What changedin ResoTweak.

ResoTweak 1.7.9.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• The app no longer switches to "No internet connection" (and flashes black) when Windows briefly reports a network change, for example from a VPN or a virtual network adapter. It checks resotweak.app first, and a page that fails to load once is loaded again. Every switch to the offline page is now logged with its reason.
• Crashes showed "??" as the drive for a damaged file system (and "chkdsk ?? /f" cannot work). The drive letter is now found from the volume; volumes without a letter (recovery partition, WSL, Docker or virtual machine disks) are explained instead.

ResoTweak 1.7.8.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Crash assistant in PC Health > Crashes. Problems that keep happening are marked, and each one gets concrete next steps: update the graphics driver, test the memory with Windows Memory Diagnostic, check the drives, or undo the last optimization when the problem started within 3 days after it.
• Graphics driver check. PC Health warns when the graphics driver is older than 6 months or when recent crashes name a graphics driver file, with a link to the official NVIDIA, AMD or Intel download page. On PCs with two graphics cards the dedicated one is checked.
• Send to ResoTweak. A crash can be sent to the ResoTweak team with one click so we can look for the cause. You see exactly what is included and confirm it first.
• Send to support (PC Health > PC report). One click sends a diagnostic report (versions, PC summary, crashes from the last 30 days, graphics driver, recent optimizer changes and the end of the app log) and opens a support ticket with it.
• Nothing is sent without your confirmation. Windows user and PC names, personal folders, e-mail addresses, IP addresses and tokens are removed on your PC and again on the server. No files or memory dumps are sent. Support reports are deleted after 90 days.

ResoTweak 1.7.7.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Fixed the window flickering when ResoTweak opens. When resotweak.app sent an expired session to its home page, the app treated that as a lost connection and looped between the reconnect screen and sign-in.
• If resotweak.app refuses the saved session twice in a row, the sign-in screen now waits for you instead of signing in automatically again.

ResoTweak 1.7.6.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Startup → DNS shows which DNS your PC uses right now, for every connected adapter, and refreshes it after a change.
• "Recovery data needs attention" now says why (for example changed folder permissions or a backup this version cannot restore), names the Optimizer or Game Booster backup and points to the log with details.
• Restoring the window from the taskbar while it is still minimizing now brings it back instead of leaving it minimized.
• DNS progress and results are matched to the request that started them, so the Optimizer and the DNS tab never take each other's updates.

ResoTweak 1.7.5.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• When the internet comes back, ResoTweak returns to your dashboard (or to sign-in if the session ended) instead of opening the resotweak.app home page.
• PC Health → Crashes: the list now scrolls on its own, opening a problem closes the one that was open and brings the new one fully into view.
• Startup → DNS: "Apply fastest DNS" no longer opens a stuck "Preparing optimization" window. Progress and the result are shown on the DNS tab, including the DNS servers Windows reports after the change, so you can see it really changed.

ResoTweak 1.7.4.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• The old offline mode is gone. Without internet, ResoTweak now shows a simple screen that reconnects by itself every few seconds and opens the app again the moment you are back online.
• Dragging the window by its title bar works on the reconnect screen.

ResoTweak 1.7.3.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• A new automatic sign-in greeting: a ring of light and a glint across the logo, "Good evening" with your name in the ResoTweak gradient, and a "Workspace ready" chip with your PC score counting up.
• New animated screens for a blocked account (the lock shakes), an expired subscription (the hourglass turns while the ring runs out) and a missing subscription.
• Every start-up problem screen now uses the same animated emblem, with the heading, text and buttons sliding in one after another.
• The light sweep across the start-up logo no longer leaves a ghost of the logo beside the T.

ResoTweak 1.7.2.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• A smoother automatic sign-in with a personal greeting and an animated ready confirmation.
• Clear animated screens for a blocked account and an expired or missing subscription.
• Minimize and Close now work on sign-in, dashboard and connection screens, including cached pages.
• The ResoTweak logo no longer highlights itself after automatic sign-in. Keyboard navigation is preserved.
• Removed the Open offline tools option from the connection screen.

