104 Windows settings, labelled before you touch them.
Qwerty Tweaks tunes Windows for the hardware it is actually running on. Each setting is checked against your processor, graphics card and Windows build first, so one that would not work on this PC is never offered. Nothing is applied on its own, and every change switches back off.
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit.

What the labels mean
Every setting carries one of three labels, and the label is the app's own estimate of how much attention it deserves. These are the real totals for the whole catalogue, not a sample.
- Safe 73 Settings Windows users change routinely. Applied as soon as you switch one on.
- Moderate 26 Worth knowing about first, because a few have side effects on particular hardware. The app asks before applying one, unless you turn that confirmation off.
- Dangerous 5 Can affect stability or your data. The app always asks, and asks Windows for a restore point before it runs.
What it changes
Counts are what this build ships. A page only ever shows the settings your hardware and your version of Windows support, so your own list will be shorter than this one.

Alongside the settings
- Live readings
- Processor, graphics and memory once a second. Usage, temperature and clock speed come from separate sensors, so a busy part is not reported as a hot one.
- Startup manager
- What launches with Windows and what it costs, switched off without being deleted.
- Restore points
- Create, roll back and delete Windows checkpoints from inside the app.
- Registry snapshot
- Every change photographs the keys it touches first, so it can be put back exactly.
- Driver updates
- The drivers meant for this PC, kept apart from the ones that are not.
- Cleanup
- Shows what can be freed before it removes anything, and removes only what you tick.

What it does not do
- Nothing runs by itself. Every setting is one you switch on.
- Nothing is sent anywhere. There is no account, no sign-in and no telemetry, and the privacy page lists everything the app writes to your PC.
- Nothing has to be permanent. Every change has a switch back off, and the risky ones ask Windows for a restore point first.
We do not guarantee a performance improvement. The app turns on settings Windows already has, and how much you notice depends on your PC and what you run on it.
