Remove MS Edge
Uninstall Microsoft Edge with an executable or batch script
Remove MS Edge is a Windows-focused project that packages methods to uninstall Microsoft Edge using either an executable approach or batch scripts, depending on how automated or hands-on you want the process to be. It targets users who prefer not to keep Edge installed and want a repeatable removal path rather than manual digging through system folders and app packages. The repository highlights practical compatibility considerations, including that certain apps and features may rely on WebView components, which can affect software that embeds web-based UI. It also acknowledges real-world maintenance risks, such as Windows update behavior that can break or loop if the system expects Edge to exist, so it’s best understood as a power-user tool with tradeoffs. The project offers multiple removal “flavors,” including options that remove only Edge, remove Edge plus WebView, or focus on specific Edge variants, so users can pick a level of aggressiveness. -

NVM for Windows
A node.js version management utility for Windows written in Go
Manage multiple installations of node.js on a Windows computer. Similar (not identical) to nvm, but for Windows. This has always been a node version manager, not an io.js manager, so there is no back-support for io.js. However, node 4+ is supported. Remember when running nvm install or nvm use, you must have Windows administrative rights (to create symlinks). There are situations where the ability to switch between different versions of Node.js can be very useful. For example, if you want to test a module you're developing with the latest bleeding edge version without uninstalling the stable version of node, this utility can help. Please note that any global npm modules you may have installed are not shared between the various versions of node.js you have installed. Additionally, some npm modules may not be supported in the version of node you're using, so be aware of your environment as you work. -

Proton
Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and other components
Proton is a tool for use with the Steam client which allows games which are exclusive to Windows to run on the Linux operating system. It uses Wine to facilitate this. Most users will prefer to use Proton provided by the Steam client itself. The source code is provided to enable advanced users the ability to alter Proton. For example, some users may wish to use a different version of Wine with a particular title. As the new Steam Play is still in Beta, it is recommended that you opt into the Steam Client Beta for the latest features and fixes. Proton works best with the latest graphics drivers. For some cutting edge games and graphical features, you may need drivers newer than what your distribution ships. Install and play games! We strongly recommend that most users use the production build of Proton. -

Java Client MSI & Archive Installers
Oracle Java 8 MSI and offline installers for silent deployment
Extracted MSI packages and offline installers for the Oracle Java 8 client, archived here so administrators can deploy Java silently through ConfigMgr/SCCM, Intune, Group Policy or MDT without using the web installer. Oracle does not publish the Java MSI as a download - it is unpacked from the offline installer while setup runs. This project keeps those extracted MSI and Data1.cab pairs, plus the matching offline .exe installers, version by version, so you can pull an exact build rather than whatever the current release happens to be. Licensing: Oracle Java 8 ships under the Oracle Technology Network licence, which limits free use to personal use, development, testing and prototyping. Business and production use needs an Oracle Java SE subscription. For a freely redistributable Java 8, use Eclipse Temurin or Amazon Corretto - both publish native MSI installers. Extraction steps and silent-install switches: https://techygeekshome.info/java-8-msi-installers/ -

nsisbi
NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS.
NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS. This version adds support for using a separate file for storing the install data, therefore allowing installer sizes up to a theoretical max size of 8EB (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_EXTERNAL_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). On versions before 7069-1, the compiler (makensis) is designed to run on 64 bit machines as this is the feature needed to make installers bigger than 2GB. On versions before 7208-1, source files added to the installer are limited to 2GB per file (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). This project is the result of several different experiments focused on relieving the 2GB limit in NSIS, so it's still a work in progress. I'll try to keep it up to date with each major NSIS release. -

Windows 11 Fixer
A tool to "Fix" Windows 11
Windows 11 Fixer is a community-oriented Windows utility intended to centralize a wide range of customization, cleanup, and configuration tasks for Windows 11 into one user-friendly interface. It gives users a single place to tweak visual components like the taskbar and File Explorer, adjust system settings including privacy and security options, and uninstall unwanted default software that many consider bloatware. In addition to settings adjustments, the tool can automate the removal of applications such as Cortana or Edge, and also offers options to install commonly used third-party applications directly from within its UI. The application emphasizes ease of use, pulling together many tweaks that would otherwise require manual registry edits or piecemeal scripts, and it typically shows reminders when a reboot or process restart is needed for changes to take effect. -

Scoop Installer
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu.
