Tweaks and scripts (compared with Sparkle, Winhance, WinUtil and FR33THY)

  • New: reduce telemetry, disable suggested content and silent app installs, remove Bing from Windows search, taskbar End task, disable Fast Startup, detailed blue screen.
  • Windows AI policies also turn off Copilot, Recall snapshots and Click to Do.
  • Optimize presentation for independent flip: HAGS, windowed-game flip model (the other DirectX settings are kept in place), fullscreen optimizations and MPO on, Game Mode. Disable fullscreen optimizations stays for undo but is no longer recommended.
  • Low-latency network preset (opt-in, per adapter): vendor read from the hardware ID; Intel and Realtek Ethernet get interrupt moderation and EEE/power saving off, Intel Wi-Fi gets power saving and packet coalescing off. A setting changes only if the driver declares the off value; other adapters are unsupported and the tweak shows why. Removed and virtual adapters are skipped. With several supported adapters the user picks them.
  • Limit background Windows Update downloads to 30%: separate tweak, always available.
  • Restoring a composite tweak skips values that were never backed up, so users of older versions can still undo tweaks that gained values.
  • Built-in Temporary Files Cleanup script: files older than one day, never follows junctions.

Security (Follow the White Rabbit, 394 links reviewed)

  • Hash-only MalwareBazaar search in File analysis; AbuseIPDB check for connections to public IPs.
  • Catalog: Have I Been Pwned, Cover Your Tracks, Privacy Guides, urlscan.io, Nuclei. Surveillance, intrusion and leaked-credential resources are deliberately left out.

Migration

  • Settings → Portable configuration → Import from another copy: profile through the validated import, undo backups where the new copy has none, missing Apps files, then restart. Tested with v1.4.2 data files.
  • In-place updates (in-app updater, installer) already keep all data; data file names and profile version are unchanged since v1.4.2.

Checks

  • Build: 0 warnings. Tests: 209/209.
  • Still to test in a VM: applying and restoring each new tweak, the network preset on Intel/Realtek NICs, HAGS after reboot, and the import from a real v1.4.2 portable folder.

- New tweaks: reduce telemetry, disable suggested content and silent app
  installs, remove Bing from Windows search, taskbar End task, disable Fast
  Startup, detailed blue screen.
- Windows AI policies now also turn off Copilot, Recall snapshots and Click to Do.
- Optimize presentation for independent flip: HAGS, windowed-game flip model
  (keeps the other DirectX settings), fullscreen optimizations and MPO on,
  Game Mode. Disable fullscreen optimizations is kept for undo but no longer
  recommended.
- Low-latency network preset: interrupt moderation and Ethernet power saving
  off on physical adapters (only keywords the driver exposes) and background
  Windows Update downloads capped at 30%. Opt-in, fully restorable.
- Restoring a composite tweak skips values that were never backed up, so
  tweaks that gained values stay restorable for existing users.
- Built-in Temporary Files Cleanup script that never follows junctions.
- File analysis: hash-only search on MalwareBazaar.
- System: AbuseIPDB reputation check for connections to public addresses.
- Catalog: Have I Been Pwned, Cover Your Tracks, Privacy Guides, urlscan.io, Nuclei.
Settings > Portable configuration > Import from another copy takes an older
portable folder, its Data folder or an installed %AppData%\TweakHub. The
profile goes through the validated import, undo backups are copied only where
the new copy has none of its own, missing Apps programs are copied, then
TweakHub restarts. Covered by a test with v1.4.2 data files.

… limit

- Reads the vendor from the hardware ID and applies only documented settings:
  Intel and Realtek Ethernet (interrupt moderation, EEE and other power saving)
  and Intel Wi-Fi (power saving and packet coalescing). A setting is changed
  only when the driver itself declares the off value; other adapters are not
  supported and the tweak is shown as unavailable with the reason.
- Skips removed (NotPresent) and virtual adapters.
- With more than one supported adapter the user picks them; the choice is
  saved and travels with Import from another copy. Restore puts back every
  adapter value the preset changed.
- The 30% background Windows Update cap is now its own tweak, always available.
- Windows Update preset restore now covers every value the script sets;
  HKLM\ and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ share one backup
- Restoring values that never changed skips the elevated script, so a
  declined UAC no longer asks twice or leaves stale backups
- Power tweaks restore the previous plan before backing up a new one and
  write through powrprof without UAC
- Apply all no longer backs up tweaks it does not apply; Apply all and
  Restore all offer one elevated restart
- Beta channel also sees stable releases
- DNS backup adds adapters from later applies
- Third-party script consent is tied to the script's SHA-256; the
  downloaded copy is what runs
- Release action pinned to a commit; lock around registry backups
- Mouse acceleration is a regular composite tweak; flip model leaves
  multiplane overlay to Tweak check; small cleanups
