As Sergey Tkachenko explained, “I decided to release an all-in-one application which will include most options available in my free Winaero apps and extend it as much as possible.” As a matter of fact, functionality provided by various other Sergey Tkachenko applications is included into Winaero Tweaker. Even though this application is no longer being maintained, its functionality is not lost – it is part of Winaero Tweaker. The first one I came across is Windows Shortcut Arrow Editor, a tool that can be used to remove the classic arrow overlay from shortcut icons. Over time, Sergey Tkachenko published many applications on. The nice thing here is that you can do a lot with Winaero Tweaker: change the color scheme, choose how you want drive letters to be displayed, remove the shortcut overlay icon, disable the Start Screen power button, disable the lock screen, add “Pint to Start” context menu for all files, disable the new apps notification, disable UAC (User Account Control), and more.

As its name so adequately points out, its main purpose is to help you tweak your system. Launch Sergey Tkachenko’s Winaero Tweaker and the first thing you’ll see is some useful information about your system: what operating system powers your system, what processor handles your system’s requests, how much physical RAM your system has, the primary display’s resolution, and the system's Windows Experience Index (WEI) score.ĭisplaying information about your system is just part of the functionality Winaero Tweaker has to offer.