ResoTweak 1.7.1.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

Maintenance release with stability fixes. ResoTweak installs it automatically after you close the app.

ResoTweak 1.7.0.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Internal hardening. ResoTweak's program files are now protected against tampering and casual reverse engineering. Nothing changes in how the app looks or works for you.

ResoTweak 1.6.7.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• ResoTweak looks the same on every display. The window used to be a fixed 1250×950 pixels, so at 100 % scaling (or in a virtual machine) the page got more room, smaller text and a different layout. Now the page always has the same layout and the window is sized for the display: the same physical size as other apps at your Windows scale, on big screens at a low scale the same share of the screen as on a 4K monitor at 150 %, and never larger than the screen. Moving the window to a display with another scale resizes it the same way.
• Admin commands (sudo): the new command window always asks Windows for administrator rights itself, so it is an administrator window even when ResoTweak was started without them. ResoTweak also writes to its log why a program could not be started.
• Notifications no longer make Edge show "cannot read and write its data directory" (C:\Program Files\ResoTweak\ResoTweak.exe.WebView2) - they keep their data in your profile.

ResoTweak 1.6.6.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Admin commands (sudo) no longer end in "Unknown error: Access denied (0x80070005)". Windows' own sudo reaches into the open command window to run the command there, and on many PCs Windows or security and anti-cheat software block exactly that. ResoTweak now always uses its own sudo, which asks Windows the normal way (the same Yes prompt as when you start ResoTweak): type sudo before a command in a new Command Prompt or PowerShell, confirm it, and it runs in a new administrator window. If Admin commands are already on, it switches over by itself when you open Settings.

ResoTweak 1.6.5.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Admin commands (sudo) no longer fail with "Unknown error: Access denied (0x80070005)" on PCs with Windows 11 Administrator protection turned on. Windows' own sudo cannot work with Administrator protection, so ResoTweak now uses its own sudo there automatically: type sudo before a command in a new Command Prompt or PowerShell, confirm it, and it runs in a new administrator window. If you already turned Admin commands on, nothing to do - it switches over by itself when you open Settings.
• Removing ResoTweak also removes its sudo command.

ResoTweak 1.6.4.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Settings > App > Admin commands (sudo). Turn it on, open a new Command Prompt or PowerShell and type sudo before a command that needs administrator rights, for example sudo chkdsk C: /f. After one Windows confirmation it runs as administrator - no more "Access denied" and no need to reopen the window as administrator. On Windows 11 24H2 and later this turns on Windows' own sudo (the command runs in the same window); on older Windows, ResoTweak shows the command and runs it in a new administrator window after you confirm it.
• Searching in the Uninstaller no longer shows the empty "Removal history" panel above the results.
• The step from the uninstall review to the Removal center no longer flickers: the dialog glides to its new size instead of doubling for a moment.
• Feedback you send now also arrives on the ResoTweak Discord right away.

ResoTweak 1.6.3.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• PC Health has a Crashes tab. It reads what Windows itself recorded over the last 7, 30 or 90 days - blue screens, sudden restarts and power losses, app crashes and freezes, graphics driver resets, crashed services, hardware and drive errors - and groups repeats of the same problem. Each one says in plain words what happened, what the likely cause is (the app, Windows, a driver, another program, the hardware or the power) and what to try next, with the technical details one click away. Everything is read on this PC; nothing is uploaded. Inspired by PulseDiagnostics (MIT, Regncreative).
• Cancelling an uninstall no longer leaves "Verifying removal" blinking for a long time: ResoTweak waits only for programs whose uninstaller really ran, and stops waiting when you cancel.
• When Steam or another launcher asks you to confirm the uninstall in its own window, ResoTweak now says so instead of looking stuck.

