Thanks for saving the old games!
Now
I have bin forced to install the new w10 and then lost freecell :(((
If you have Win 10 head over to the microsoft store and download Solitary collection. It has freecell and all the other cool games there too!
The Microsoft site is not great, look for Winaero Windows 7 Games, including Freecell
Thank you for the Windows games. I uninstalled the older version and it would not reinstall. Somewhere I noticed a place to donate…you are worth it.
Sincerely, DP

Hi, I’m having issues with the right click not working on the start button on windows 10, I used your Win+X menu editor 3.0.0.0 however when I try to restore defaults it says @the following files were nor processed” then lists all the files under the 3 group files under WinX. Any ideas? I’ve tried all of the fixes I can find.

Обнови сертификат сайта. Хром уже ругается.
Я работаю над этим.
Have downlaoded Winaero 0.10.2 as i am having huge problems with Windows updates. Does this also counter the new Windows 10 Update Facilitation Service (I have manually disabled it, but I can’t stop it)
Regards
Coral
I will add it to the backlist.
Are there any quiet install switches for the Old Calculator for Windows 10 executable? I’d love to be able to deploy it to several systems at once.
Thanks!
use the /S switch (S is capitalized) for silent installation.
To Whom it may Concern;
The Winero – “Uninstall Edge Utility – “NO LONGER WORKS”, AFTER MICROSOFT’S RECENT ANNIVERSARY WIN 10 UPDATE RELEASE! When Microsoft was changing my choice to use theOPERA Browser as my Default Browser and attempting to “FORCE ME TO USE THEIR “WORTHLESS” BROWSER THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT JAVA, & most importantly their embedded ADOBE Flash Player “DOES NOT WORK”! & most sites that require a Flash Player will not display properly, or, not at all,for me, I knew that it was time for Microsoft’s “WORTHLESS” Edge Browser to GO!
I hope that an Update version of this Utility will soon be offered so that I can once again not be bothered with Microsoft’s “WORTHLESS” Edge Browser!

I just downloaded Winaero Tweaker to customize my Windows Borders on Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit. However, adjusting either the width or padding only seems to adjust the width of the top border. Also, when I click on “See in detail how this tweak works” I get an Unhandled Exception of “The system cannot find the file specified”
The following is the full text of the error:

