[2.8.0] — 2026-09-23

The "same interface everywhere" release: the exe now opens the web
dashboard in an app window
- pixel-identical to the browser dashboard -
and the launcher .bat/.ps1 work standalone (no exe required) with the full
module set in admin and non-admin menus. 24 PowerShell-only tweaks added for
full engine parity, plus fresh screenshots generated from the live UI.

Changed

  • Web dashboard is the default window - double-clicking the exe opens the
    WebView2 frame hosting the embedded dashboard: exactly the interface users
    know from the browser (themes, Ctrl+K palette, games library), with no Edge
    window, no tabs, no address bar. If the WebView2 runtime is missing, the app
    silently falls back to the native Direct2D dashboard instead of opening a
    browser. --native forces the D2D window; --app still works.
  • Better app frame - dynamic window title follows the dashboard tab, F5 /
    Ctrl+R reload works, context menu enabled for copying values, dark title bar
    kept.
  • OptimizeKit.bat is a complete module menu (no exe needed): full/user
    kit, status, individual tweaks, network center, junk cleanup, firmware,
    drivers, restore-all - plus [D] app window and [W] web dashboard entries.
  • OptimizeKit-cli.bat works without the exe - routes everything through
    the PowerShell engine; /exe opt-in flag uses the C++ CLI when built.

Added

  • 24 new tweaks in the PowerShell engine (71 total, parity with C++):
    Widgets removal, Location tracking, Services-to-Manual + svchost tuning,
    Delivery Optimization, Consumer features, Store search, End-task on
    taskbar, WPBT block, Razer block, Notifications, IPv4-prefer / IPv6-off /
    Teredo, Disk cleanup + WinSxS trim, Hibernation off, Verbose BSoD, Long
    paths, Game Mode (Win11), Edge/Brave debloat, UTC clock, Restore point -
    each with apply, restore and live status checks.
  • Firmware report in the PowerShell engine (-Firmware / menu 7): BIOS,
    Secure Boot, TPM, VT-x, hypervisor, pending reboot - read-only.
  • User tweaks menu in non-admin mode (pick-by-number, r<N> restores).
  • Fresh screenshots for every dashboard view (dashboard, tweaks, gaming,
    games, network, scan, storage, tools, bench, themes) captured from the real
    app via the ?view= deep link.
