Win10 Tweaker instructions

Confidentiality

The first section allows you to flexibly configure privacy when using PC, as well as a laptop. To switch between tools, the program provides the use of a list located on the left side of the program. So, let’s figure out in order why this or that function is needed:

Disable the advertising identifier for advertising. Here we will just say that after checking the box, advertising in the operating system stops being displayed. However, this does not apply to the browser and other third-party applications.
Disables all types of Windows synchronization.
Disables all types of telemetry, including Microsoft Office. As a result of activating this option, the system will be prohibited from collecting and sending information about the user.
Disable NVIDIA telemetry.
Disable data collection via scheduler event.
Disable collection of data about installed applications.
Disable the collection of statistics about the use of Software.
Disables the collection and sending of handwriting data.
Disable network access to data collection domains.
Disable user behavior recording.
Disable location detection.
Disable hit verification via feedback.
Disables hidden background speech synthesis updates.
Disable hidden system monitoring.
Disable experimental interference from Microsoft.
Disable and completely remove spyware modules from Microsoft.
Disable collection and processing of Windows event log data.

As you can understand, this section is responsible for your privacy and data security. Activating one or all options at once does not cause any harm to the operating system.

Context menu

Now let’s look at what changes and improvements this application can make to the Tens context menu:

Add: “Become owner and get full control.” Surely, each of you has encountered a situation where, when trying to open one or another directory, we saw a ban on actions from the operating system. Thanks to the new context menu item, visiting any folder, and not just visiting, but doing anything with it or its contents has become possible.
Add useful items to your computer menu. The selected options will be integrated into the context menu. This is, for example:

Administration;
Safe Mode;
Device Manager;
Control panel;
Programs and Features;
Group Policy Editor;
Registry editor;
Services;
Disk management.

When you right-click on the OS desktop, a command line launch item can be added.
You can add additional options to the “New” context menu sub-item, namely: script Windows.cmd, file registry.reg, script file VBScript.vbs.
Adding an item to show and hide system folders.
Adding a copy item to the image buffer.
Adding the item “Upload to Imgur” or “Upload.exe” when you click on the image.
Adding the item “Allow/deny Internet access.”
Adding an item to erase the contents of the selected directory.
Adding an item to create a symbolic link.
Open .nfo and unknown file types using Notepad.
Removes mention of Windows Media player from the context menu.
Removing other context menu items, for example: Restore previous version, Edit in Paint 3D, Pin to Start, Pin to Quick Access, Search for music online, Send, Transfer to device and Add to library.
Also from the context menu “Create” other garbage items can be removed, namely: Bitmap, transfer the contact as a document in the format RTF, compressed ZIP folder and briefcase
Improved the “Personalization” item in the desktop context menu.

This section contains some points with which you need to be extremely careful. This applies to the first option, which is called “Become an owner and get full control”. Using the function, do not delete system files that interfere with the normal functioning of Windows 10.

Interface

Let’s move on to working with the interface, or rather, setting it up. The capabilities of Win 10 Tweaker related to OS personalization are as follows:

Adjusting the color of tooltips.
Improved font display.
Improved appearance of the Close, Collapse‘ and ‘Expand‘ buttons.
Deleting large objects and folders from Explorer.
Deleting folders from “This PC”.
Removing arrows on labels.
Removing the prefix “Shortcut for…“.
Speed up the cursor flickering rate.
Speed up the appearance of previews on the taskbar.
Increasing the transparency of the taskbar.
Displays all tray icons.
Preliminary configuration of the conductor. This item includes several additional features:

disable navigation area;
show extensions;
open the computer using “Win” + “E”;
show empty disks;
show folder merge conflicts;
remove the limit on the length of conductor paths;
show emoticons by “Win” +.

Improved appearance of the command line, Windows Power Shell and context menu.
Thinner scroll bar.
Enable slow animation of windows.
Add a computer icon to your desktop.
Automatically restore previous windows and folders when you log in.

