You can export your favorite changes made with Winaero Tweaker on one system and import them on other systems. Together with Bookmarks, that saves a lot of time hunting among the settings.
True, I should have included that in the video.
14:35 HOLY CRAP. I've suspected for a very long time that Windows lowers the quality of wallpapers because when I use certain already-mediocre-quality images, such as from older games, I've seen the quality become far worse. I feel validated seeing this. This is an incredibly important option for people using older pictures on higher resolutions. Thank you!
Do we have to worry about these changes reverting each time Windows does a major upgrade??? And if you use the portable version, won't these changes only take place when you run the program each time versus if it was permanently installed?
The program essentially just changes registry settings. So as long as those registry settings aren't invalidated in the update they should work fine.
this is true, almost every tweak is done via the registry
Most of the time the settings persist through updates. But, if you want to be extra careful, you can save your tweaks so you can reapply them after an update if some of them get lost.
Please do a followup video on the Windows 11 section. Over 20% of all Windows users have upgraded to Windows 11 so it would be worth the review. Thanks
I might.
I would
@@pinkgrognakcould be a Grammatical mistake
Love your videos so much man, definitely going to be checking this one out. I figured you’d cover Aero next haha, looks awesome.
Yeah, with the number of people that suggested it I had to try it. It works pretty well.
Killing the Microsoft Welcome Experience is WORTH the entire program. Damn those Microsoft account pushers!!!!!
Yes, that's a cool feature.
@@CyberCPU Wish that would have been one of your manual registry hacks in the other two videos you produced. I would love to to turn that off going into the Registry.
@CyberCPU Tech
Glad you finally covered it! One of my favorite tools! EDIT: I only use Windows 11. Seeing it run in Win10 was interesting. You really should do another video to cover the Windows 11 features because many of them are very useful!
This tool has been around since 2015. A classic must-have utility for Windows 7-11 users.
I was wondering if you were going to do a video on this program. I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it. One of my favorite features is disable blur on sign-in screen. It's such a trivia thing, yet it makes me extremely happy.
The look of 11 is growing on me. It's cleaner and doesn't look toy-ish.
So I WANT TO LOVE THIS PROGRAM. it just doesnt work with my system. even with the plug in installed, it doesnt recognize my fans attached to my controller. and it is also giving me a no speed sensor detected message.
I like the startup sound, just make your favorite sound to a . WAV and set it as your startup sound and you have your personal sound when starting windows up....
It’s nice
So good!!! Keep it up man!!!🙌🙌 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🎃🎃🎃 Love all the videos man & the merch!!
Wish I could give more🙏
Hey, thanks man. Appreciate it.
The concern I have with all these tweakers is you don't know if you are creating security holes [apart from the obvious, like disabling windows updates]. For example, I disable power shell scripts by default, because a lot of malware uses power shell scripts. If you disable power shell scripts, you can still use power shell for individual commands. But if you want to play with something like this, enable power shell scripts, then afterwards, disable it again. Just my two cents.
As far as I know, using control-alt-delete to get to login is a good security feature. It makes it harder for someone to get access remotely.
I use this program too. There is another called Ultimate Windows Tweaker. Version 4.8 is for Windows 10 and 5 for Windows 11.
Thanks. I'll check it out.
I noticed that my wallpapers were not looking the same one day on Win10, I figured out that some of my wallpapers were .png files which looked the same whether they were being viewed or as a wallpaper. It was the .jpeg files that looked a little worse when they were applied as wallpapers. Thats when I did a google search and found Winaero for the wallpaper setting, I've been using it ever since.
You can actually kill the desktop wallpaper compression in the registry as well. I've noticed that highly detailed wallpaper with a lot of red color would always get a lot of jpeg artifacts (common for the color red when it comes to compression), so it forced me to look into it. Luckily it's not a reg setting that Microsoft got rid of...yet.
