WARNING: Unwanted System Modifications & Possible Malware – Devs, Explain This!
@hellzerg @Jisll @vadiscode @VenusGirl @KG7x @marco-carvalho
Hey guys, its not funny anymore. There is all kinds of bs happening on my win10 as well as on my win11. even after doing the repair, replacing the whole windows, without killing my stuff, your modifications are still there, and i had to do manual configs to surround stuff or getting stuff back like prtscreen, splitscreen and multiple other bs i felt almost locked out of my system, or had struggles to do stuff thats normal.
I am asking you to explain how to revert the changes your software makes, especially that policy bs! Plus your download triggers a bunch of trojans and malware alerts.
@worldpeaceenginelabs Just re-run the software and uncheck the option you activated. If you don't know what to disable or enable, read and make some research. Yes you can disable importants features, like:
- You you use Xbox Game Pass and PC Gaming, you can't disable some features of it or you will break some softwares and features.
Always when you use treaking softwares, you need to have knowledge of what you optmise in a OS.
Last recommendation, before optimize your PC, create a system restore point.

About Malaware: Windows is fighting back because if you disable telemetry or app or features installed, their loosing money by selling your personnal data collected thru telemetry and all apps you used. So they declare it has potential threat to discourage peoples using tweaking systems softwares. Microsoft now collect everything, analyse your photos, documents, etc.

I am fullstack dev, knowing what i am doing, just too lazy to do the changes manually, which is the reason for using that tool. But that software goes way to far and unchecking the boxes does have no effect.
Also of course i did not only use Microsoft tools, but two different local virus scanners plus online tools like Total Virus, just to validate. All tools say full of malware, and there is another issue in the repo stating the same.
I already informed Github twice, because i am seriously concerned, because of that stuff staying even after switching the OS systemfiles.
@worldpeaceenginelabs If you're a fullstack dev, why don't download source code and find the malware yourself and submit the evidence to github? you have aleady more competence that i tough, i trust on evidence too.

the evidence are the different malware scanner and virus scanner results, which i already sent to GitHub before i opened this issue. sure not investing more time into this crap repository.
The app is 100% open-source for like 10+ years. No one mentioned a piece of malicious code here until now. Only false positives from various scanners. I am waiting for something concrete.
There is no way the changes are remaining after a clean format of the system. Not using the reset option inside of Windows settings, but manual clean install, old school method

Hi Hellzerg. Thats kind of my point. I need to swipe my whole system manually to get rid of your software's changes. THAT ALONE IS ENOUGH!
PLUS multiple scanners screaming malware. So as an user (doesnt matter if experienced or not, its not about me, but about your software) thats highly concerning. I hope you understand and get my point here. No offense from my side, just straight forward telling you my user experience without sugar coating 🙏
First of all, the entire point of tools like this is to modify your Windows, and that's almost always going to break something somewhere, you use them at your discretion. While there are settings you can revert back, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - especially because Windows updates might also break changes made by these 'optimization' tools. That's why it is advised to create a system restore point.
This tool is NOT malware, what you are getting are false positive results.
Hey my friend! Whatever! Stop discussing with me and fix what i said. Thats all i am asking as a user of your software, which broke parts of my system. Thats it! I'm done here!
@hellzerg can you close that issue, this dude blame the planet after a win reinstall his system act weridly, not related. Thanks.
The policy changes from the optimizer remained active even after a Windows recovery, which replaced the underlying system files without affecting personal data. It's related, but the energy/vibe here definitely suggests a bunch of people dropping malware. It feels like I caught some kids doing something shady, and now they're getting defensive.
I've already reported it to GitHub twice. You guys are giving off the wrong energy, which only makes you look more suspicious.
@worldpeaceenginelabs What you said is impossible at my opinion. If you restore to factory your Windows, any personnalisation is impossible. If you ask to restore and keeping files, its restore only Windows files system. Any personnalisation is still active. I'm not developper or github related to this project, but with more than 25 years of IT and computing their is something you do is wrong with your recovery. Recovery have many differents options:
If you use Full System Restore, it's using a clean image located in hidden partition and reinstall Windows from it's clean image. Optimisations such 'Windows Optimizer' and 'WinScripts' or 'Chris Titus Tech' tool, is using GPO to disable features in the registry. Registry is not modified into a Windows RE parition. What you complaint doesn't make sense. You may restore your registry with CC Cleaner or whatever software to restore your files.
If you still argue that it's using malware, use Windows Online Sandbox such HackTheBox, TryHackMe, or VulnHub and give real proof. Otherwise, you argue always the same without briging any proof except false positives of online scanning plateforms.
