About
Windows Care Kit carries your settings, files, and app list across a Windows reinstall and puts
them back in the right place. Every destructive action is a dry-run first, behind an explicit
approval gate, and it is radically honest — it tells you exactly what cannot transfer
(machine-bound credentials, DPAPI-protected data) instead of faking success. Covers the full
format lifecycle: Uninstall, Clean, pre-format Backup, Reinstall, and Migration. The installer
is component-based: install only the modules you want. Open-source, ad-free, .NET 10. Beta.

Security
No known CVEs for Windows Care Kit.
Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
