    I made a Windows Maintenance Tool in batch — it's simple, clean, and actually useful


    Hey everyone,

    I’ve been messing around with batch scripting lately and decided to put together a Windows maintenance tool. It’s basically a one-stop script that can help clean up your system, run built-in diagnostics, fix common network issues, and generate system reports — all from one terminal menu.

    It started as a personal project for my own use, but it’s become pretty handy, so I figured I’d share it.

    What it does:

    • Run things like SFC, DISM, CHKDSK without digging through menus
    • Restart network adapters with one click (auto-detects active ones)
    • Reset Windows Update services (stops + clears cache + restarts)
    • DNS tools: flush, set Google/Cloudflare, or custom DNS input
    • Generate full system reports (driver list, system info, IP config) — saved as 3 separate .txt files to keep it organized
    • Option to clean up temp files and do basic optimization

    I made sure nothing destructive runs silently — most of it uses built-in Windows tools like netsh, ipconfig, systeminfo, etc.

    Why I made it:


    I got tired of typing the same commands every time someone had a problem, so this just automates everything. It’s also a nice little project for learning batch scripting.

    Let me know if there's anything you'd add or improve — I’m still updating it.

    /cleanmgr /sagerun in batch scripts

    Martin, I run SageSet as Admin. Perhaps that's what saves me?
    Doesn't the dialog of checkboxes appear when you run SageSet:NNN?

    It's only speculation but, in case previous attempts have messed things up, check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches for all StateFlags0096 entries and delete them. That, I think, should make the dialog appear again for SageSet so you can start again from scratch

    Netfix Batch Script- Fix internet connection

    Somebody please try my batch script Netfix and leave feedback so I can improve it. thank you!

    My goal is to make a troubleshooter to help the built in "Windows Network Diagnostics" fix internet connection problems. How can you help?

    1. Download/copy the code on notepad then save as "Netfix.bat" or "Netfix.cmd"

    2. Test the Batch script

    3. Provide feedback and/or suggestions

    Thank you!

    Run the audio troubleshooter from a batch script

    I have an automated home theatre setup - a batch script that enables my TV as a display, and changes the TV to be my primary display (so games and apps open on my TV instead of my monitor).

    The same script also changes my default audio device to be the TV.

    The problem is every time I turn off my TV, it disappears from the list of audio output devices in Windows 10, and even when I turn it back on, it does not appear in the list. However, if I RIGHT CLICK on the audio icon and select "troubleshoot sound problems"
    and immediately cancel/close the troubleshooter, the TV is automagically added to my list of output devices.

    My question is - is there any way to have this troubleshooter be launched from a batch script and instantly closed? Alternatively, is there a way to force a refresh of the audio devices through a batch script?
