v6.4

Added

• Added persistent Background Jobs and Update Scans controls in Support & Credits for troubleshooting automatic My Device, Tweaks, tray, and package-scan activity.
• Added a Tweaks loading overlay that blocks interaction until the initial state cache is ready, preventing early clicks from using incomplete/default state data.
• Added Windows-version support detection for 3D Objects, Chat, Widgets, Activity History, CEIP, and Online Speech. Unsupported controls are disabled and display an explanation.
• Added progress and status feedback while Windows Event Logs are being cleared.
• Added a removable AppX package loader that uses Get-AppxPackage and falls back to DISM when the AppX cmdlets are unavailable.
• Added a shared New-WmtPooledPowerShell helper so isolated background work consistently uses WMT's configured runspace pool.

Changed

• Updated WMT-GUI.ps1 app version to 6.4.
• Changed View Services on the Tweaks page to open the existing Startup Manager directly on its Services tab.
• Reworked tweak refresh behavior so 115 of 122 handlers update only the affected button. The seven multi-control actions retain a full state refresh.
• Changed mouse speed and Enhanced Pointer Precision changes to native SystemParametersInfo calls so they update the live Windows state immediately.
• Improved mouse-acceleration state detection by checking MouseSpeed, MouseThreshold1, and MouseThreshold2 together.
• Reworked numerous provider, package, My Device, Tweaks, and registry jobs to use the shared PowerShell runspace pool.
• Improved runspace compatibility by supplying required registry-path conversion and helper functions inside pooled workers.
• Improved native-command output handling with explicit OEM/UTF-8 encoding per runspace where appropriate.
• Replaced all three powershell.exe -EncodedCommand launchers used by CHKDSK, SSD Trim, and Quick Fix with temporary .ps1 files launched through -File, reducing antivirus false positives.
• Added null guards to more than 30 event handlers across Firewall, Drivers, Cleanup, global search, Utilities, and system-tool controls.
• Hardened Set-WmtRegDword and Set-WmtRegString so protected or inaccessible registry values do not produce unhandled errors.
• Added error handling and themed failure dialogs to Firewall enable, disable, and delete actions.
• Extended the Take Ownership context-menu tweak to files, folders, and drives.
• Replaced more raw Windows message boxes with WMT's themed, owner-aware message-box helper.
• Improved NVIDIA quick actions by opening the newer NVIDIA App when NVIDIA Control Panel is unavailable.
• Removed redundant control assignments and the unused Test-WmtDirectoryHasEntries, New-WmtVirtualRows, and Show-AdvancedCleanupSelection functions.

Fixed

• Fixed the View Services crash reported in issue #141.
• Fixed mouse acceleration being shown as enabled when the threshold values indicated that Enhanced Pointer Precision was actually disabled.
• Fixed mouse speed and acceleration buttons changing registry values without reliably changing the live pointer behavior.
• Fixed tweak buttons becoming no-ops or showing the wrong state when clicked before the background cache had finished loading.
• Fixed 16 tweak controls accumulating duplicate click handlers every time all tweak states were refreshed.
• Fixed My Device sections failing to gather information after helper functions were not reliably imported into pooled runspaces.
• Fixed optional Windows-feature states failing to load correctly in the background worker.
• Fixed the Event Log cleaner and moved its work off the UI thread with visible progress feedback.
• Fixed the AppX list failing to populate correctly and ensured removal actions use each package's full package name.
• Fixed registry cleanup workers missing registry-path conversion support when executed through the pooled runner.
• Fixed obsolete-uninstaller cleanup emitting avoidable errors when protected registry keys cannot be removed.
• Fixed fragile message-box calls that passed string values instead of strongly typed WPF button, image, and result enums.
• Fixed duplicate compilation of the clock-format SendMessageTimeout native helper.

Notes

• Turning Background Jobs off prevents automatic My Device and Tweaks state loading until it is enabled again.
• Turning Update Scans off disables automatic, tray-triggered, and manual package scans in the current interface.
• The new background controls provide troubleshooting options related to issue #143; the broader Windows 25H2 report remains open.
