Fixnook Advanced Manager — Documentation

This page documents Fixnook Advanced Manager v1.5 (extracted from the bundled script).

Overview

Fixnook Advanced Manager is a Windows system-management and activation toolkit packaged as a single command script: Fixnook Advanced Manager v1.5. It provides a menu-driven interface for common maintenance, driver management, activation, Office management, and troubleshooting tasks.

Version

Version: 1.5 (Released July 2025)

Release notes — highlights (from script)

  • Improved Windows Activation System
  • Office 365 installation optimization
  • Advanced driver detection algorithm
  • MS Office Removal Tool (Beta)
  • Better compatibility with Windows 11 22H2+
  • Enhanced user interface colors and performance improvements

System requirements

  • Supported OS: Windows 10 / 11
  • Administrator privileges are required for many operations
  • PowerShell (FullLanguage) is required for embedded PowerShell features
  • Internet access for some features that download helper scripts or modules

How to run

  1. Extract the archive containing Fixnook Advanced Manager v1.5 to a folder (do not run directly from archive/temp).
  2. Right-click the script and choose Run as administrator. The script attempts to elevate automatically if not already elevated.
  3. Follow the on-screen menu. Use numeric keys and letters as prompted (for example, press 1 for Windows Bypass Tool, 5 for Chrome download, etc.).

Notes: The script checks PowerShell execution policy and will attempt to run or suggest fixes if PowerShell is restricted. Running in non-administrative context will show warnings for privileged operations.

Main features & menu mapping

The script exposes a main menu with the following primary areas (numbers correspond to the on-screen menu):

  • 1 Windows Bypass Tool
  • 2 Network Reset Adapters
  • 3 Windows 10/11 Activation
  • 4 Office Activation
  • 5 Get Chrome Browser
  • 6 Get Office 365 with Activation
  • 7 Get AB Download Manager
  • 8 Get Minitool
  • 9 MS Office Removal (Beta)
  • 0 Control Panel Access
  • F Fixnook Driver Management Tool (detailed submenu)
  • R Office Profile Reset
  • H Fixnook PC Health Check

Driver management module (excerpt)

The included driver tool is extensive. It provides:

  • Install drivers from a folder, install drivers only, update drivers via Windows Update or PSWindowsUpdate module.
  • Backup/restore drivers, export driver information, list installed driver packages, uninstall drivers.
  • Scan for driver problems, check signatures, clean driver store safely, and verify driver integrity.

Example commands used by the script (executed silently or via helper scripts):

pnputil /add-driver <path-to-inf> /install
pnputil /enum-drivers
powershell -Command "Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate -Force -Scope CurrentUser"
Get-WindowsUpdate -AcceptAll -Install -AutoReboot

Embedded PowerShell helpers & downloads

Fixnook Advanced Manager may download small helper PowerShell scripts at runtime to assist with specific tasks. For safety and to avoid accidental execution, this documentation does not include those direct URLs.

What these helpers do

  • Office reset helper — Performs cleanup and reset steps for Microsoft Office installations (remove temporary files, reset configuration, re-register components).
  • PC Health Check helper — Runs a collection of diagnostic checks (disk, drivers, Windows update status) and may produce a short report or attempt automated fixes.

How the script uses them (pseudocode)

The script follows a simple pattern when using remote helpers: it downloads a small .ps1 file to a temporary location, executes it, and then removes the temporary file. For example (pseudocode, URL redacted):

iwr <URL> -OutFile $env:TEMP\helper.ps1; . $env:TEMP\helper.ps1; Remove-Item $env:TEMP\helper.ps1

Safety guidance

  • Only use helper scripts from trusted and verified sources.
  • Before running any downloaded script, open it in a text editor and review the code for unexpected network calls, destructive commands, or obfuscated content.
  • Prefer downloading to a temporary file, inspecting the file, and then executing it manually rather than running a command that downloads and executes in one step.
  • If you're unsure, run scripts in a controlled environment (virtual machine or isolated test system) first.

Security note: Because helper scripts run with the privileges of the user executing them, exercise caution and verify content before execution.

Safety & troubleshooting

  • Make a system restore point before performing driver or registry cleanup (the script often does this automatically).
  • Run from an extracted folder, not from an archive/temp folder.
  • Ensure your antivirus or security software is not blocking PowerShell or script components.
  • If PowerShell mode is restricted (NoFullLanguage), the script prints guidance and links to troubleshooting pages.
