Winaero Tweaker – The Windows Your Way Tweaker

Winaero Tweaker
The “Windows Your Way” tweaker

We featured Winaero Tweaker a few years ago. Today (June 23, 2021), we revisited it to see what is new for Windows 10 and we found many new tweaks that we think will appeal to a lot of Windows 10 users.

If you’re using Windows 10, you will find that Winaero Tweaker has hundreds of Windows 10 tweaks and customizations to make Windows 10 work more the way you want it to.

According to the developer, the newest version of Winaero Tweaker now includes all the free Winaero apps…

“After years of development, I decided to release an all-in-one application which will include most options available in my free Winaero apps and extend it as much as possible. I would like to introduce Winaero Tweaker – universal tweaker software which supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Here are some of the things Windows 10 users can easily do with Winaero Tweaker.

Change the color of things like title bars & Start menu
Turn on Dark Mode
Turn on Light Mode
Disable Driver Updates in Windows Update,
Disable Live Tiles
Disable Balloon Tips
Disable Cortana
Disable the Lock Screen
Change the Lock Screen background
Customize the Context menu (right-click menu)
Remove arrows from desktop shortcuts
Remove item names from desktop shortcuts
Disable Windows 10 Telemetry (prevent Windows 10 from Phoning home)
Install the old Windows 7 Games (Backgammon, Spades, Checkers Chess, FreeCell, Purble Place, Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire, Hearts, Mahjong, and Minesweeper.
Get the Windows 7 version of Windows Photo Viewer.
…. and dozens and dozens more Windows tweaks and features.

One of the best features of Winaero Tweaker is what we called the “built-in mess-up protection feature” – that’s our name for it, not the developers.  If you mess something up, you can reset everything back to default by opening Winaero Tweaker and pressing CTRL+R. And if you only want to reverse the tweaks and changes that you made, you can do so by opening Winaero Tweaker, clicking on “File > Reverse all tweaks”. Folks, it doesn’t get much easier than that.
