DazzleTools

System Management Utilities for Everyone

GitHub License Sponsor

Command-line utilities for file management, system diagnostics, process control, and everyday computing tasks. Works the same on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

What is DazzleTools?

DazzleTools is a collection of standalone command-line utilities designed to solve real-world system management problems. From fixing Windows connectivity bugs to backing up your family photos with verification, these tools make everyday computing tasks easier and more reliable.

Philosophy

  • Cross-Platform - Same commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • Composable - Tools work together but don't require each other
  • No Bloat - Each tool does one thing well
  • Transparent Behavior - You control what happens, tools don't guess

Featured Tool

NCSI Resolver

Fix Windows "No Internet, Secured" false detection

If Windows shows "No Internet, Secured" when you actually have internet, this tool fixes it. Runs silently as a Windows service and makes OneNote, OneDrive, and other Microsoft UWP apps work again.

# Install and run as Windows service
ncsi-resolver install
ncsi-resolver start
