Love this tool. Fits perfectly to your WIMUtil. Installed windows on PC for my girlfriend some weeks ago and yesterday evening, after my windows crashed out, on my PC. Today I saw this tool. Perhaps you can build it optionally within your WIMUtil for unattended install? But some programs and tools are missing. It's not much. For the game clients, i miss Good old Games. As remote tool I use parsec, what is missing. The Zen Browser is included (<3) but I miss LibreWolf. And my favorite macOS like Dock tool nexus isn't in. When they are included, gets the mess to setting up windows a way less! All the other stuff of my have to's included! As Registryshutdown tool I sill use O&O ShutUp10 to deactive the left options. There are some more options than your tools provides till yet. No front, it's hard work to filter and study all the keys there and find the sweet spot for stability. And this project is young. And btw: the HPET is snakeoil. Deactivation only makes Windows think 1 second is 1 second, but in realtime it can be 2 or more seconds. So in calculation the FPS gets the double in reality it's the same as before. No real improvement. But it's not that dangerous. |

Unsure if I am adding this to the rightr place, but I had a few feature requests for Winhance. It would be really cool if Librewolf browser was one of the install options and a checkbox to allow for the Widevine and OpenH264 DRM plugins to be installed along with it as Libewolf doesn't have them by default. Librewolf ads much stronger privacy control features over Waterfox but getting the DRM plugins can be a bit tricky. I am unsure if this is something that is possible with Winhance (Also nice addition with Ungoogled Chromium it can be pesky to build it yourself! Another feature that would be cool is having preset options, like a power saving preset or a gaming preset to get a quick start on things. Lastly it would be really cool if the descriptions for certain toggels could warn you of issues with peripherals, for example the Razer hyperpolling mice recommned to disable pointer precision for 2000, 4000 and 8000 polling rates to work properly and extra mouse settings outside Razers suite can effect performance. Overal winhance has become an ultimate powertool for me on my PC and especially on my Rog Ally X , it ust helps immensly and have used the programme many times for friends on their systems to their joy, thanks for this its been super handy! |

Hi! Great app. Some more customization in that section. When you want to customize you can select now and it is applied. There should be some indication that the chosen have been appllied. |

Hello, my two suggestions regarding software installation options are GameSave Manager, a program for gamers to rip saves, and Hekasoft Backup & Restore, a tool for backing up browser profiles, email programs, and restoring them. Regarding the latest version 25.11.03, I encountered two small “bugs” in the External Software section. Microsoft 365 is marked as installed, but I have a clean LTSC WIN 10 system and do not have it installed. Secondly, I don't know why I couldn't enable the restoration of the old photo browser (maybe because it's LTSC?). Translated with DeepL.com (free version) |

I installed Win 11 Pro and the latest version of Winchance #9; two other programs I can recommend are Tuta Mail desktop—a free alternative to Proton mail—and DeepL—a much better translator than Google Translate, for example. This time I found only one tiny bug: after opening Windows Security, everything is in English, even though the system was originally downloaded with this -- Windows 11 Media Creation Tool 10.0.26100.7019 Polish.

Having something like this, "Quick Assist" in two places in the same application where one instance is active another is not, does this cause any problem?

Is there any chance to ad "HiBitUninstaller" app (https://www.hibitsoft.ir/Uninstaller.html), app that is freeware and works better than many paid ones. I use it for more than several years. |

Thank you for all your hard work on WinHance. It’s seems like an amazing program that will save so much time and headaches. I have a couple questions though.. WinHance will uninstall apps if they are installed manually and not through the program itself. Does that only apply to the apps that are available through the WinHance interface or does it affect all apps you install outside of the program as well that are not available on Winget? Sorry if that’s a dumb question! Also, it would be unreasonable for me to ask you to add every app I want to install from the Winget repository to WinHance. There are too many! Would it be possible for me to do it myself and update the generated .xml file to include apps I want? |

PLEASE HELP! Hello and again Thank you! It worked, so far, on my Lenovo IdeaPad but on my cyberpowerpc it seemed to blowout the display signal to the monitor before it even installed. all cords and connections were cleaned and thoroughly checked, all was working before I slipped my thumb drive in for the install. Any suggestions? |

