Fix Get Installed toggle detection (#3762) by ZeusCraft10 · Pull Request #3959 · ChrisTitusTech/winutil

ZeusCraft10 · 2026-01-28T21:33:54Z

Summary

Fixes the issue where "Get Installed" in the Tweaks tab was not correctly pulling all toggle states (#3762), plus several additional config bugs discovered during investigation.

Changes

1. Unified Toggle Detection Logic (Issue #3762)

Invoke-WinUtilCurrentSystem now uses Get-WinUtilToggleStatus for Type: "Toggle" tweaks
This ensures "Get Installed" uses the same logic as UI initialization, eliminating inconsistencies

2. Fixed Registry Value Detection

Critical Bug Fix: Changed null checks from if(!$regstate) to if($null -eq $regstate) in both:
- functions/private/Invoke-WinUtilCurrentSystem.ps1
- functions/private/Get-WinUtilToggleStatus.ps1
Previously, registry values of 0 were incorrectly treated as missing because 0 is falsy in PowerShell
Now correctly distinguishes between missing keys and legitimate 0 values

3. Added DefaultState Support

Registry detection now properly handles DefaultState for tweaks with missing registry keys
Matches the behavior already present in Get-WinUtilToggleStatus

4. Non-Detectable Tweaks Handling

Added debug logging for tweaks with only InvokeScript or appx entries
These tweaks are skipped (as there's no deterministic way to detect their state)

5. Fixed WPFTweaksUTC Registry Type

Changed RealTimeIsUniversal registry type from QWord to DWord
This is a standard Windows 32-bit integer; wrong type would cause registry operation to fail

6. Fixed Duplicate Order Collision (First Instance)

Changed WPFTweaksRemoveGallery order from "a029_" back to "a030_"
Three tweaks had the same order value causing unpredictable UI sorting

7. Fixed FFmpeg Display Name

Changed ffmpeg content from "eibol.FFmpegBatchAVConverter" (package ID) to "FFmpeg Batch AV Converter" (user-friendly name)

8. Fixed WPFTweaksServices Service Startup Types

Changed TermService (Remote Desktop) from Automatic to Manual
Changed VaultSvc (Credential Manager) from Automatic to Manual
Now consistent with tweak's stated purpose of setting services to Manual

9. Fixed OneDrive Removal Script

Removed Stop-Process -Name Explorer which killed Explorer before cleanup operations
Replaced with Stop-Process -Name FileCoAuth only, with -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Added Start-Process explorer.exe to restart Explorer after cleanup
Fixed permissions: replaced incorrect /grant "Administrators:(D,DC)" with proper /reset and /grant "Administrators:(F)"
Added -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue to file removal operations for robustness

10. Fixed Duplicate Order Collision (Second Instance)

Changed WPFTweaksRemoveHome order from "a029_" to "a029a_"
Resolves conflict with WPFTweaksRemoveOneDrive

11. Fixed Copilot Removal Script

Added wildcard pattern: Get-AppxPackage *MicrosoftWindows.Client.CoreAI* instead of exact match
Added null check: wrapped removal operations in if ($Appx) block
Prevents failures when package name varies by Windows version

Files Changed

functions/private/Invoke-WinUtilCurrentSystem.ps1 - Toggle detection logic
functions/private/Get-WinUtilToggleStatus.ps1 - Null check fix
config/tweaks.json - Registry types, order fixes, service types, script fixes
config/applications.json - FFmpeg display name fix

Testing

Manual Verification Steps:

Open Tweaks tab and note initial toggle states (especially those with DefaultState)
Click "Get Installed"
Verify toggle states remain consistent and accurate
Test with tweaks that have registry values of 0 (e.g., dark mode toggles)
Verify WPFTweaksUTC dual-boot time setting works correctly
Verify RemoveOneDrive, RemoveHome, RemoveGallery appear in correct order
Test OneDrive removal doesn't break Explorer or leave permissions in broken state
Test Copilot removal works across different Windows versions

Impact

✅ Fixes toggle state detection inconsistency
✅ Resolves issue with 0 values being treated as missing
✅ Makes "Get Installed" behavior match UI initialization
✅ Fixes dual-boot UTC time setting
✅ Fixes UI ordering for advanced tweaks
✅ Improves UX with proper app display names
✅ Prevents Remote Desktop and Credential Manager from auto-starting
✅ Makes OneDrive removal more reliable and doesn't break Explorer
✅ Makes Copilot removal work reliably across Windows versions
✅ No breaking changes - purely additive/corrective logic

Closes #3762

it would look alot better if you put spaces after the if statment example
before

if($registryTotal -gt 0 -and $registryMatchCount -ne $registryTotal) {
     $values += $False
}

after

if ($registryTotal -gt 0 -and $registryMatchCount -ne $registryTotal) {
     $values += $False
}

11. Fixed Copilot Removal Script
Added wildcard pattern: Get-AppxPackage *MicrosoftWindows.Client.CoreAI* instead of exact match

no reason to do this its useless might as well make it *ai* than

9. Fixed OneDrive Removal Script
Removed Stop-Process -Name Explorer which killed Explorer before cleanup operations

we need to stop explorer to delete those files

9. Fixed OneDrive Removal Script
Fixed permissions: replaced incorrect /grant "Administrators:(D,DC)" with proper /reset and /grant "Administrators:(F)"

no need for /reset we dont need it

and we dont need -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue since we wont see the error anyway
