Hey everyone 👋
I've been working on something that I think the winutil community will find useful. a background automation framework that takes Windows performance tuning to the next level.
ShadowKit is a pure PowerShell automation suite that continuously watches your system and automatically reapplies performance tweaks if Windows Update or telemetry routines revert them.
It runs as a lightweight background daemon (under 100 MB memory) and handles:
0.5 ms system timer lock: NTAPI timer resolution enforcement
Intelligent DNS switching: WMI event-driven DNS failover
Standby memory purging: NTAPI-level cleanup
Self-healing enforcement: Registry, services, and power plan drift correction every 30 minutes
Full WPF dashboard: Real time component telemetry and manual controls
It's built around a runspace pool (single process, multiple isolated threads) with a named mutex for true singleton protection, structured JSONL logging, and exponential restart backoff.

Feedback and Contributions
I'd love to hear your thoughts, what features would make this more useful for your workflow? Any edge cases I should handle?
If you're interested in contributing, feel free to open an issue or pull request. The architecture is modular (plugin based), so adding new components is straightforward.
Thanks for checking it out <3
