v6.2 - Features and Fixes

Added

  • Added 70 new Windows tweak controls across AI, performance, power, optional features, services, scheduled tasks, Windows Update, networking, taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, NTFS, context menus, privacy, search, gaming, window management, sound, display, accessibility, security, developer, and power-user areas.
  • Added a redesigned multi-column Tweaks page using card-style groups and icon headers, matching the newer My Device layout.
  • Added a standardized four-line tooltip format for tweak controls, covering current state, click action, apply method, and deeper behavior notes.
  • Added a shared background runspace pool for expensive background tasks.
  • Added a deferred/background tweak-state refresh path so registry and feature state checks do not block the main UI during startup.
  • Added responsive Tweaks layout handling so cards adapt between one, two, and three columns based on window width.
  • Added a GPU driver reset action in My Device and Utilities for quickly restarting the graphics driver without using the keyboard shortcut.
  • Added new global-search entries for the expanded Tweaks controls and utility actions.

Changed

  • Updated WMT-GUI.ps1 app version to 6.2.
  • Reworked the Tweaks page from dense grouped rows into a broader card-based interface with more visible categories.
  • Expanded the unified toggle model introduced in v6.1 to many more tweak categories.
  • Improved tweak button state detection by caching registry values before applying state colors/text.
  • Improved startup responsiveness by queueing heavy My Device and Tweaks state work through the shared runspace pool.
  • Improved Windows optional-feature handling with more feature buttons and centralized state refresh.
  • Improved cursor handling by using a shared WPF busy-cursor helper around manifest and long-running dialog work.
  • Improved utility coverage with direct shortcuts to sound, display, keyboard, accessibility, developer, UAC, SmartScreen, Controlled Folder Access, and related Windows settings.

Fixed

  • Fixed the stuck hourglass cursor issue after viewing Winget app manifests and other WPF dialogs.
  • Fixed GUI lag/freezing caused by My Device and Tweaks state checks running at the same time during startup.
  • Fixed tweak-state refresh collisions by routing background checks through a job pool.
  • Fixed missing quick access for GPU driver reset requested in issue #134.
  • Fixed several tweak buttons so their visual state can be refreshed from cached system state instead of relying only on startup defaults.

Notes

  • The expanded Tweaks page checks many more registry keys and Windows feature states. Immediately after startup, some tweak colors/states may take several seconds to settle while the background state refresh completes.
