Expanding Tool to include other CLI installers. Winget is being unpredictable in 22H2 and I want to start diversifying the installs, while expanding its capabilities.

Request per a comment from - Stefan W: Lockhunter: https://lockhunter.com/ Rename Bulk Utility: https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/ (PowerToys has a similar, harder-to-use tool) Philips Hue Sync app: https://www.philips-hue.com/en-sg/explore-hue/propositions/entertainment/hue-sync Start10/Start11 (but that's a paid program), don't know if you'd want that. AutoHideMouseCursor: https://www.softwareok.com/?seite=Microsoft/AutoHideMouseCursor Disable Nvidia Telemetry (don't know if this is what your toolbox already does, but this is a program to disable, but I have also used PowerShell to remove the nvidia one, as it takes up a lot of space.): https://github.com/NateShoffner/Disable-Nvidia-Telemetry Rainmeter: https://www.rainmeter.net/

Would also be nice to see (personally don't use right now): Mouse Without Borders (I know Synergy is better, since it's cross OS, but also paid) VistaSwitcher: https://www.ntwind.com/software/alttabter/old-vistaswitcher.html (as an alternative to alt-tab)

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. Related Links- https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/quicklook (Chocolatey has updated version) 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 https://github.com/ModernFlyouts-Community/ModernFlyouts

  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. Related Links- https://winget.run/pkg/Harmonoid/Harmonoid https://github.com/harmonoid/harmonoid

@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 commented 1 year ago

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

d0x360 commented 1 year ago

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 commented 1 year ago

@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 commented 1 year ago

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

lightking813 commented 1 year ago

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 commented 1 year ago

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 commented 1 year ago

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 commented 1 year ago

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.

0scvr commented 1 year ago

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 commented 1 year ago

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 commented 1 year ago

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

ChrisTitusTech commented 1 year ago

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

can you add transmission torrent ?

Theoldnation commented 11 months ago

i would suggest to add emulationstation DE as frontend for retro games

sinistergrin26 commented 11 months ago

kindly add mpv player

FanieVenter commented 11 months ago

could you consider adding the extra stuff to install winget on a barebones system using one of your old articles https://christitus.com/setting-up-the-ultimate-windows-11/

FanieVenter commented 11 months ago

it would be nice to see blender on there

Rainmeter allows you to display customizable skins on your desktop, from hardware usage meters to fully functional audio visualizers. You are only limited by your imagination and creativity.

Rainmeter is open source software distributed free of charge under the terms of the GNU GPL v2 license.

winget install -e --id Rainmeter.Rainmeter

0x70369 commented 11 months ago

I don't know if someone else already suggested this, but I'll share it anyway. I think FFmpeg would be a nice addition to the Install section, I use it all the time (through Stacher [GUI for yt-dlp] and Zotify). Both regular and shared versions are available on winget. Below, I'll provide their IDs: Gyan.FFmpeg Gyan.FFmpeg.Shared It'd also be very convenient if the tool could automatically add the bin folder of FFmpeg to the system's path.

Noriaela commented 10 months ago

This has probably already been requested, but just in case:

24-hour time would be a useful addition.

fynks commented 10 months ago

@ChrisTitusTech please add peazip as an alternative to 7-zip and winrar

Nyxiad commented 10 months ago

It would be great to see FanControl in here. It's drastically better than any other PC cooling utility. If added, then it would close issues #444 and #961

TrueXPixells commented 10 months ago

@ChrisTitusTech can you add these too? battle net launcher discord canary (discord has a 3 release channels: stable ptb canary) mongodb ida decompiler valorant

MrDisguised commented 10 months ago

Valorant is a rootkit malware. Also it is useless in adding a "game". It is better to add game stores rather than adding a game.

@ChrisTitusTech Please add these applications -

Shotcut Video editor mpv video player olive video editor openshot video editor mariadb mysql msi afterburner and rivatuner

Thanks :D

TrueXPixells commented 10 months ago

@ChrisTitusTech pls add nasm assembler (note: the installer doesnt add path variable) edit: add qemu too

Hello, There's a program that I use to avoid certain games does not support dual monitor properly, example: Astroneer, Sea of Thieves.

The program is called Dual Monitor Tools, allows to lock the cursor to a specific screen and so much more.

For that I found it on winget

winget install --id=GNE.DualMonitorTools -e

If more people find it useful, can you add it to the toolkit? thanks :D

PilaScat commented 8 months ago

parsec and tailscale would be perfect!

OMRI973 commented 8 months ago

pls add total commander

K-Saikrishnan commented 7 months ago

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 commented 5 months ago

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