Use the Tweaks tab to apply recommended Windows changes, review optional presets, and adjust a few supporting settings such as DNS and power plans. Start with a preset unless you already know which individual tweaks you want.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Selections
|
||||
Use the quick-selection buttons at the top of the Tweaks tab to speed up setup:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Standard**: Selects the recommended baseline set of tweaks for most users.
|
||||
* **Minimal**: Selects a smaller, lower-impact set of common tweaks.
|
||||
* **Advanced**: Selects a focused set of safer advanced tweaks. This preset intentionally skips restore point creation and cleanup tasks to avoid long runtime.
|
||||
* **Clear**: Clears all currently selected tweaks.
|
||||
* **Get Installed Tweaks**: Best-effort detection for tweaks already applied on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
### Run Tweaks
|
||||
* **Open the Tweaks tab**: Navigate to the **Tweaks** tab in the application.
|
||||
* **Select Tweaks**: Choose the tweaks you want to apply. You can use the presets available at the top for convenience.
|
||||
* **Run Tweaks**: After selecting the desired tweaks, click **Run Tweaks** at the bottom of the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]

|
||||
|
||||
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
> Some tweaks take effect immediately, while others may require Explorer to restart, a sign-out, or a full reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
### Undo Tweaks
|
||||
* **Open the Tweaks tab**: Go to the **Tweaks** tab located next to **Install**.
|
||||
* **Select Tweaks to Remove**: Choose the tweaks you want to disable or remove.
|
||||
* **Undo Tweaks**: Click **Undo Selected Tweaks** at the bottom of the screen to apply the changes.

### Essential Tweaks
|
||||
Essential Tweaks are modifications and optimizations that are generally safe for most users to implement. These tweaks are designed to enhance system performance, improve privacy, and reduce unnecessary system activities. They are considered low-risk and are recommended for users who want to ensure their system runs smoothly and efficiently without delving too deeply into complex configurations. The goal of Essential Tweaks is to provide noticeable improvements with minimal risk, making them suitable for a wide range of users, including those who may not have advanced technical knowledge.
|
||||
Essential Tweaks are the safest starting point for most systems. They focus on lower-risk changes that improve usability, reduce noise, and avoid the more invasive changes found in advanced options.
|
||||
|
||||
### Advanced Tweaks (CAUTION)
|
||||
Advanced Tweaks are intended for experienced users who have a solid understanding of their system and the potential implications of making deep-level changes. These tweaks involve more significant alterations to the operating system and can provide substantial customization. However, they also carry a higher risk of causing system instability or unintended side effects if not implemented correctly. Users who choose to apply Advanced Tweaks should proceed with caution, ensuring they have adequate knowledge and backups in place to recover if something goes wrong. These tweaks are not recommended for novice users or those unfamiliar with the inner workings of their operating system.
|
||||
Advanced Tweaks are for users who understand the side effects of deeper Windows changes. Create a restore point first, review each item, and avoid treating the full advanced list as a one-click baseline.

### DNS
|
||||
|
||||
The utility provides a convenient DNS selection feature, allowing users to choose between various DNS providers for both IPv4 and IPv6. This enables users to optimize their internet connection for speed, security, and privacy according to their specific needs. Here are the available options:
|
||||
Use the DNS section to switch both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS providers without editing adapter settings manually. Choose the option that best matches your priority: speed, filtering, or privacy.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Default**: Uses the default DNS settings configured by your ISP or network.
|
||||
* **DHCP**: Automatically acquires DNS settings from the DHCP server.