ResoTweak 1.6.2.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Clean and optimize no longer stops with "Cleanup paused while TrustedInstaller is running" when nothing is being installed. Windows keeps its installer services running idle for a long time, also right after a restart; ResoTweak now pauses only while a setup or a Windows update is really working.
• Uninstalling a game that was already removed (for example a Steam game whose folder is gone) no longer hangs. ResoTweak recognises it and only removes the leftover Windows entry. For games that are still installed, Steam, Epic and other launchers show their own uninstall dialog, and ResoTweak waits until the launcher has removed the game.
• "Stop after current" now really stops: after a few seconds ResoTweak stops waiting for a publisher uninstaller that does not finish (it is never force-closed).
• The Minimize button in the title bar is no longer highlighted with its "Minimize" tooltip after every start.
• Closing: the window shrinks a little and then burns away from the top down into rising embers. The small start-up card at the end is gone.
• "Delete with ResoTweak": the folder's atoms fly into the Recycle Bin straight away, also for a big folder that takes Windows a few seconds. If it cannot be deleted after all, they fly back, and the folder flashes red.

ResoTweak 1.6.1.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• "Delete with ResoTweak": the folder you deleted breaks into tiny pieces right where it is and they fly into the Recycle Bin on your desktop (or drift away when the Recycle Bin is not in sight). ResoTweak's window stays where it is. A folder that cannot be deleted flashes red and shakes, and ResoTweak tells you why.
• Minimizing sends the ResoTweak window down into the taskbar, and it comes back up the same way.
• Closing folds the window back into the small start-up card, which then fades away - the opening played backwards.
• The start-up card shows what ResoTweak is doing and the same three-part loader as the sign-in screen. The light that crossed the logo is gone.

ResoTweak 1.6.0.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• A new start-up: a small, quiet card with the ResoTweak logo and a thin loading bar that follows the real loading. It greets you by name when you are signed in and then grows into the ResoTweak window. When something needs you (no internet, the server, administrator rights) the card opens up to show it.
• ResoTweak closes smoothly: the window shrinks a little and fades out instead of disappearing at once.
• "Delete with ResoTweak" with ResoTweak open: the window breaks into pixels that fly onto the folder, the folder crumbles and its pieces fly into the Recycle Bin on your desktop. If something is still in use, the window comes back and shows which apps hold it, with the options to close them or delete at the next restart.

ResoTweak 1.5.9.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• "Take ownership with ResoTweak": while the pixels fly, nothing of the ResoTweak window stays on screen. In 1.5.8 its border and shadow were left behind as an empty frame.
• Taking ownership of another folder right after a big one plays the animation again instead of opening the old dialog. A big folder no longer keeps the window away: it comes back after a moment, says the work is still going, and tells you when it is done.

ResoTweak 1.5.8.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• "Take ownership with ResoTweak" with ResoTweak open now really plays its animation. In 1.5.7 the window only turned dark and see-through: the pixels and the folder were drawn into a layer that never reached the screen. The window now breaks into pixels that fly onto the folder, the folder turns orange with a green check (or red with the reason when it cannot be taken over), and the window rebuilds itself.
• The pixels are made from the window itself, also when Explorer covers it, and the folder is found in any open Explorer window or on the desktop.

ResoTweak 1.5.7.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• "Take ownership with ResoTweak" with ResoTweak open: the window breaks into pixels that fly onto the folder in Explorer. The folder lights up while ResoTweak takes it over and turns ResoTweak orange with a green check when it worked. If it did not, it flashes red, the pixels fly back, the window rebuilds itself and tells you why, with the log of what could not be changed.
• The start-up card shows a single, wider loading bar instead of the list of loading steps. Problems (no internet, server, administrator rights) are still shown on the card.

ResoTweak 1.5.6.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• The start-up card is always in motion: the loading steps appear one after another and slide in, each finished step pops a green check, a light glides along the progress bar, the logo floats gently and a light passes over it every few seconds.
• Steps that are not reached yet stay hidden, so the card never shows an empty "waiting" row when you still have to pick your profile.
• The start-up card now grows smoothly into the ResoTweak window instead of disappearing at once. In 1.5.5 an error at that moment made the window jump.

