A Windows batch script to automate post-format setup. Installs essential apps via Winget, applies useful system tweaks (e.g., Explorer settings, disabling Windows Update), and runs a custom PowerShell script to configure WSL with Ubuntu 20.04. Ideal for developers or power users restoring their environment after a clean install.

🧰 Windows Post-Format Installer

This is a personal automation script I use after formatting my Windows machine.

It installs most of the desktop apps I use via winget, sets up my Rainmeter skin (halflife-monitoring) and applies some system tweaks focused on usability and performance.

Feel free to use it as a reference and customize it to fit your own setup.

⚠️ Note
This version is no longer a development environment: it does not install WSL, Docker, code editors or language runtimes beyond what’s needed for games/apps.

✅ What it installs (via winget)

Browsers & PDF

  • Google Chrome
  • Adobe Acrobat Reader (64-bit)
  • Google Drive for desktop

Games & Related

Utilities & System

  • CPU-Z
  • BleachBit
  • qBittorrent (replaces Transmission)
  • 7-Zip (optional, if you add it)
  • Rainmeter
  • Git (used to clone the halflife-monitoring skin)

After installing Rainmeter, the script:

  • Detects the Rainmeter skins folder, and
  • Clones https://github.com/kaic/halflife-monitoring into it (if it doesn’t exist yet).

🛠 System tweaks applied

  • Show file extensions for known file types
  • Show hidden files and drives with no media
  • Remove the “3D Objects” folder from File Explorer
  • Disable Game Bar / Game DVR recording in the background
  • Disable hibernation (frees disk space and simplifies boot)
  • Switch power plan to High Performance
  • Optionally disable the Windows Update service (can be re-enabled later)

These tweaks are focused on keeping the system a bit leaner and more responsive, especially for gaming and general desktop use.

📌 Manual installations

These apps are not installed automatically and must be downloaded manually:

  • JBL Quantum Engine (headset software)
  • Logi Options+ (Logitech mouse/keyboard)
  • NVIDIA App / GeForce Experience
  • Riot Client / League of Legends
  • Itaú Desktop App
  • Wallpaper Engine (via Steam)
  • Any other niche tools/games you use (Hydra, Antigravity, etc.)

💡 How to use

  1. Fresh-install Windows on your NVMe drive.
  2. Make sure winget is working and updated.
  3. Download this repo and run the .bat file as Administrator.
  4. Let it finish installing apps and applying tweaks.
  5. Reboot, log into your accounts (Proton, Steam, Discord, etc.) and configure:
    • Wallpaper Engine
    • Rainmeter + halflife-monitoring
    • Monitor refresh rate (set the LG to 144 Hz in Windows display settings)

From there, it’s just logging into your services and jogar/usar o PC feliz. 😄
