### Download not working
|
|
|
|
If you run WinUtil and get an error like:
|
|
|
|
`< : The term '<' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.`
|
|
|
|
try using a **VPN** and if that doesn't work than report the issue to https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/issues
|
|
|
|
### Script Won't Run
|
|
|
|
If you run WinUtil and get the error:
|
|
|
|
`"WinUtil is unable to run on your system. PowerShell execution is restricted by security policies"`
|
|
|
|
this means that your PowerShell session is in **Constrained Language Mode**, which prevents WinUtil from running.

### Ultimate Performance Plan Not Working
|
|
|
|
The Ultimate Performance power plan may not work on some laptops that do not fully support this power plan.
|
|
|
|
In these cases, the power plan may fail to apply, This is expected behavior on unsupported hardware.

|
### Revert start menu tweak not working
|
|
|
|
Revert start menu tweak stops working starting with **Windows 11 update KB5089573** (released in May 2026).
|
|
|
|
In this update, Microsoft completely removed the old Start Menu code from Windows, so we aren't able to bring it back.

### Issues with PowerShell 7 or Class not registered Error
|
|
Installing PowerShell 7 from the Microsoft Store (MSIX package) is known to cause issues with DISM cmdlets such as `Get-WindowsOptionalFeature` and `Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature`, resulting in a `Class not registered` COM error.
|
|
|
|
This might also make it so running the "pre-installed app removal" will take a indefinite amount of time
|
|
|
|
Instead, install PowerShell 7 using one of the following methods:
|
|
|
|
**winget (recommended):**
|
|
```powershell
|
|
winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget --installer-type wix
|
|
```
|
|
**Direct MSI from GitHub Releases:** Download the `.msi` installer from the [PowerShell GitHub Releases](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases) page.
