Warning

Use at your own risk. TweakHub is intended for experienced technicians and power users as a fast way to review and apply selected system changes. It is not a one-click optimizer, and its tweaks should never be applied blindly.

Some settings and scripts can reduce stability, performance or security, cause data loss, prevent Windows or connected hardware from working correctly, or—in exceptional cases—damage hardware. Review every preview, research changes you do not fully understand, and create a restore point and a verified backup before proceeding. You are solely responsible for the changes you apply and their consequences; to the maximum extent permitted by law, the authors and contributors accept no liability for damage to software, data or hardware.

Why TweakHub?

TweakHub is built to live on a USB drive. Extract it once, add your preferred tools, scripts, Registry tweaks, favorites and appearance settings, then carry the complete folder between PCs. Your portable configuration stays with the app instead of being scattered across every machine you maintain.

It runs as the current user and requests administrator privileges only when an operation requires them.

Highlights

Area What TweakHub provides
Registry & power Curated Windows 11 tweaks, automatic backups, verification and rollback
Portable profiles Custom tools, scripts, tweaks, favorites and appearance stored beside the app
Automation Built-in maintenance commands plus portable PowerShell and CMD scripts with preview, elevation, timeout and cancellation
Repair DISM, SFC and online CHKDSK repair workflow plus policy, update, network and memory diagnostics with portable logs
Toolbox Categorized Winget packages, trusted HTTPS links and user-created tool cards
Quick access Common Windows administration consoles and control panels in one place
Appearance System, light or dark theme with accent and transparency controls
Updates Confirmed in-app updates with SHA-256 verification

TweakHub supports Windows 11 build 22000 or newer.

The interface and installer support English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. TweakHub follows the Windows display language by default; an explicit language can be selected under About & Settings.

Download & quick start

Portable — recommended

  1. Download the portable archive from the latest release.
  2. Extract the complete archive to a USB drive or local folder.
  3. Run TweakHub.exe.
  4. Keep TweakHub.exe, portable.flag and the generated Data directory together when moving the app.

That folder carries custom tools, scripts, Registry tweaks, favorites, appearance settings, operation logs and rollback data between PCs.

Installer

The installer provides a conventional per-PC setup. Installed builds store user data under %AppData%\TweakHub instead of beside the executable.

You can also install or upgrade TweakHub with WinGet:

winget install --id PrimeBuild.TweakHub --exact

Note

Releases may be unsigned and can trigger a Microsoft Defender SmartScreen warning.

Portable data

Portable builds keep their state in Data beside the application files:

File Purpose
registry-backup.json Original Registry values waiting to be restored
power-backup.json Original power settings and active power plan
windows-update-backup.json Original Windows Update service and scheduled-task states
operations.jsonl Registry and power operation audit log
custom-scripts.json User-created PowerShell and CMD scripts
custom-tweaks.json User-created Registry entries
custom-tools.json User-created external-tool cards
favorites.json Favorite external tools
favorite-tweaks.json Favorite built-in and custom Registry tweaks
appearance.json Theme, accent and transparency preferences
pending-restarts.json Tweaks waiting for a Windows restart

Use About & Settings → Portable configuration to export or import the complete user profile as a .tweakhub.json file. Machine-specific rollback backups are intentionally excluded from profiles. Script and repair output is written to Data/Logs in portable builds. Successful built-in script runs are tracked per Windows user in %LocalAppData%\TweakHub\machine-script-history.json; this history never travels with the portable profile.

Caution

Do not delete backup files before restoring outstanding changes. When moving TweakHub, copy the complete portable folder—not only TweakHub.exe.

Memory and privacy tools

SysMain and Prefetch should normally remain enabled. Disable them only after measurements identify them as the source of a real problem; doing so can make applications and games load more slowly.

Empty Standby List requires Microsoft Sysinternals RAMMap from External Tools. Windows uses otherwise free RAM as cache and releases it immediately when applications need it. Emptying cached RAM routinely does not improve FPS or general performance and should not be scheduled.

The device-metadata and Windows Update driver policies affect different content: preventing device companion apps does not block every driver, while the driver exclusion policy omits packages Windows Update classifies as drivers. The Windows Update selector offers Default, Disabled and Security modes from a script bundled with TweakHub; Security keeps quality/security updates on their normal schedule while deferring feature updates for 365 days. High-risk AI removal and third-party hosts-list scripts always require explicit confirmation.

Build from source

Requirements: Windows 11 and the .NET 10 SDK.

git clone https://github.com/PrimeBuild-pc/TweakHub.git
cd TweakHub
dotnet restore TweakHub.sln
dotnet build TweakHub.sln -c Release --no-restore
dotnet test TweakHub.Tests/TweakHub.Tests.csproj -c Release --no-build --no-restore
dotnet publish TweakHub.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -o publish-standalone

CI/CD

Every push and pull request to main runs the Windows build and tests. A vX.Y.Z tag matching the project version publishes the self-contained portable archive, installer and SHA-256 checksums to GitHub Releases. After the initial WinGet package is accepted, later releases automatically submit an updated PrimeBuild.TweakHub manifest.

Generated binaries belong in Releases, not in Git.
