Quick answers for the questions people hit first. For longer write-ups, use Docs.

Preview vs Apply

Preview is safe and read-only. Apply creates a restore point, then makes changes.

Update watchers

Optional logon tasks that re-apply Persistent Blocks if Windows Update undoes them.

USB / portable use

One standalone exe. No install. Local cache lives under your AppData folder.

How do I use it safely?

  1. Run as administrator when prompted.
  2. Pick a tier (Privacy → Kiosk).
  3. Review Persistent Blocks and Apps checkboxes.
  4. Click Preview Changes first.
  5. Only then click Apply.

What are update watchers?

Scheduled tasks named like WinBaseline-Persist-* that run at logon and re-check selected Persistent Blocks. They are optional and not real-time monitoring.

Can I run it from a USB stick?

Yes. Copy only WinBaseline.exe. On first run it extracts the engine to %LOCALAPPDATA%\WinBaseline\ on that PC.

Something failed during Apply

Check the Preview / Results tab and the log folder under LocalAppData. Most items are skipped cleanly if already removed. One failure does not stop the whole run.
