:28:34 +00:00
|
|
|
& ([ScriptBlock]::Create((irm "https://christitus.com/win"))) -Config "C:\Path\To\Config.json" -Run
|
2026-01-14 20:28:45 +02:00
|
|
|
```
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