I like Winaero. been using it for quite sometime now !
windows by default compresses your wallpaper into a jpeg at 85 quality (it doesn't matter the resolution or file format)
10:30 The Windows Installer is disabled in safe mode, so you do not install virtual drivers with it.
Safe Mode does not "restirct" stuff, it is a seperate environment for drivers, that the normal mode *expands* on (and as such uses). In normal mode you override (system-)settings for the drivers rather than changing them for safe mode.
However when in safe mode, installing a virtual driver, you *might* chage these settings for the vritual device to work properly, which windows does not like and opposes the "clean" state of safe mode.
But I gotta say: Does not matter. Go nuts. You have to clean install windows anyways if something messes up your drivers lel. Also, the settings don't really matter for modern drivers anyways. Only the generic drivers get clunky and laggy (maybe). And the chance, you install the drivers this way is ... nowadays ... veeery low.
It makes sense for a win-dev but not for a dev on win lel.
chris titus has a great tool to use, that sounds funny saying this
I believe his tool is primarily for debloating. However, I haven't looked at it for a while.
I Really liked the days of 98 XP always something Kool to do with it.
definitely use this to disable windows update Especially on a computer that you depend on to work reliably and not go on its own self-imposed vacatioin that it may or may not return from.
Windows used to be so easy to use and tweak so it did just what you wanted it to do, then MicroSoft made it 'user friendly.'
Windows 11 user, have used it on 10, long time user of Winaero, gaming laptop and Windows 11 actually updates drivers wrong over OEM drivers downloaded from laptop website, so always after fresh install and let Windows run it's updates and driver installs, I then enable Disable Drivers updates with Winaero and then run the OEM drivers.
They need to update tweak programs to work with Windows 11 2022
I agree, they do. However many tweak programs are small projects that probably don't have the funding to stay as updated as they should be.
WPD (windows privacy dashboard) is also cool, but nowhere near as cool as Winaero Tweaker. That app is the goat
It's definitely overwhelming considering everything you can do with it.
@@CyberCPU my favourites: context menu take ownership and run with priority
Editing my computer folders
And lastly setting ram above split threshold
Nice video brother, enjoy the app 🤘🤘
Protection Against Unwanted Software is something I tend to disable. It often detects tweaks and otherwise innocuous files. And since Windows Defender doesn't ask you what you want to do, it can be a pain in the butt to override that.
Heck, I did that without WinAero Tweaker, not even knowing it was there.
you can use revo uninstaller for removing all of windows bloat easily, and also you can get rid of edge and edge view, its a paid software btw
I use Revo uninstaller. I haven't updated it in quite a while, do they not have a free version anymore?
@@CyberCPU there is a free version, but i like to support product i like, so i bought a pro copy,, btw its on sale now for 12$
yeah buddy !
Be careful with Customized thing's it can be Nighmare make sure no how to recover your system sometimes you can break Windows os . GOOD LUCK
It's always a good idea to create a restore point before playing with programs like this. However, this program specifically has a really good history system that shows all of the changes you've made just in case you need to go back and revert some changes.
I would like to rename windows to whatever I want it. maybe Door? Windows startup screen with Obama thumbs up.
Your content is so entertaining and opens many "Doors" for me.
Can this be run from a flash drive ? Awesome video Man !
i want a webpage as my wallpaper (even if that "web page" is locally stored)
Let's that's how active desktop worked in Windows 98.
Your videos are always informative I am so glad i discovered this channel a year ago!!! Love your content, Rich! ❤❤❤
Thanks, glad the channel is helpful.
Disable blur on login screen is my favourite
My issue with utilities like this is they get wiped out when MS releases their latest full OS version forcing you to reapply the tweaks.
Winaero Tweaker is personally my favorite app for tweaking my PC! It has so many options that suits your needs and also make my own good looking Windows
To display parameters BSOD reg setting. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl, Dword 32 bit, Name it "DisplayParameters" value 1, save restart
classic start shell is cool for that 7 look
StartIsBack is also pretty good
Win Aero Tweaker is AWESOME. Been using it since Windows 10. It works in 11.
