Update: PatdhMyPC is a good choice tor installing software and

Chris Titus Windows Utility is great for Windows tweaking and essential programs

Update: I like Choco but some programs don't update or install. Keep PatchMyPC in mind.

I like Choco for new setups for the ease of pasting a list of programs into the command window.

Some programs in Choco do not install even though they show as existing. Symenu is still necessary.

And sometimes you still need to go to a website for the program.

I have not completely settled on each install of portable between Sy or Choco.

Arch Titus

https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus

This was slick but I will still probably just use Manjaro.

Download Arch

https://archlinux.org/download/

Use Ventoy and copy Arch to the flash drive

pacman -Sy git

git clone https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus

cd ArchTitus

./archtitus.sh (or type arth and it tab)

Choose main drive not a partition

. . . VirtualBox I had to do /dev/sda

. . . Be sure to set EFI in system

This is EFI currently & I don't know how to make it legacy yet.

User

Password

KDE Plasma type 1 (this did not appear for me)

type reboot (in VB close machine, remove cd, restart)

to enable set resolution in VB install Guest Additions

to install

yay -Syu updates

yay -S (program name install)

yay -Ss (program name search)

yay -Ss (snap to search snaps)

yay -Ss snap | grep installed (to search Installed snaps)

what is snappy?

win + arrow L-R move

win + up max

win + Q quits

win + E explorer

win + B brave

Your Phone App Breaks

 I like the Your Phone app on Win10 but it will break now and then and needs reinstall. The symptom I've had is mouse clicks on messages or people will not register.

Open Admin PowerShell and paste this

Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.YourPhone* -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage

Or use CCleaner's uninstall

Go to store and install again.

It will need to be set up again and removed from phone but this has worked twice for me.
