TweakUIX: Replicate TweakUI functionality on Windows

TweakUIX is a free, open source tool for Microsoft Windows devices designed to replicate the functionality of the classic TweakUI tool for Windows 10 and 11.

Classic Tweak UI released as a PowerToys tool for Windows 95. It provides Windows users with the option to customize certain user interface features.

The developers of TweakUIX, known for programs like ThisIsWin11, PrivateZilla or CleanMgr, have decided to bring TweakUI back to modern versions of Windows. The open source program supports customization options as well as the option to remove features from Windows devices.

After downloading from the GitHub project website and extracting it to your local system, you can run TweakUIX immediately. The interface is divided into two parts: a sidebar on the left listing categories and search options, and options for saving or loading templates and an activity log on the right.

Adjustment options are divided into groups, for example, My Computer, Paranoia, or Privacy. Each adjustment can be selected individually by checking its box. Most titles are self-explanatory, and some tweaks reveal additional information when you hover your mouse over them.

While you can browse the list of adjustments group by group and adjust them one by one, you can also activate the Check button to automatically check the suggestions; this saves time , but it's recommended to double-check the checked list of adjustments to make sure there aren't any changes that shouldn't be made.

Click the Apply button to directly apply the selected adjustments. There is no confirmation message at this point, but you can activate the Undo button to undo all changes made using the application. The option to create restore points is somewhat hidden under Settings in the list of adjustments.

Here is a short list of what you can do while using the application:

• Remove the fax printer and XPS document writer.
• Disable Microsoft Teams on startup.
• Create a restore point.
• Show hidden files, folders, drives and file extensions in Explorer.
• Disable Widgets, Snap Assist, Search Icon and other desktop related options.
• Enable dark theme for Windows and/or applications.
• Run disk cleanup.
• Block Windows Telemetry.
• Disable Game DVR.
• Disable power throttling.
• Disable more than a dozen features that may impact privacy.
• Disable application permissions.
• Remote bloat software application.
• Install necessary applications.