Hi Sergey
..have just discovered Winaero and find it to well designed. Many thanks.
..have a question…
Is there anyway to be able to use the Win 8.1 Alarm interface on Win 10?
I really prefer 8.1’s “dial circles” presentation.
Thanks,
Ania
Hi Ania
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Microsoft has changed the Store app platform in Windows 10.
Hello, guys
Contact us to discuss the license agreement? We plan to use the product within the enterprise.
No problem.
On my Win10 computer that I’ve had chess on for several years….suddenly the chess wouldn’t work. I uninstalled and reinstalled games but still the same thing, no chess. It says something about the link moved or something but I hadn’t changed a thing.
I triied following your method to download .net 3.5 but the script is not recognizing the media I insterted on USB drive and it simply exits. I also tried the DISM command and I get source not found error.
Hello, thank you for creating the Old Caclulator APP for Windows 10, but how do I install it without disabling the Windows 10 calculator?
Thanks
I doesn’t disable the uwp app. both remain available.
hi. why am i not getting newsletters to my e-mail. noticed this the past couple of days. can you let me know. thanks.
Hi. I was not writing anything last week.
I have winaero tweaker latest update on my desktop it works fine then i downloaded to my laptop
and all i get is the license agreement why is that have win 10 on both machines
I have no idea.
This has never happened before.
The Tools>Import\Export tweaks does not work. It never correctly imports the bookmarks. I have about 30 and it only imports about 5. And it doesn’t import the tweaks as they were set when exported.
I always have to go through manually and rebookmark all my bookmarks, but also always have to change the settings on at least half of items I bookmarked and made specific settings.
Why? I have not looked in detail at the exported tweak file but they seem to all be there. But almost all bookmarks and many many settings are not imported. I have admin account running Windows 10 lastest version but it has happened on all past versions for at least the last year.
noting which tweaks fail to import could be helpful.
As I understand, it also fails to import bookmarks for you.
There are three issues.
1. Is it exporting the bookmarks and tweaks correctly to the ini file. No.
2. Is it importing the bookmarks and tweaks correctly from the ini file. No.
3. Currently, it is not possible to tell which tweaks fail to import, because a) I do not know how many tweaks were set different than their default values in the GUI, b) I do not know how many tweaks are/were in the ini file.
Just now,
I manually counted my bookmarks in the Winaero GUI. I have 83.
I did a Tools > Export Tweaks. It ended successfully with a message 69 tweaks have been exported.
I opened the WinAero Tweaker.ini file. Under [Favorites] there are 82 lines\tweaks.
I immediately did Tools > Import Tweaks From a File. It completed successfully with a message 68 tweaks have been imported.
So, nothing matches.
Results
#bookmarks exported to ini does not match bookmarks in WinAero. (its short by 1).
Any, everytime, I have imported any WinAero Tweaker.ini, I have never had more than 4 or 5 bookmarks import.
69 Tweaks exported, only 68 tweaks imported.
69 Tweaks exported may be correct as not all of the bookmarked tweaks are set/modified from default. I manually counted 66 so it’s probably correct because it is very difficult to tell with some tweaks if they have been changed from their defaults.
First fix I think should be the bookmarks because the results are immediately observable. If I have 83 bookmarks in WinAero and only 82 are exported to ini, and only 4 or 5 are ever imported, that seems like something obvious will jump out as to the cause.
I’d gladly send you my exported .ini file and any other file but I do not know how to contact you other than this web page.
An immediate import of tweaks just after an export should match the number of exported tweaks.
Second, although you appear to have a “Reset this page to defaults” (does every tweak page have this?), often one cannot tell if the page is currently set to its default.
“Taskbar Button Width”, I can Reset to Default or click on System Default, but I have no idea if the current value of 100 is different from the System Default or the Reset to Defaults value, no way to know if I ever changed/set this tweak.
“Scrollbars”, I can reset to default but just looking at it, I have no idea if I set the value of 17 or if 17 is the default and I have never changed/tweaked this setting.
Those are just some, I hope not too silly examples. My point is it would be very helpful for the user to know when looking at a tweak page what the default values are for that tweak, and even more helpful if it was very obvious to the user when a tweak has been set/modified, perhaps the color changes … Green for default values and Blue for changed values. Or directly below the “Reset this page to defaults” the actual default value was shown. Or even a permanent summary at the top of the GUI in or near Information, saying you have modified 69 tweaks. That was after an Import or a Windows update, when I start WinAero I will immediately know if personalized settings have been changed.
Lastly, Windows 10 is such an ongoing beta nightmare I am sure it is more frustrating for you than for most users. Everytime it does an update, it without any notification or consent, always changes seemingly random settings. I never know when or if any of my personalized settings have been changed. So, I depend on WinAero to or I should say, I would love to depend on WinAero Import Tweaks to change everything back to what I like. But, currently I never know

Like I haven’t bugged you enough. These would be new tweaks if they are even possible.
1. In Windows 10 Registry Editor, Favorites, is there any tweak to add a scrollbar or make the list of favorites multi-column? I have way more favorites than can fit in one screen column and the only way to go through the list is by clicking on those tiny arrows, they scroll very very slow, and if try to pick a favorite that is near the bottom of your scroll the favorite list jumps back to the beginning of the list.
Additionally, is there any tweak to sort the Windows 10 Registry Editor Favorites list?
2. The very same issue with the context menu in File Explorer: Is there any tweak to add a scroll bar or make it multi-column. I know some items can made “extended” items but most of mine cannot.
After updating to Windows pro 2004, my Winaero Win7 games no longer works. I still have the installation file Win7Games4Win 10_8_81_v2, but after reinstalling from scratch it’s still not working. Can you suggest a solution to this problem?
Usually reinstalling them is enough.
I will take a look.
Would you pretty please help me to find a old version of samsung flow for windows 10
I installed Winaero Tweaker on my Win 10 PC and tried to use the backup and restore of the start menu. I was in the 1st user account with the desired startup menu and ran backup. I copied the backup file to a 2nd user account, signed out of the first account, logged into the 2nd account, ran Tweaker and did the Import. Signed out and back in and no changes were present. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Donate does not work from India. I downloaded the games for win 10 in 2 systems. Would like to donate what I can next time I come to download.

