(Original April 18, 2024): We reported about the Wintoys for the first time in April 2023. An app that allows you to quickly adjust Windows 10 or Windows 11 settings. Because these are very clearly arranged in individual categories. But of course there is more.
Since the last version 1.2.22.0, the app can also do “more” German. The most important change is that Wintoys has now also switched to .NET 8. The app therefore requires .NET 8. But there are many new functions. But first here is an animation of the app. (Just click on the image)

Here are a few more changes:

- Updated some border colors to be more visible in the dark theme
- The progress ring has been converted into a progress bar for changes to applications and services
- Process tracking for Win32 applications has been removed because it was unreliable (progress is now only shown for Store applications)

- Changed the service's context menu to disable startup mode if it cannot be stopped
- There were also many corrections under the hood.
