For the best experience of Useful Windows, use Windows 10/11 Enterprise LTSC.
A set of scripts & tweaks to make your Windows experience!
Use Code -> Download ZIP to download Useful Windows.
This repository has the stuff all you need for customizing your Windows installation without some shenanigans, from installing WinGet for downloading programs without Microsoft Store and even a web browser, to disabling the pesky gaming-overlay
link pop-up you see in LTSC editions of Windows.
In fact, I even use this repository whenever I re-install Windows.
Files have been organized into three places:
UWPMediaCodecs
- Improves media playback support for UWP applications
- Recommended for users who tend to like Microsoft's UWP media apps such as Photos, or the new Media Player
UWPWindowsEssentials
- Replaces some Win32 apps with their new respective UWP apps
- Really needed if you work on a company or doing productivity
WinGetNative
- It installs WinGet without Microsoft Store, useful enough for new Windows 10/11 LTSC installations.
- WinGet does somehow support installation of UWP apps, so you might install this first before installing other UWP apps.
WinTweaks32
- Includes restoring the functionality of Windows Photo Viewer, optimizing drives by disabling DOS filename creations, etc.
- Note that the registry files might cause your system to break if you have heavily changed something in the registry.
