System Configuration Adjustments

Winget Package Manager Source Configuration

The default winget source often encounters connectivity issues. Configure an alternative source to resolve this problem.

# Check current winget version
winget -v

# Replace default source with USTC mirror
winget source remove winget
winget source add winget https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/winget-source --trust-level trusted

System Stetings

• Enable file extension visibility in Explorer
• Configure User Account Control (UAC) settings via Windows search