And updates on my question about calling a Mouse SOMETHING other than a mouse? Or is it looking like we are just stuck with that one?
Who cares about cleaning up Win 10, it's the draconian Win 11 that needs to be fixed. We need to get rid of the Microsoft's Do-It-Our-Way, period, attitude. FIX THE TASKBAR, MICRO$OFT!!!! Give me back my NEVER COMBINE option!
I did a video a couple weeks ago that shows how to fix the taskbar and change the group icon settings. It's called, how to make Windows 11 look like Windows 10.
Sir, today I broke my office computer by doing split of the "C" drive partition by "EaseUS Free Partition Manager." First I ded the split and it works fine, but there were a 100MB drive there and I did format it and create a new drive of 100MB then I marge the drive with my "Drive C" partition. Now the boot is stuck and I dont even istall a new windows because It cant find any of my SSD. it says "Boot Device Not Found || Please Install an Operating system on your hard disk."
Sir, please help.
Causing a BSOD sounds like it's more of a malicious intent. Especially if using the app via portable.
Well the bsod itself was intentional. The setting specifically was meant to force a bsod for debugging purposes. Unfortunately in my case when I tested it it hosed the entire Windows install. I tested it again several times after fixing it and could never get the problem to repeat itself.
Nice Video I wonder if and when can I disable the Welcome Screen cause in Windows XP you can do that but not in Windows 10 I want more of a Windows 2000 Sign Screen.
Please do ps4 controller work with pc like full functional like console, audio work with inbuilt headphone jack in controller through wireless connection... Hope you find it , I was searching all the internet ❤️🙌🏻
Hi.
Have you covered the "ViveTool 0.3.1" - It allows us to get Explorer Tabs in Windows 11 (version 22H2)
No, I haven't. However, tomorrow's video is about that very subject. You don't need Vivetool anymore. You just need to install the latest feature update for 22H2.
I have used it on windows 11 mostly to kill adds and give myself access to a more traditional context menu plus the added context customization as well as on slower computers disable power heavy feature sets.
Also I agree there are things you should not mess with.
As for my experience with the program it works well with all the main tweaks that most users would modify for ease of use
I also enjoy the the classic tools and games portion of the tweaker.
Great videos. Glad I found the channel.
Good To See You Man. I Like Your Beared Face😃
I wish I will have a video On Removing Write Protection From SD/Pendrive.

off-topic: last night I was looking for a way to install windows 11 in my unsupported pc, which I did thanks to this channel, and when I finally see the results I was... dissapointed, I guess? I didn't know what to expect from windows 11 but I'm gonna spend more time with it. But the good thing is that I've found this channel.
Have you installed?
How is it compared to windows 10 for gaming, productivity, background apps etc??
What fun! Thank you very much! Agree that adding features to the context menu is really nice!
Nah, it doesn't look like windows 7, windows 7 looks like vista.
Chris Titus Tech actually authored a tool to customize Windows. I believe it works on both 10 and 11. You might want to check it out or maybe do a collab with him discussing it.
that guy is a fool
23:05 just write C: into adress bar and hidden drive will open. Drive is hidden but is accesable
@CyberCPU Tech, So I recently upgraded my potato (media pc, same spec as your potato) and I'm going to guess your already aware of this issue. But since 22H2 the usual trick to getting the classic taskbar context menu is cause Windows explorer to crash. Dont suppose your aware of a work around for this..?
Fyi I still used Win10 21H2 on my main desktop and Win11 is still way to unreliable due to WU's that brake OS functionality. I still mis Win7 (even 8.1 w/classic shell), but not its lack of dark mode.
I am aware of the issues. I made a video called, make Windows 11 look like Windows 10. That should fix the taskbar.
