Win-Optimizer
This skill provides a structured workflow for Windows maintenance and startup optimization.
Workflow
- •Scan for Bloat: Execute scripts/analyze_system.ps1 and scripts/analyze_privacy.ps1 to collect data on startup items, active services, privacy settings, and temp file sizes.
- •Analyze and Categorize: Process the script output and categorize items:
- •Known Offenders: Docker, LGHUB, PC Manager, Edge AutoLaunch, OneDrive, Widgets.
- •Privacy/Telemetry: DiagTrack (Telemetry), Advertising ID, Background Apps.
- •High Impact: Any item consuming significant CPU/Memory or slowing down boot.
- •System Critical: Windows Security, Audio Drivers (usually safe to keep).
- •Present Findings: Show the user a structured report of what was found.
- •Execute Optimization: Upon user approval, use scripts/optimize_system.ps1 or direct registry/service commands to disable unwanted entries.
- •Clean Temp Files: Calculate and offer to clear Windows temp and User temp folders.
Best Practices
- •Always ask for confirmation before modifying Registry keys or stopping services.
- •Never disable SecurityHealth or critical system drivers.
- •Log all changes made so they can be reviewed or reverted if needed.