From customizing the appearance of Windows 10 we move on to customizing the operating system itself.

System

The set of features included in this section boils down to the following:

Turn off Security Center notifications in Windows 10.
Disable warnings when running executable files.
Disable Windows Defender and Smart Screen filter.
Disable user account control.
Switch keyboard layout using “Ctrl” + “Shift”.
Fixed timeout before the lock screen turns off.
Disable memory diagnostics.
Deactivating Teredo, ISATAP, and IPv6.
Disable voice assistant C
Preliminary configuration of Internet Explorer.
Creating shortcuts to reboot and update the Explorer shell.
Increasing the file system cache.
Speed up the launch of the operating system and programs from startup.
Disable history for the Quick Access Toolbar.
Disable autorun of removable media.
Unlock classic Windows photo view.
Complete removal of the Microsoft One Drive synchronization service and all processes associated with it.

Services

One of the most problematic parts of the Microsoft operating system is the presence of a large number of unnecessary and unused services. Let’s deal with them too. To do this, all active processes are displayed here, colored yellow or gray. In the first case the service works, in the second it does not. By clicking on one of the names, we enable or, conversely, deactivate it.

Stopping any system service will not lead to any critical consequences. However, this may result in some features or devices stopping working. For example, if you disable the printing service, you will no longer be able to use the printer until you reactivate the process.

Cleaning

Next we move on to another very, very interesting point, which involves cleaning the operating system of garbage. Here the Win 10 Tweaker application has a whole range of simply irreplaceable options:

Cleaning RAM and background processes.
Clearing the cache of installed games, as well as video card drivers.
Clearing the installation cache.
Clearing the browser cache.
Clear the File Explorer thumbnail cache.
Clearing the Windows Defender Cache.
Clearing the Windows preferences cache.
Clearing the update cache.
Clearing OS system log.
Cleaning the system registry from cache and traces of use.
Deletes the usage history of all connected USB drives.
Removing unnecessary folders. Deleting the hibernation file.
Deletes all temporary files in all temporary directories.
Removing Windows diagnostic files.
Deletes all existing system reports.
Removing languages not used by the system.
One-time access.

If any of the applications on your PC or laptop cannot be installed, use a program to remove programs that cannot be uninstalled.

Applications

However, Win 10 Tweaker also has its own function that allows you to quickly remove certain software. To do this, simply select it in the left side menu. A special feature of this tool is the ability to uninstall standard applications that cannot be erased in any other way.

Autoload

Startup is a conditional section of the operating system in which programs, games, folders or documents are placed that are launched or opened along with the OS strong>. Some of these applications run in the background and hang minimized in the system tray. At the same time, the user most often does not even know about their existence.

As a result, all this greatly slows down the startup of the operating system and wastes RAM while it is running. Using the utility, you can go to the appropriate section and, simply by clicking on the name of one of the programs, enable or disable its autorun.

Optimization

Optimizing the operating system from Microsoft is also a very important point in ensuring the stability and performance of your computer. The utility we are discussing today allows you to do the following:

Compresses all system and program files on the disk.
Compresses the operating system to save space.
Compresses WinSxS storage, system files and updates.
Cleaning the WinSxS storage from old updates and copies of components.
Cleaning the system from outdated drivers, duplicates of the same drivers, as well as their backup copies.
Find duplicate files and replace them with hard links.

By the way, in order to understand the purpose of a particular element when working with Win 10 Tweaker we can simply hover over it with the mouse and read a short description.

Virus check

This function is designed to check files or folders with files dragged into the program window. In order for the option to start working, we need to go to the official website of Virustotal and create an account there. Once this is done and the email is confirmed, you can copy the passkey, which you need to paste into the window shown in the screenshot below.

System information

The last opportunity that the application under review offers us is the display of various system information. The data that the program is capable of providing is shown in the image attached below.
