[UI Improvements]
- Replaced setting tooltips with Settings Cards that contains a clear description about what a setting does. Closes #192
[Winhance Configs]
- Import: Users can now select between importing their own config file or the recommended Winhance config
- Import: Users can now select the sections they want to have applied and whether apps should be removed automatically or manually
- Import: Added a Winhance overlay screen that is displayed while config settings are being applied
[Windows Apps]
- Added "Select All Installed" and "Select All Not Installed" checkboxes. Closes #168
- Added a Help Button, when clicked, shows content where users can see which removal scripts and tasks are active (ie. BloatRemoval.ps1, EdgeRemoval.ps1 and OneDriveRemoval.ps1) and they can delete the scripts and scheduled tasks by clicking on the removal status icon.
- Reworked EdgeRemoval.ps1 script completely so it doesn't uninstall WebView and added better handling for removing the legacy version of Microsoft Edge (default on Windows 10 ISO's) Fixes #17
- Fixed an issue where features/apps are still auto-removed even after reinstalling them from Winhance by deleting and recreating the scheduled task, which should reset the task cache. Fixes #175
- Fixed "We can't open this 'microsoft-edge' link" due to edge removal and no default browser found. Fixes #38
[External Apps]
- Added installation status detection to indicate whether items are installed or not. NOT IMPLEMENTED: If installed, show if updates are available (updates indicator for windows softwares as well). (Not in the vision of this project at this time, it's recommended to use UniGetUI for Software Management) Closes #142, #165
- Added an icon next to each app in external software that when clicked, will take the user to the apps' webpage so users can get more info about the app before installing it, whether it is paid or free etc. Closes #142, #152
- Added various requested apps. Closes #170, #149, #202
- Added "Select All", "Select All Installed" and "Select All Not Installed" checkboxes.
[Power Optimizations]
- Improved the Power Plan combobox. Users can now see which plans are present on the system, which plan is active and also delete plans.
- Added toggles, selection and numeric controls that can be used to control powercfg commands on the currently applied power plan. (In the previous version of Winhance, importing the Ultimate Performance powerplan just automatically applied all "recommended" powercfg commands and there was no control over it) Fixes #84
[Gaming and Performance Optimizations]
- Removed the problematic mouse related settings (Smooth X/Y Curves) which caused Enhance Pointer Precision not to work. Closes #13
- Removed HPET Setting. Users reported system instability and that this setting is snakeoil anyway, not worth it.
- Added multiple new settings to feature. Closes #184
- Removed Unpark CPU Cores setting, this is now handled in the Power Optimizations.
[Taskbar Customizations]
- Fixed News & Interests/Widgets/Weather icon not being removed from the Taskbar due to being a protected registry key.
[Explorer Customizations]
- Added "End Task" to Taskbar right click menu for Windows 11. Closes #177
- Fixed "Disable Translucent Selection Rectangle" not working in windows 11 file explorer. Fixes #173 (Note, this setting is now in Gaming and Performance Optimizations under Visual Effects)
- Add toggles to remove "-Shortcut" Text, Add 'Show/Hide Extensions' to Context Menu. Closes #135
- Added toggle to show or remove the "open in terminal" option from right click context menu. Closes #162
- Added toggle to enable or disable Legacy Windows Photo Viewer. Closes #135
[Misc]
- Fixed a bug where multiple instances of Winhance could be opened at the same time. Fixes #196
- SoftwareApps: Fix incorrect (failure) dialog being shown when a single app installation is cancelled. (Removed cancellation dialogs completely)
- Major refactor of the codebase and how settings are detected and applied.
- Added filter toggle in mainwindow to toggle Windows version filtering of settings in Winhance
