    • In the first time you run this automatic batch file, it will take about half an hour or more according to CPU speed and number of available files inside WinSxS folder, so be patient.
    • After finishing preparatory stage, you can choose which tool you want to use by typing the corresponding number to the tool and pressing Enter, however, if you want to use all tools at once, select the option number 4 to do so.
