Peak Utility is a Windows PowerShell launcher for structured PC optimization workflows. It provides an authenticated menu for diagnostics, refresh tasks, setup steps, installers, graphics settings, Windows settings, hardware checks, and advanced scripts.

• Requires a local sign-in before exposing optimization actions.
• Elevates through Windows UAC when administrator privileges are needed.
• Creates a Windows restore point before changes when the user accepts the prompt.
• Discovers numbered optimization folders such as 1 Check, 2 Refresh, and 8 Advanced.
• Runs .ps1, .bat, .cmd, .url, and .lnk items from a consistent menu.
• Logs each executed item and exit code to PeakUtility.log.

PeakUtility.ps1   Main authenticated PowerShell launcher
PeakUtility.bat   Convenience launcher for double-click usage

Run from PowerShell:

.\PeakUtility.ps1

Run a setup check without executing optimization items:

.\PeakUtility.ps1 -SelfTest

Show help:

.\PeakUtility.ps1 -Help

Peak Utility is designed to make risky system work more deliberate:

• It separates diagnostic, refresh, setup, graphics, Windows, hardware, and advanced workflows into visible menu groups.
• It prompts for a restore point before entering the main workflow.
• It logs execution history for traceability.
• It does not store plaintext passwords. Local sign-in data is salted and hashed in PeakUtility.auth.json.

• Windows
• PowerShell
• Administrator rights for system-level actions
• Optimization folders placed beside the launcher, or a manually selected root folder when prompted
