There is a good chance that you would like to hand Windows to your hand. Of course you can use the built -in functions for this, but they soon fall short. Winaero Tweaker has been around for many years and deserves a place on the desktop. With the free program you can adjust Windows settings that are normally inaccessible.

The program is made up of a number of categories, which you see on the left in the main window. Settings specifically for the Windows version used can be found in a separate category. A good example of this is the optimization of the right mouse button menu: you can, for example, switch to the classic variant from earlier Windows versions, which does show all options in one go. The number of setting options goes reasonably far: this requires the necessary caution and restraint. For example, we find the option to permanently disable important parts such as Windows Update and Windows Defender. As far as we are concerned, the makers can add a little more warnings in these areas. There are also radical adjustments that cause a lot of ease of use, such as the possibility of opening an app with administrator rights without seeing a confirmation. Winaero Tweaker also helps improve your privacy: this way you can easily block the forwarding of user data. For those who like Windows ‘tweaking’, Winaero Tweaker is an interesting asset for your machine.
