v2.3.0 — Tools Catalog & Typography Overhaul

🧰 79-Tool Catalog (new Tools view)

• 79 Windows tools in 9 searchable categories: System & Admin (16), Performance (10), Gaming (8), Network (8), Security (8), Storage (5), Display & Sound (7), Windows Settings (9), Power user (8)
• Every MMC console, control-panel applet, system utility and ms-settings: page — one click, no digging through Start menus
• Live search + category chips with counts; tool cards lift on hover

✍️ Typography overhaul

• Space Grotesk (self-hosted, SIL OFL) across headings, buttons, inputs and chips — the same geometric voice as modern product sites
• Two subsets (latin + latin-ext) shipped as woff2, served by the embedded server; no network font fetch

✨ Khadafi-grade polish

• Pill buttons with accent glow and press states, focus rings on inputs, lifting cards with corner arrows, tactile chips
• Verified live: themes (Magma/Ocean) still redefine every surface, sparklines included

No system changes on install — the exe runs standalone (or launch OptimizeKit.bat for the full CLI without the exe).

v2.2.0 — AnTuTu-style benchmark + 7 theme packs

Benchmark for real

• Composite score out of ~4000 — 1000 = mainstream reference (modern 8C/16T, DDR4-3600, NVMe Gen3). Every number measured on your machine, never invented.
• New single-core CPU test — games are ST-bound; you now see both. Weighted sub-scores: CPU multi 40% / single 15% / memory 20% / storage 25%.
• Fixed the old bench: the CPU kernel was optimized away by the compiler (fake huge numbers) and an int truncation made the total always 0. Kernel now has a real dependency chain; scores calibrated on a 10C/16T mainstream desktop.
• Bench view rebuilt — AnTuTu-style: big score ring, class (entry → high-end), verdict sentence, weighted bars with deltas vs previous run, raw values, 20-run history.
• First-run wizard suggests a benchmark — so before/after optimizing comparison exists from day one.

Themes that actually redefine the UI

• 7 full packs: Magma (crimson), Ocean (abyssal blue), Matrix (green), Violet, Gold, Steel, Rose.
• Each pack overrides background gradients, borders, glow and every chart color — not just the accent.
• Pack grid in Settings + pack swatches directly in the onboarding wizard. Persisted via config; ?theme=ocean deep link supported.

Polish

• Username chip removed from the header (it was noise).
• Wizard restyled: theme step → benchmark step → admin hint, WormGPT visual language.
• Version 2.2.0 everywhere, README EN/FR updated with benchmark + theme screenshots.

Safety

Unchanged: every tweak reversible, every apply snapshot-backed, -RestoreAll in the CLI.

SHA256: see checksums.txt.

v2.1.0 — 49 tweaks + standalone PowerShell engine (no exe needed)

The .bat now does everything — the exe is optional. One file, both modes, full CLI.

New

• 19 new tweaks (49 total): VRR, Optimizations for windowed games, Auto-HDR off, Game Bar off, MSI mode, GPU interrupt affinity, TCP BBR2, NIC / USB / PCIe power management off, bigger DNS cache, fast startup, taskbar & transparency tweaks, cursor trails off, balanced visual FX, recycle-bin confirm
• Single OptimizeKit.bat — menu (full kit with UAC / user kit / status / restore / dashboard) plus CLI passthrough: OptimizeKit.bat -Status, -Apply id1,id2, -Profile gaming|privacy|debloat|full, -Silent, -RestoreAll
• PowerShell engine v2.1 — full parity with the C++ catalog, -Status reads the machine (never a memory), DNS resolver benchmark, diagnostics (clock, DPC/ISR, jitter/loss, disk latency), one-key Restore All
• OptimizeKit-NIC.ps1 — hardware-aware NIC tuning: only touches advanced properties your adapter actually exposes, JSON backup + restore per adapter
• Settings → Language: English (base) / Français, persisted
• New Diagnostics view with honest measured numbers (CPU clock, DPC/ISR %, ping/jitter/loss, disk latency, running game detection)