ResoTweak 1.5.5.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• The start-up card shows what really happens: internet connection, resotweak.app, sign-in and your dashboard tick off one after another, and the progress bar follows them.
• When something is wrong, the card says so and waits instead of disappearing: no internet or Wi-Fi off (ResoTweak continues by itself the moment you are back online), resotweak.app not answering or loading slowly, missing administrator rights or a missing Windows component. Each problem offers the next step, for example the offline tools or a restart as administrator.
• After signing in, ResoTweak greets you by name together with your last PC score, and the card then grows smoothly into the ResoTweak window.
• The start-up card has the same title bar as the app, with minimize and close.
• A short soft sound when ResoTweak has started. You can turn it off in Settings > Start-up sound.
• The start-up animation now stays at least 4.5 seconds, so the logo and the loading steps can be seen completely.

ResoTweak 1.5.4.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Take ownership of any folder: right-click a folder and choose "Take ownership with ResoTweak". You become the owner of the folder and everything in it and get full access, so you can change or delete anything inside, without "You need permission" messages.
• Delete any folder: right-click a folder and choose "Delete with ResoTweak". It works for folders in ProgramData and for folders owned by TrustedInstaller or other accounts too. The folder goes to the Recycle Bin. If an app still has files open, ResoTweak tells you which app it is and can close it, or the folder can be deleted when Windows restarts.
• Windows, system folders, the user-profile roots and ResoTweak's own data are always protected.
• A new start-up and update look that matches the rest of ResoTweak: the same dark style as the What's new and Feedback windows, with the orange light from the corner and the speed lines from the logo.
• The installer is about 1.7 MB smaller because the background video is no longer needed.

ResoTweak 1.5.3.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• After an update, ResoTweak greets you with an "Updated to" card in the look of the update window and shows what changed in the version you just installed.
• Smoother dashboard: the active item in the sidebar glides to its new place, sections build up in order, dialogs open with a soft spring and the system score counts up more smoothly.
• Faster and more reliable under the hood: the code is built with the latest Windows and Visual Studio tools and is free of compiler and analyzer warnings.
• If you share anonymous statistics, ResoTweak now also reports how long it takes to open (only as a rough range), so slow starts can be found and fixed.

ResoTweak 1.5.2.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Animated updates: "Restart & update" now turns the ResoTweak window smoothly into an update card that shows what is happening (download of the .NET runtime if needed, installing, finishing) and then hands over to the new version's start-up without a blank moment.
• A new, deeper start-up background: near-black with glowing embers and rising sparks.
• ResoTweak's window appears only after the start-up animation has finished.

ResoTweak 1.5.1.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Start-up: ResoTweak's window now appears only after the start-up animation has finished, instead of popping up while the animation is still playing.

ResoTweak 1.5.0.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Animated start-up: the ResoTweak logo comes together over a slowly glowing background while the dashboard loads, and the main window appears only when it is ready, so there is no more empty or white window at start. It is skipped when Windows animations are turned off.
• ResoTweak now runs on Microsoft .NET 10 instead of .NET Framework 4.8: current performance improvements and security updates from Microsoft (supported until November 2028).
• The installer adds the Microsoft .NET 10 Desktop Runtime automatically when it is missing (downloaded from Microsoft and checked for Microsoft's signature). If that is not possible, nothing changes and your current version keeps working.
• Nothing you use changed: settings, history, backups and quarantined files are read exactly as before.
• A more reliable desktop core: Windows tools always stop after a time limit, settings survive a crash or power loss, and a small local log (7 days, without personal data) helps explain errors you choose to report.

ResoTweak 1.4.0.0

In testing with beta testers. Everyone gets it automatically once testing is done.

• Clean temporary files no longer stops with "Windows is waiting for a restart" when a restart does not help.
