Well I clicked on “Undo Selected Tweaks” and after about 5 to 10 seconds later, the PowerShell started again and it finished after 10mins of what it looked like stuck\hung, not sure if clicking on “Undo Selected Tweaks” for for this matter clicking on any option from the app would have done the same or it literally took 10min to finish.

Nope, it I did not do anything with “Undo Selected Tweaks”, this never executed

if u was using powershell 5 the one that comes with windows 11 then its just a graphics error. try running the same treaks in powershell 7 that appx removel screen should disapear.

4

maybe the problem also have something to do with my fullscreen issue but hey its everything fine …

6

so after reading u other message. winutil only change settings there and then. if a problem happens weeks later then that not a winutil problem. if it was a winutil problem then it would off happened right after u applied the tweaks. did u try and update ur windows. or even ur graphics drivers. but please keep future replies more friendly if u want help or u will get banned and get no help.

I am a Mac user, I was just trying to help strengthen the app. Trying to add my two cents worth of enlightenment and by adding the actual logs so that it could help the developer at finding a better solution or better method of the app executing!

It seems like my idea back fired,

Thanks!
