- Install and manage apps: Browse supported applications, install or update selected apps, upgrade them all, and uninstall apps from one place.
- Tune Windows: Choose Standard, Minimal, or Advanced presets, or select individual privacy, performance, and usability tweaks. Manage selected Windows app packages, DNS settings, and power plans; many tweaks include undo options.
- Fix common issues: Reset network or Windows Update components, scan for system corruption, and repair WinGet.
- Configure Windows features: Enable optional components such as Hyper‑V, WSL, Windows Sandbox, .NET Framework, and legacy media features. Open classic Windows panels from the same interface.
- Manage updates: Restore normal Windows Update behavior, use the recommended update settings, or pause updates. Disabling updates is available but not recommended.
- Automate repeat setups: Export and import JSON configurations or use presets to apply a consistent setup across PCs.
- Create a custom Windows 11 installer: Use an official Windows 11 ISO to customize an installation image, with options such as removing selected bundled apps, reducing telemetry, enabling local account setup, bypassing hardware checks, and exporting to ISO or USB.
- Use extra tools: Enable OpenSSH for remote access and manage the optional CTT PowerShell profile.
