Windows PC Toolkit v2.0.0 — safe-by-default overhaul

Windows PC Toolkit v2.0.0 — safe-by-default overhaul

Major rewrite of every tool. Exact JSON snapshots, honest rollback, and removal of permanent “tweak pile” behavior.

App versions

Package	Version	Notes
PC Corruption Fixer	7.1.1	Full Repair no longer resets network; Repair-Volume primary disk scan; reversible AI policies
PC Privacy Guard	2.0	Balanced (recommended) vs Strict; exact registry/service/task undo
Encrypted DNS (DoH)	2.1	One provider at a time; official HTTPS templates; mode-aware DHCP/static restore
PC Gaming Optimizer	4.0	Shared module; measurement-first; no permanent timer/NIC/MSI/SysMain hacks

Highlights

• Snapshots live under %ProgramData%\WindowsPCToolkit\...
• START_TOOLKIT.bat — single launcher menu for all tools + validation
• Validate_All.ps1 — parser + safety regression checks (29 scripts, all green on release train)
• Launchers use absolute System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

Downloads

• windows-pc-toolkit-v2.0.0.zip — full package (recommended)
• Individual tool zips if you only need one app

Upgrade notes

If you used Gaming Optimizer v3.x, run Repair v3.x Tweaks once (opt-in) to clean legacy overrides.

If you used the old mixed Quad9+Mullvad DNS script, re-apply a single provider profile from Encrypted DNS Manager 2.1.

Safety

Windows Update / games / browsers kept safe by default. Strict Privacy and network stack reset require explicit confirmation.

MIT license. Create a System Restore point first. Use at your own risk.
