Frequently asked questions

How do I move WinUtil presets?

Copy your preset JSON files to the new machine and load them in WinUtil. Selections travel as files. The tool itself needs no install.

My selections vanished. Why?

Save the preset explicitly from the tool first. Checked boxes alone do not persist. Keep JSON files beside the exe or synced.
