The LEU handbook

Current status

A transparent view of the foundation build, the next milestone, and longer-term plans.

In the preview

The foundation preview includes:

  • Installed apps, Activity, and Settings navigation.
  • Eight explicitly labeled sample application records.
  • Search by application or publisher, sorting, and installation scope filters.
  • Application selection and a details panel.
  • System light and dark appearance, labeled inputs, and keyboard focus states.
  • A local helper connection indicator, handshake, and reconnection handling.
  • Unavailable uninstall actions with an explanation.

This is a development build with sample data. There is no public stable release yet.

Next: real Windows inventory

The next milestone is read-only discovery of installed desktop programs from Windows registry records. It is intended to show where each program is installed and make missing information clear.

Live discovery is not available in the current preview. The application list currently shows sample records.

Planned: uninstall and review

The planned workflow is to launch supported vendor uninstallers, refresh the inventory afterward, and offer a read-only review of potential leftovers.

Uninstall and cleanup are not available in the current preview.

Later: recoverable cleanup

Cleanup is a later milestone. The aim is to let you review proposed changes, keep selections unchecked by default, and preserve personal documents, application profiles, shared runtimes, and uncertain matches.

Microsoft Store packages, batch uninstallation, installation monitoring, and advanced registry cleanup belong to later milestones. There are no published delivery dates.

Local-first direction

LEU is being designed to handle core discovery and cleanup locally, without an account or a cloud service. Those capabilities are still in development.