Bonjour,
Oû Trouver une traduction en français complète du logiciel …. merci pour le retour.
Cordialement J.P.
I have not implemented anything good yet.
Also I do not understand how people will maintain their translation. It is a hard work.
There are many questions I can’t answer.
Hello, when I´m using custom folders on sidebar on explorer, browsing explorer (opening another subfolders) is slower. It takes maybe 1/4 of second longer and for a brief moment loading icon appears. Is this something to be expected?
Thanks!
What custom folders you are using?
I´m using custom downloads folder in sidebar and two specific folders where I store my work. I thought it would be practical to put these often used folders to sidebar but the delay is annoying and it doesn´t happen when usic default sidebar folders
There is a lot of useful information on the site, but it is difficult to find it. Why is there no search? google site: winaero.com works poorly
Several of my Windows games for Windows 10 seems to open with the same game every time rather than a random game. Is there a way to fix this?
I have used and appreciated winaero tweaker and other utilities for years and will sadly no longer do so. The number of ads you have EVERYWHERE is just sickening and makes it VERY hard to figure out what is your and what is an ad, and is just plain confusing. Thanks for your efforts, but this is just TOO MUCH.
The costs of running the server, domain, hosting, time it takes to write content and to code and maintain Tweaker means the ads are necessary. I would like to point that there are no ads in my app itself.
Well, there is a solution for you. See the following web site: https://winaerotweaker.com
I’ve built it for app users like you.
There is no single ad there. Exactly zero.
Hi Serge,
Thanks a lot for your great work. Is there a way to send you a question by e mail ? No body on various forums were able to answer …
Winaero causing transparency bug in Win10 after change of settings – see here!
https://imgur.com/e3xkGeL
left pane turns opaque after using winaero
Which exactly settings you’ve applied in Winaero Tweaker?
Not sure yet which setting is responsible but maybe probably increase taskbar transparency!?
Have to find out….
Yep, definitely *taskbar transparency* which is the culprit
Then it is just broken in recent releases.
Winaero Tweaker does nothing but activates a built-in Windows feature.
nothing broken since there are other apps doing just that fine – Translucent TB (MS Store)
A BUG ???
Had a problem with Tweaker.
Went to Icons and selected strikethrough which I then applied.
As expected, my desktop icon titles all had a strikethrough.
I then went back to remove this strikethrough, and though I tried several times, with a sign out after each attempt, the line persisted.
It was only when I went to Reset advanced appearance that I was able to return to normal.

Thanks David. I will look.
Hi!
WinaeroTweaker is a great tool and helps me a lot in my day-to-day!
With WinaeroTweaker I would like to have an option in “File Explorer” so that it is possible to change the icon of a certain group of folders within a directory.
For example, I have several folders in a subdirectory that are symbolic links and I would like to identify these folders by changing their icons to a more appropriate image, so it would be easier to identify what kind of folders they are.
Thank you!
Thank you for this amazing software. I have a humble request: I’ve noticed that (at least on my notebook) the “old” power options – Advanced settings have disappeared.
Here “now” (on the left ) and “before” (right):

It would be great if you could put an option in order to restore all the settings.
Thanks again, and a BIG CIAO from Italy!
I will do
Is it possible to edit WinXmenuEditor so you can replace the Terminal items by Command Prompt items.
I’ve added the program cmd.exe to the menu but it is not vissible in Win11
When I enable classic toolbar
1) Windows Search stops working (Both Win Key + S or the search icon in taskbar). Any way to fix?
2) The middle click on Open Shell will no longer open Win 11 standard start
Thanks
HI.
FYI for the last 3 or 4 emails of your newsletter I have been receiving a duplicate copy each time.
In other words, I am receiving 2 copies of the newsletter instead of just one.
Possibly this is happening to others too.
Yours respectfully and gratefully for your good help and advice.
Something is wrong with Google Feedburner.
Maybe it is the right moment to say goodbye to it.
Hello,
I’ve just found you program, now I could make fonts on Win 10 semibold that’s great!
But there is no function to change font of right mouse button menus on Win 10?
do you mean the right-click menu in File Explorer?
Hi, I’ve been trying to replace the shortcut arrow with the new Windows 11, but it does not work: a white icon overlaps every icon on the desktop (with Windows 10 it worked)…. please, could you check that oiu? Thanks!
WinAero Team, I installed WinAero Tweaker and Classic Start on my Win11-based PC. My main purposes were to (1) ungroup icons in the Taskbar and (2) move the Taskbar to the top of the screen. The combination of WinAero Tweaker and Classic Start did just that and I thank you for developing the software to do so.
At about the same time, I noticed that File Explorer was not working as it had before. More specifically, when I try to use the search box (to the right of the folder being used, that search box will only accept a single character, so, for example, if I type (without teh parentheses) into the search box, the search is based solely on the last letter typed, in this case “g”.
Have you seen this behavior before, and if so, how may I correct it?
Also, how can I donate to the work you do?
Thanks…
Geoff
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for letting us know. No, I haven’t seen this before.
What is your build number? Is it a stable Windows 11?
I am subscribed to your News letter, but do not receive it for some reason, what am I DOING WRONG IF ANYTHING?
I am also subscribed to your News letter, with two email address, but do not receive it for some reason, what am I DOING WRONG IF ANYTHING?

