whats the entire chris titus irm command for win cleanup

The entire Chris Titus IRM command for launching his Windows utility (which includes cleanup/tweaking options) is:

powershell

irm christitus.com/win | iex

That’s the full one-liner you run in PowerShell (Admin) or Terminal (Admin) to start the tool.

How it actually works for “Win cleanup”

The command itself just downloads and runs the WinUtil script. “Win cleanup” isn a single dedicated command; it’s a set of options inside the graphical interface:

  1. Open PowerShell as Admin

    • Right‑click Start → Terminal (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin).
  2. Run the IRM command

    powershell
    
    irm christitus.com/win | iex
    

or, with explicit URL:

     powershell
     
     irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex
  1. In the WinUtil UI:
    • Go to the Tweaks tab.
    • Choose a profile like Desktop → Standard or Laptop → Standard.
    • On the right, make sure:
      • Create Restore Point is checked (recommended).
      • Run Disk Cleanup is checked if you want deep cleanup of temp files, Windows Update cache, etc.
  1. Click Run Tweaks.
    • This will:
      • Debloat apps.
      • Disable telemetry.
      • Clean temp files and some Windows Update leftovers (disk cleanup).
    • If “Run Disk Cleanup” is on, it can take a while on older drives.
  1. When done, restart your PC so all changes apply cleanly.

If you want a single command that also sets execution policy

Sometimes people use a variant that bypasses execution policy restrictions in one line:

powershell

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {irm 'https://christitus.com/win' | iex}"

But for normal use on a typical Windows 11 system, the short version is enough:

powershell

irm christitus.com/win | iex

Run that, then use the Tweaks tab + Run Disk Cleanup option inside the UI for the actual “Win cleanup” behavior. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