Fixed

• v2.1 tweak ids had no apply branches (they returned "unknown tweak id" when clicked) — all wired now
• VRR wrote to the wrong registry path; PCIe ASPM restored to the wrong value
• Mouse acceleration values were written as REG_DWORD (Windows expects REG_SZ)
• Tweaks page: switches, badges and counters fully working; decorative emoji stripped

Safety

Every tweak still one-click reversible, every apply snapshot-backed to %LOCALAPPDATA%\OptimizeKit\backups, -RestoreAll returns the whole catalog to Windows defaults.

OptimizeKit v2.0.0 — Windows Gaming Control Center

⚡ OptimizeKit v2.0.0 — Windows Gaming Control Center

The biggest update yet: a complete UI overhaul with a new Gaming Center, instant tweak switches, animated boot splash, 6 accent themes and multi-store game detection.

✨ Highlights

🎮 Gaming Center — your machine scored 0–100 from the real state of gaming settings, with category cards (Performance / Latency / Background / Rendering / Storage) and every gaming switch grouped & one click away.

🎚️ Instant tweak switches — the Tweaks page is now a wall of iOS-style switches: click = apply (with registry snapshot + animated progress overlay), click again = restore Windows default. Live applied-count badge in the sidebar.

✨ Splash & animations — boot sequence (hardware → Windows → tweaks → network), animated apply overlay with per-step results, view transitions, theme picker with 6 accent colors (persisted).

🕹️ Multi-store game detection — Steam, Epic (VALORANT, Fortnite…), Riot, GOG, plus registry scan. Real icons extracted from the executables, per-game boost profiles.

🌐 Network Center — MTU slider with presets (Ethernet/PPPoE/VPN/Jumbo) + new /api/net/mtu, locale-proof parsing (works on French/German/… Windows), profiles, latency monitor.

🛠️ Fixes

• game ids are now exe-name based (profiles + icon cache safe)
• quoted DisplayIcon registry values handled
• DNS status trailing newline trimmed
• startup disable on HKLM shows a clear admin-required message
• exe icon + version 2.0.0 metadata

📥 Install

1. Download OptimizeKit.exe below (static, ~6 MB, no dependencies)
2. Put it anywhere with the web/ folder from the zip (or just run it — the dashboard embeds everything)
3. Double-click OptimizeKit-user.bat for the standard dashboard, or OptimizeKit-admin.bat for every tweak

Every tweak remains one-click reversible — registry backups land in %LOCALAPPDATA%\OptimizeKit\ before any change.

⚠️ Some tweaks (HAGS, timer resolution, power plans, network stack) require elevation — that's what OptimizeKit-admin.bat is for.

OptimizeKit v1.1.0 — WormGPT-style dashboard + live monitoring

🖥️ OptimizeKit v1.1.0 — WormGPT-style liquid-glass dashboard + live monitoring

The UI now reuses the DarkGPT design system from WormGPT-desktop: deep black + exclusive
#ff3d57 red accent, glassmorphism with moving specular sheen, red particles following the
mouse, background grid + noise + vignette, Inter & Space Mono fonts. Served by an embedded
C++ HTTP server (127.0.0.1:8765) and opened as a chromeless standalone app window.

🆕 What's new

• Live monitoring (PDH): CPU / RAM / GPU % with glowing 60-second sparklines, disk read/write
  MB/s, network down/up, process & thread counts, top processes by CPU (2.5 s refresh)
• Web dashboard — 8 views: Dashboard · Tweaks · Gaming · Privacy · Drivers · Network · Logs · About
• Embedded HTTP server (cpp-httplib) + JSON API (/api/monitor, /api/tweaks, /api/ping…)
• GPU driver version auto-detection (registry Display class), vendor pages, dxdiag, Device Manager
• --web [port] headless mode · --native keeps the v1.0 Direct2D window
• Everything still logged to %LOCALAPPDATA%\OptimizeKit\ with per-key .reg backups
