There are an almost uncountable number of Windows 11 "tweak"-type utilities out there. But Wintoys is one of the better ones, thanks to its comprehensive feature-set and modern user interface. As the utility's website notes, you can use Wintoys to access hidden settings, free up disk space, access advanced repair tools without using the command line, configure Windows 11's privacy and advertising features, and more. Some of this is readily available in Windows 11 itself, of course, but the settings are spread out all over the place. But some of it is much less accessible, and it's nice to have it all in a single place.