URGENT!!!!!!!!!!! Help Nedded.
I just want to dissapear the Spinning Wheel in the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise boot process, and I download Winaero Tweaker version 1.33.0.0. when I select the Boot Options in the Boot and Logon section Menu. The Application Crashes. What can be wrong!!!
Please help. I need to disable this, and I am running out of time in my project.
I change the computer from Legacy Boot Mode to UEFI. maybe I something related with this. but help me, maybe I need to download other version of make updates.
Thank you
I have no IoT edition or a compatible device here. I cannot reproduce the issue using my lab environment here.
A hyperguess – something returns null :-) or a struct with null and the code doesn’t expect that since no other flavor of Win does that. Win 10 IoT is made to run on crazy hardware (at least in theory) like Raspberry so it can easily be that it is “minimized”. Don’t expect a general tool (Tweaker in this case) to be stable on special SKU-s.
There’s a thread on TechNet with a guy complaining that he couldn’t get advanced boot options – maybe some of the stuff guys said helps [https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cf4baab1-a61d-467c-9616-fdbddce647f4].
Apparently even Raspberry flavor has bcdedit – check out this: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=118442#p888096
Also check out this one: https://itectec.com/superuser/hide-the-logon-screen-windows-10-iot/
Try bcdedit /set {globalsettings} custom:16000069 true. Keep in mind that the codes can be different on IoT SKU.
Read the article [https://winaero.com/how-to-disable-windows-8-boot-logo-spining-icon-and-some-other-hidden-settings].
A feature request – to be able to change things (== registry fields) for a user different than the principal attached to the current process.
The scenario is rather mundane (but I never experienced it before – lucky me :-) – have to use a box on which my alias (read SID) is not allowed to be admin. That means when I launch Tweaker I have to enter credentials that are admin => everything Tweaker stores is under that user’s SID. I can log out/i or, restart zillion times – the result is still nada :-).
Extra caveat – that user (Tweaker ‘s principal) may not have a profile (HU\SID doesn’t exist, let alone the full path like HU\SID\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics). Haven’t tried what would happen (“my admin” does have the profile on the box). Something would probably throw.
You’d need to dig through registry a bit (maybe even show a list of available users for extra points).
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI
/v LastLoggedOnDisplayName , LastLoggedOnUserSID should be the actual user,SID in normal cases so if that SID is not the same as what WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Owner gives you then you know that in normal cases that’s it and you have all info you need.
If you want to get paranoid safe (at the cost of being slightly annoying) you can fire up an alert or dialog to ask “Are you {UserName}” – dialog for extra points if you want to list all potential users and let the guy select one.
The sole abnormal case (very rare these days) would be if the user is on a genuine multiuser/multiterminal box and someone opened an RDS connection after he logged in and for that case you’d need: or “Are you {AdminName}” and the 2nd button. Without that poor real admin on a 20 seat “terminal server” box wouldn’t be able to set his own stuff.
I just downloaded Windows7Games_for_Windows_11_10_8.zip from the web site https://win7games.com/ (referred by the page https://winaero.com/get-windows-7-games-for-windows-10/). I checked the MD5 and SHA256 checksums for this file, but they do not match the checksums shown on the win7games site. I get:
MD5 : F88442B97683C03596FCEABE761B891D
SHA256 : CC58B9F5BEDB963AACC26924D5F2FAD890F1C24B0E1F01193BC58281094CF53C
The hashes shown on the web site are:
MD5: 708d12491aaa472f0bf498544c03e4b0
SHA256: 1a8199a2d52b54019b2353b838c6bede5234ebcf8e2615584ede11d71de1e1f0
I hashed the EXE within the ZIP file, but its hashes do not match either. I’ve verified my hashing program, a PowerShell module available at https://www.pkisolutions.com/tools/psfciv/, is operating properly.
Please let me know if the file I have downloaded is valid. Thank you.
Dear Sir:
I’m looking for a Spanish version of your marvelloua Winaero Tweaker 1.33.
Whe can I find it to install it in my computer?
Have a nice day.
Uzi Litwak
Like the tweaker but two significant changes for Windows 11
a) Ability to Group and UNgroup files/folders in the task bar
b) In ‘Classic Taskbar’ mode right-click drop down windows menu is lost so it is quite hard to use Admin mode or to shut down/restart etc etc
I stopped getting email newsletters several months ago. Today I was looking for some stuff on-line and one of the site was yours so, I tried signing up for the email newsletter again and it told me I was already signed up. Can this be corrected so that I can get the emails again.
Regards
Robin
Hi Sergey,
I love Winaero, especially the Bookmark feature which allows me to keep track of items I have changed. I have two things to bring to your attention:
#1: I attempted to subscribe to the newsletter, and it errored out and google came back with:
400. That’s an error.
The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.
#2: I recently upgraded to Win 10 22H2 from Win 10 21H2. However the Sys Info page on Winaero still shows an older version of Win 10 (Win10 v2004/20H1)
I am using Winaero v1.40.0.0
I do not see any way to refresh the Winaero Sys Info page so it will update.
Thanks for a wonderful app, and a great UX
bc
Hi. Thanks for your kind words and feedback.
#1 Must be something wrong with Google.
#2 Must be a bug in my app. Could you tell me what build number the
winvercommand displays?Downloaded Tweaker [1.40.0.0] to specifically change my system font.
Fonts were changed but “Search” in Taskbar / Start Menu was inactivated.
Reversed the change and the “Search” feature was restored.
Tried three times – same outcome each time.
Looks like the “System Font” tweak needs a little TLC!
Otherwise, a great app!!
Hello Peter.
I need to look into this issue.
Will do after holidays.
Many thanks for your valuable feedback
Hi,
I have become a winaero convert and was trying to sign up for the newsletter but Bart C (above) I just get an error 400. how should I sign up for the newsletter?
“400. That’s an error.
The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.”
some of the changes in windows 11 are really bad design choices. I wanted to thank you for the tool and its ability to restore the context menus.
I noticed the taskbar tray icon row number no longer seems to work. do you think this is fixable?
winaero info says windows 11 version 22H2 64-bit enterprise edition build 22621.1413
winaero version 1.40.0.0
if that helps
I was also looking for a way to “show all icons” on the system tray. I was using
explorer shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
but that no longer works after the latest update. Is this something you might add to the tweaker?
thanks for your time!

