PowerToolBox
Download

Update or uninstall

PowerToolBox 1.2.0 has no auto-update. The in-app Check for Updates button is a placeholder that always reports you are current, so watch the install page for new versions.

Update to a new version

  1. Download the new zip from the install page.
  2. Verify the zip against the SHA-256 shown on the install page before replacing anything:
certutil -hashfile .\PowerToolBox-1.2.0-win-x64.zip SHA256
  1. Close PowerToolBox, then extract the zip over your existing app folder, replacing the files.

Your settings, saved connections, logs, and plugins live outside the app folder under %APPDATA%\PowerToolBox, so they survive the replacement.

Uninstall completely

  1. Delete the app folder (the extracted folder that contains PowerToolBox.exe).
  2. To remove all app data as well, delete these two folders:
%APPDATA%\PowerToolBox\
%LocalAppData%\PowerToolBox\

The first holds settings.json, connections.json, the logs folder, the audit-chain folder, the secrets folder, Plugins, and cached connector icons. The second holds the cached sign-in tokens.

Before you delete: removing connections.json deletes your saved connections. Secrets are encrypted with Windows DPAPI under your user profile, so they cannot be moved to another machine or another Windows user — after a move, you sign in and re-enter credentials from scratch.

About the SmartScreen warning

The download is an unsigned, self-contained build, so Windows SmartScreen may warn the first time you run it. See SmartScreen warning for what to check and how to proceed.
