A Windows diagnostics engine built with Batch as the orchestrator and PowerShell spun up on-the-fly to handle all the precision work.
Shawna’s CMD Tools is a full Windows diagnostics and maintenance suite that bypasses CMD’s usual quoting bugs, timing issues, and general chaos by generating PowerShell modules dynamically at runtime.
Everything here is engineered for repeatability, stability, and zero guesswork — the same philosophy I use in firmware QA.
This tool handles:
- Disk checks and repairs
- SFC + DISM system integrity fixes
- Manual GPU vendor selection (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel)
- GPU snapshots and driver restart logic
- PCIe link speed detection (current + max)
- CPU and RAM snapshots
- Auto-recovery of failing services
- Windows cleanup (Temp purge, component cleanup, etc.)
- Icon cache rebuild
- AppX / Windows Store reset
- Search index rebuild
- Explorer restart
- Fun “BOOM” exit sequence
All heavy logic is pushed into temp .ps1 scripts for maximum stability.
- This tool relies heavily on runtime-generated PowerShell to avoid CMD crashes.
- NVIDIA logic is frozen — it works, so it stays untouched.
- GPU selection is manual because autodetect lies on multi-GPU systems.
- PCIe link speed detection is timing-sensitive, so the entire block remains locked to the V15 implementation.
- The script runs on Windows 10 and 11 with admin privileges.
This isn’t a toy script — it’s an engine.
- Disk checks (C / D)
- CHKDSK repair mode
- SFC scan
- DISM RestoreHealth
- Multi-GPU vendor selection
- GPU snapshot (nvidia-smi / WMI)
- GPU driver restart sequences
- PCIe Gen detection (current + max link speed)
- Service health scan + auto restart
- CPU load + core/thread snapshot
- RAM usage snapshot
- Windows cleanup tools
- Explorer restart
- Search index rebuild
- Windows Store / AppX reset
- Icon cache rebuild
- Custom exit animation
- Windows 10 / 11
- Batch (core flow engine)
- PowerShell (runtime modules)
- WMI / CIM queries
- PnP device properties for PCIe detection
- Native Windows tools (CHKDSK, DISM, SFC, CLEANMGR, WSRESET)
This stack is engineered to survive Windows quirks, timing issues, multi-GPU setups, and everything else CMD tends to break.
This tool is mostly working and stable, but I’m still building out some components:
- Logging system
- Deeper GPU diagnostics
- Optional “aggressive mode”
- Extended PCIe detail
- More polish on the BOOM animation

Just don’t blame me when Windows does Windows things.
