The "v2.6 interface, perfected" release: the liquid-glass web dashboard is
restored as THE interface with a dedicated desktop window (WebView2 frame,
your default browser as fallback - any browser, never forced to Edge),
every 2.7/2.8 feature kept, plus new dashboard spotlights and the two
requested CLI launchers.
Added
- Dashboard Highlights - a live, clickable row of the newest modules
(Firmware & platform, Secure Boot, Driver ages, Games detected, Process
Reducer, Security Scan, DiskScope, Benchmark), filled from real machine
data as soon as the APIs answer, rendered from boot. - Featured pack categories - the Packs page opens on ★ "In the spotlight"
with the four flagship presets (Esport, Low latency, Fast clean boot,
Privacy lock-down), plus per-category chips; featured cards get an accent
border and a star. - New dashboard quick actions - Esport mode and Firmware join Scan /
Quick Optimize / Clean junk on the hero card. - OptimizeKit-Admin.bat - admin CLI launcher: offers UAC once (decline
= continue without admin), then the full numbered menu through the
PowerShell engine;/exeruns the compiled C++ CLI when present. - OptimizeKit.bat - the no-admin CLI launcher: numbered user menu, never
elevates, direct engine flags pass through (-Status, -Apply, -Profile,
-RestoreAll, -Silent, -Firmware, -Drivers, -Network, -Cleanup). - Fresh screenshots of every README view from the live v2.9 app.
Changed
- v2.6 launch chain restored, browser-agnostic - double-click opens the
web dashboard in the dedicated desktop WebView2 frame; if that window
cannot be created, the dashboard opens in the DEFAULT browser - any
browser, never forced to Edge. New--browserflag skips the dedicated
window on purpose. The D2D window stays available via--nativebut is
no longer a silent fallback. - Branding back to v2.6 style: "BIOS guide" nav label, "WINDOWS GAMING
CONTROL CENTER" splash tag, About text reworded (compiled C++20 + HTML/
CSS/JS interface, WormGPT-desktop architecture), version bumped to 2.9.0. - Settings: Firmware & drivers and Updates cards moved out of the accent-
bordered group; the firmware nudge setting now loads from config. - Engine version strings bumped to v2.9.
Removed
OptimizeKit-cli.batreplaced by the two dedicated launchers.
