Windows App Restarter
A tiny tray utility for turning a repetitive Windows App restart script into one click.
Why I made it
I sometimes need to restart the Windows App / Windows 365 client processes and Explorer. The manual version was a short PowerShell script, but it was still annoying enough that I wanted it as a tray action instead.
What it does
- Adds a Windows tray icon for quick access
- Stops the Windows App client processes when they are running
- Restarts Explorer and recreates the tray icon afterward
- Can start automatically when signing in
- Writes a local log file for troubleshooting
Why it belongs here
This is one of my favorite kinds of small project: a narrow personal annoyance turned into a little tool that is easier to reuse than the script it replaced.
Stack
C#, Windows tray app, .NET, PowerShell build scripts, and an installer build.
