Hi Product Hunt!
I built DECKHAND out of irritation with what "free" Windows utilities have become: scare tactics ("1,247 registry errors found!"), bundled toolbars, RAM-booster placebo and a PRO upsell behind every button.
DECKHAND does six things in one window, and every one of them comes from official sources:
- driver updates from the Microsoft Update catalog (WHQL-signed only) + detection of devices with no driver at all
- app updates for Chrome and hundreds more via winget
- disk cleanup that shows file counts and sizes BEFORE deleting anything (and never touches passwords or history)
- reversible startup control - the same mechanism Task Manager uses, nothing gets deleted
- a repair toolbox (drive health, DISM+SFC, network reset...) where every tool shows the exact command it runs
- a starter pack: 26 hand-picked free apps installed silently on a fresh Windows
What's deliberately NOT inside: no antivirus (Defender is fine), no RAM/FPS "boosters", no registry cleaner - and the landing page explains why we're proud of those gaps.
On trust: the binary isn't code-signed yet (that's the next milestone), so instead of asking for trust - the full source is on GitHub, every download has a published SHA-256, and you can build an identical exe yourself with one command. Heads up: unsigned means Windows SmartScreen will warn you; "More info" then "Run anyway", or verify the checksum first.
MIT-licensed, and the free version is the whole product. I'd love your feedback - especially from people who fix their family's computers.

Finally something that cleans up the disk clutter without poking around in the registry. Winget + MS Update through one reversible toggle is a smart combo.
