This free all-in-one tool fixes common Windows problems

Keeping your Windows PC running good isn’t hard if you do a little regular upkeep. Stuff can slow down or mess up over time, but Windows has some built-in tools to help fix things.

You can run advanced, Microsoft-supplied tools like SFC, DISM, and CHKDSK every now and then to keep things smooth. If you want to run all those tools in one spot, there’s a cool free program called Windows Maintenance Tool you can grab from GitHub.

It’s described by the developer as a “powerful all-in-one Windows maintenance toolkit” designed “for power users, system administrators, and curious tinkerers.”

Besides those tools, it can also restart your network, change your DNS, fix Windows Update, make reports, show your drivers, clean out temp files, and back up your registry.

How to use the Windows Maintenance Tool

To use the Windows Maintenance Tool, go to its Github page and download the latest version. Since it’s a batch file, you can open it in any text editor, review it, and even make changes if you have the necessary skills.

You’ll then need to run the script as an administrator, as it requires elevated permissions to access the various tools. This is what it looks like when using the tool on a Windows PC:

To execute a command, you simply type the corresponding number and press Enter. This makes troubleshooting common Windows problems much faster and easier.

For example, you can use the number 21 to launch the Windows Update Repair Tool or use the number 23 to reset Windows. Reports and logs created by the script are then saved directly to your desktop.

Just a heads-up! Since it’s third-party software, there’s some risk, so it’s smart to test it out in a virtual machine before using it on your main PC.