Hi. I suggest using ExplorerPatcher to restore the missing functionality. The icon row option has indeed gone in recent builds.
Hallo,
notwendige Verbesserung für die Zukunft:
1. Warum kann man nicht mehr die Taskleistenposition verändern bei Win11; von unten z.b. nach oben. Das ging doch mal mit diesem Tool.
2. Ganz besonders wichtig! Bietet Übersetzungen in anderen Sprachen an. Wichtig ist hier natürlich die Menschen-Quell-Sprachen DEUTSCH, dann CHINESISCH und INDISCH; anschließend SPANISCH & FRANZÖSISCH.
Gruß
———————————————————–
Hello,
necessary improvement for the future:
1. Why can’t you change the taskbar position in Win11; from below e.g. up. That was possible with this tool.
2. Very important! Offers translations in other languages. Of course, the human-source-languages GERMAN, then CHINESE and INDIAN are important here; then SPANISH & FRENCH.
greeting
Any chance of a version of Simplsnd for Windows 11?
Looking for a possibility to report a problem with WinAreao Tweaker (WAT) I end up here.
I have used WAT since Windows 7 and have now switched to Win 11 where I want to apply similar tweaks.
– I wanted to donate, but “customer does not accept payments …”
– Wanting to get rid of the Music, Pictures and Videos folders in “This PC” does not show these in WAT.
See daube.ch/z_temp/Customise-ThisPC-folders.png
I have found vaious REG tweaks on the web to get rid of them – but so far no on did the trick. So my hope was on WAT.
Thanks for taking this up.
Klaus
hello sir.
First of all, thanks for using my app and for your support.
Speaking about the folders, the “Music/Pictures/etc” folders are not visible in This PC by default on Windows 11.
WAT 1.52 should work properly with them, i.e. it should allow you to add and remove them.
Sadly, I cannot open your screenshot as the link you have shared is password-protected.
Sorry, the URL for the screenshot is daube.ch/zz_tests/Customise-ThisPC-folders.png
Apologies for my late response – too many open issues with the transition to W11…
But in the meantime things have changed:
In WAT 1.52 the folders are listed as requested:
daube.ch/zz_tests/Customise-ThisPC-folders2.png
And the Windows File Explorer lists only the same … OK now.
Can you also save the psr.exe since it is being deprecated now?
