Winaero Tweaker

My all-in-one software.
I am going to do the following:
1. To merge over 50 my tools to one app.
2. To maintain and update it more frequently, providing support to new [Windows 10] builds and freshly discovered features.

It supports Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 and offers the following options:

Windows 10
Change Windows Update behavior which is locked to "Install updates automatically" in Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Enable the secret hidden experimental Date & Time pane which is not enabled by default in Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Enable the secret hidden experimental Login Screen which is not enabled by default in Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Switch between the old resizable Start menu and the new "Continuum" Start menu in Windows 10 Technical Preview.

Appearance
Tweak Aero colors (my famous "Aero Tuners" family is merged here)
Customize Shortcut Arrow
Customize Window Borders size
^these two above were also as standalone apps. Shortcut Arrow part's code is very improved now.
Slow down window animations - that Shift key trick
Sync Metro & Aero Colors(Windows 8/Windows 8.1)

Operating system behavior options
Disable "Look for an app in the Store" Notification(Windows 8/Windows 8.1)
Disable New Apps Notification(Windows 8/Windows 8.1)
Disable Aero Shake
Disable Aero Snap - i coded this to disable it with one click. I do not like Easy of Access center journey.

Boot and Logon options
Disable Lock Screen(Windows 8/Windows 8.1)
Don't display last login user name
Verbose Logon Messages
Enable CTRL + ALT + DEL logon requirement

User accounts
Disable or Enable UAC
Enable Built-in Administrator

Network options
Enable Network Drives over UAC
Enable TCP/IP Router

Pining options
Unblock "Pin to Start" for all files and folder in Win8/Win8.1

Here are few screenshots:






I will continue to improve the app. It will get more features and more "merged" apps from Winaero.
I plan to release a new build weekly.
Again, like my other apps, Winaero Tweaker is freeware. It does not require to be installed and works as portable all. Enjoy.

The latest verion is Winaero Tweaker 0.2.1