Winhace has come along way, been using this app from your first post. Request 1 ? Transparent Taskbar as in Windows 10 ? I am guessing no ! ? I like a super clean Windows desktop. Win 11 25H2 lets you remove Recycle Bin from desktop but you can only PIN to Start Menu. Request 2 ? Is it possible to add a Recycle Bin icon to the Taskbar as a toggle switch in Winhance ? The current way to add Recycle Bin icon to the Taskbar is to create a new shortcut on desktop. %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe shell:RecycleBinFolder Name the shortcut "Recycle Bin", Click "Finish" Go to properties of the shortcut. Go to Change Icon %SystemRoot%\System32\SHELL32.dll Find the Empty Recycle Bin Icon, select it. Click "OK" Right Click the new Recycle Bin Shortcut, Click "Pin to Taskbar". Delete the Shortcut you created. |

I prefer to fetch optimizing tools when needed instead of keeping them permanently installed on my device. Would uninstalling Winhance revert any tweaks made inside the program? From what I have read it should be fine, but I just want to double check. |

Hi Memory, You’ve created an excellent tool that lets us install Windows 11 without all those annoying extras that the folks in Redmond force on us. Thanks for your efforts. I’ve recently discovered an interesting hack that I’d like to integrate into the XML file generated by Winhance to prevent Copilot from being installed. I know your ‘UnattendedWinstall’ uninstalls a lot of bloatware, but this way an even cleaner installation is achieved without needing to remove anything. Please take a look at this web page and let me know how I could integrate that hack into the generated answer file (if possible). In the generated answer file there are two sections: one that begins with ‘ADD YOUR SYSTEM WIDE POWERSHELL SCRIPT CONTENTS BELOW’ and another that begins with ‘ADD YOUR USER SPECIFIC POWERSHELL SCRIPT CONTENTS BELOW’. Which would be the most suitable? As a suggestion to improve Winhance, you could include that hack in a future version as an option in the advanced tool for generating the unattended XML file. I think many users would appreciate it. One last question: Can I use the "$env:SystemDrive" environment variable in the 1st section for system-wide custom user code? The thing is, I don’t know if at that setup stage Windows has already set the environment variables with system information. Many thanks in advance and keep up your good work! |

^ The Winhance created XML already removes Copilot during the install IF you select that Windows app to be uninstalled. I don't see the need for a 2nd uninstall ? Microsoft is also slowly allowing you to uninstall : https://www.howtogeek.com/every-windows-11-user-uninstall-copilot-even-managed-devices/ |

Hi Memory, I think it would be useful if Winhance allowed users to create an answer file for a device with different hardware to that of the device on which the tool is running. You could add an option to Winhance to display all possible configurable settings, notifying the user of any settings that are not compatible with the current hardware. It would be similar to the existing option to show/hide Windows 11-specific settings when Winhance is running on Windows 10. This new option could also include laptop-specific settings which are not displayed on desktop PCs, such as those related to the battery. In fact, my intention was to create an unattended answer file on my desktop PC to install Windows 11 on my new laptop using the generated XML file. Thank you. |

Hi Memory I used Winhance to debloat Win10 22H2 with 0patch taking care of critical fixes via micro-patches. Accordingly I cancelled all things Microsoft. Post-editing as I just found you covered some basics of this on March 27 2026 in https://youtu.be/evWz8HlSSaA?si=avmILDR4GPIKrYEi Required Secure Boot Certificate Updates for my machine: Note The kicker is that while MS issued KB5036210 including Windows UEFI CA 2023 in 2024-25, they only issued Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023 in Feb 2026 as part of KB5075912 (February 2026 cumulative ESU update). This would require an ESU subscription (due to end in October 2026) which would use Windows Update to load their security update. I see Winhance can permit this from the YouTube video. I ask you to consider the following enhancement as I know you have built a Powershell executable: do you see any method of providing UEFI BIOS security certificate updates / maintenance / settings access through Winhance? Resources: I do not currently have Microsoft update KB5075912 but I may have KB5036210 (if that is still lingering on my machine) I haven't researched the other pair: Microsoft UEFI CA 2023; only for 3rd party What would really help: Also need access to UEFI settings to keep Secure Boot enabled or enable Secure Boot; also to Disable BIOSConnect and HTTPS Boot and to Set a BIOS Administrator Password |

Would it be an idea to indicate what the recommended settings is (and maybe why) when one hovers over the "Recommended" banner (and the same for "Default"? Even more fancy (?) would be that the user can simply click the "Recommended" (or "Default") banner and immediately set the value |