@@CyberCPU Ah ok, I did watch that but thought as that was an older video it didnt apply to 22H2, will go and re-watch after dinner! 🙂
@@spenmac I can't remember if that video was filmed on 22H2 or not. However I have since done it on 22H2 and it works the same.
@@CyberCPU So I had to do an Arconis restore back to 8.1 and then upgrade to Win 11 21H2 (needed Win11 to use the 8.1 key and keep my apps/data) instead of 22H2. For what ever reason the windows explorer hack for the classic taskbar was causing my potato to lock up. 21H2 has been solid and have it tweaked to retain some 10 features :-)
I have enabled the enter username on Lock Screen and I am stuck at the Lock Screen
Thank you for taking the time to show the details of this software.. I was unsure if it was safe to use.. (if you don't make stupid changes -- and use Common Sense).. Thanks Again. Just an FYI (They Removed) the ability to stop "Edge" from loading and running in the Background. (Choice is no longer available).. Or I Can't see it.. 😪😪
How to stop Win11 from automatically moving and resizing 2 windows ? It does so many times every day.
I have two browser dictionary windows, each sized to about 1/3 the screen width and 3/4 its height. I separate them by about 1/5 the screen width, with the left one near the left side.
But inconsiderate Win11 KEEPS JOINING AND RESIZING THEM!!
Why can't we control our own screen in Win11? Why?
As a writer needing a vital customized view for a particular mode of access to the screen elements, I need the dictionary windows positioned and sized according. But Windows is not allowing it.
win-aero-tweaker+desktopok+dexpot+rainmeter+coolbars+everything+winderstat+sysinternal process explorer+Hot virtual keyboard+bleachbit+speccy+Fast stone image viewer+VLCvideo player+LibreOffice = a very powerful windows 10 for me. just 30 bucks for the hot keyboard too.. Add foxitreader+cdisplayreader(for-Comics) +xnview+fotor(photos)+anyvideoconverter and there is not much you cant do.. quick cliq too almost forgot. thats the most vital+badasz stuff i have come across in the last 13 years of computing. a vid on each of these i would consider a community service. the only way im going to win 11 or up will be a situation like having to leave win 7 due to direct x support . my set up is too powerful and sweet to ditch if for try to be more haughty like apple win 11.
I have spent a ton of time trying to get my Win 11 Taskbar to show my double-stacked Quickstart on the left then open items then the double-stacked notification area far right. How can I accomplish that? I've tried several programs but have had no luck as yet.
I just ran across WinAero Tweaker a few days ago while trying to change the startup sound for Win11. Nowhere else did I find anything that was straightforward on how to do it - but accomplished it easily with this utility. Sure, much of what it does is simply customization and a fair bit of it is not necessary, but there's a bit of satisfaction in making the system behavior unique to you and some of the more "meat and potatoes" tweaks are truly useful and time saving.
I just subscribed and donated. Some questions. Do you have a video on the Windows Registry and have you ever run a comparison of 2 registries (like after a program install or using a tweaker like this one)? Is there a decent reg comparer for free?
Thank you so much for making this video tutorial
The features i use the most is running as trusted installer, it's my pc, on Linux my account is root i know what I'm doing and if i nuke my system, that's where backups are used.
Trusted installer is basically the windows version of root, it has access to everything, has all the authorization can delete system 32 without a single pop-up, my system i decide when to kill it
This is NOT an accurate program and you probably should not use it as a permanent installed software for your system. It's okay to play with on test system, but that's about it.
It shows my OS as windows 10 version 2004 20H1 Pro Build 19045 2130 which is wrong because if you look up that build you will see it is actually windows 10 pro 22H2 which is what I have.
It also shows my cpu as a Ryzen 9 3900, when I have a 3950X
There are several features that you displayed on this video which do not work on this newer version of windows 10, including changing the text in the search bar, some of the disable ads features, etc. etc.
