Versions:
WAU Settings GUI 1.9.3.6, published by KnifMelti and now in its twenty-second public build, is a portable standalone utility that exposes every configurable element of the Winget-AutoUpdate (WAU) engine through a single, clearly arranged graphical interface. Designed for home administrators who want enterprise-grade control without enterprise complexity, the tool eliminates the need to hunt through disparate registry keys, JSON files, or scheduled-task properties when adjusting update intervals, blacklists, notification levels, or pre/post scripts. Developers benefit equally: all experimental tweaks can be previewed, saved, and reverted from one window, accelerating iterative testing cycles. A built-in screenshot generator—able to mask user or machine-identifying data—lets community supporters request visual confirmation of settings without exposing sensitive details, streamlining remote troubleshooting. For safer validation, the package ships with a heavily modified Microsoft SandboxTest.ps1 that now sports its own GUI, allowing upgrades, installations, and configuration changes to be rehearsed in an isolated Windows Sandbox before they touch a live system. Because the executable is fully portable, it can be carried on a thumb drive and launched against any WAU-equipped workstation without installation rights, making it practical for field technicians and portable-device fleets alike. The program sits in the System Utilities / Windows Tweaker category and remains lightweight, requiring only .NET 6 runtime and presenting no background services or telemetry. WAU Settings GUI is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always serving the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