When you choose some of those options, windows 10 will auto revert back to the way it was or not allow you to change those settings at all
I run O&O Shutup and I also run windows 10 manager to force remove MS apps like edge, cortana, phone, all of the xbox garbage, help and tips, suggested apps, top apps, etc, etc.
Science plus Just all the tweakers in 1 app
CyberCPU, i know i am commenting this 7 months later. But is winaero tweaker safe? i have repaired and reinstalled my system over 5 times already, i don't wanna ruin it again.
Sold me on changing window borders to something actually fricking visible. But wish we dint have to have Aero anything turned on to do so.
Thanks man
I HATE Winaero Tweaker!! Just like moset other Spamware, there is no info on REMOVING THIS LOUSEY SPAMWEAR.
If I'm not mistaken, it's a portable program. There is no install for it in the first place. Just delete what you downloaded and it's uninstalled.
Thanks!
Thank you.
As someone with vision issues that has recently undergone cateracts surgery making those issues somewhat worse for the sake of stabilizing what's left?
I love tweaker. It's a bit chunky to use but it gives back SOME of the fine granular control UI customization had in 9x, xp, vista, and 7. Why they went with this publicly facing 'oh you can only do things globally' nonsense baffles me.
Literally made windows useable again.
My favorite feature is disable automatic updates and any other restridted settings
A new version release yesterday for 11
Old new explorer, a shell extension which enables useful File Explorer features
Plz make a video on how to change cpu affinity on games that won’t let you I can’t find any info on this literally at all… call duty high cpu affinity access denied sad 😞
is there an option to remove windows admin shield from shortcuts? just visually and not actually removing admin, cant find it
Thanks very helpful
This was great! Enabled font size tweaking to better take advantage of higher resolution monitor : ). Thank you!
This program is worth it's weight in gold for the tool that lets you take ownership of any windows file from a right-click menu.
thanks for the link to the program. I will give it a try. Seems like I had programs that did this stuff with windows 8-8.1
Telemetry is used by Defender. Not a big deal on a retail PC but if it is managed by and organization, especially if they are using Defender or Intune, it should always be on.
gr8 to know, ima use a 3rd party anti virus now.... thanks a lot!
You should make a Video on What Windows 10 in S mode is..
I did a video on how to disable it and I explain briefly in that video what it is.
Q: If I install and make changes, then uninstall app do the changed get removed (revert)?
no
Does it improve gpu performance tho. I'm at my wits end.
Try settings plus
If you use something like this keep in mind you have to run it after every single Windows Update, since they will overwrite any custom settings you have and install things whether you've allowed it or not.
I've never noticed this. Are you sure?
thanks for the info dude!
You bet!
Ultimate Windows Tweaker for Windows 11
28:50 "Just because u have the ability to do something doesn't mean that u should". Free powerful statement/game
Love this video
Where did you find the beautiful desktop wallpaper?
Yeah I been using this software for years its great. I also use Ultimate Windows Tweaker, its also very good.
Do you know anything about getting Snipping Tool (version 11.2307.44.0)? It allows OCR extraction feature so you can extract text from screenshot images. I cant find it anywhere. I have Windows 10 on this computer and I really want that tool but I dont want to have to upgrade.
I’m only getting this to play puble palace.
Best tool ever made. Well, as far as memory serves anywho =)
Aero Glass is Missing, it needs that yo look like NT 6.1
My USB Flash couldn't be recognized by Win 11 laptop. I went all over the Internet for advice. My wife plugged it into her Android tablet. It was recognized and formatted. I took it back to my windows 11. It was recognized and reformatted. Thus, I saved a 32GB Flash drive from the wastebasket.
Moral of the story: Give the sh*t to your wife! They stumble on stuff the experts have yet to figure out!
Aero lite theme still works with windows 11 !!!
I tried it it works fine!!
Cool video btw!!!!
thx man
Your welcome.
