  OptWin &lt;strong&gt;1.2&lt;/strong&gt; is out. This release focuses on &lt;strong&gt;usability, mobile-first experience, and deeper optimization control.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Highlights&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;62 optimization features&lt;/strong&gt; across &lt;strong&gt;7 categories&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preset system (Recommended, Gaming, Select All) with risk level indicators&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Full UI/UX&lt;/strong&gt; overhaul with mobile responsive design&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smart search with live text highlighting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Performance improvements via lazy loading&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;optimized animations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fully open-source and transparent, as always.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>OptWin 1.1 release announcement - Optimize Windows</title>
      <dc:creator>Ahmet</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 10 Dec 2025 01:28:11 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ahmetly_/optwin-11-release-announcement-optimize-windows-48dc</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ahmetly_/optwin-11-release-announcement-optimize-windows-48dc</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I just shipped &lt;strong&gt;OptWin 1.1&lt;/strong&gt;, an updated version of my free and fully open-source web app that generates custom Windows optimization scripts based on user-selected tweaks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What’s new in OptWin 1.1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This release focuses on stability, script clarity, and improved optimization coverage. Key improvements include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Cleaner and more structured batch output&lt;br&gt;
• Expanded performance and privacy tweak set&lt;br&gt;
• More reliable power plan switching&lt;br&gt;
• Improved DNS &amp;amp; network optimization module&lt;br&gt;
• Safer defaults for new users&lt;br&gt;
• General refactoring and small bug fixes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As always, every command is fully transparent — no hidden processes, no binary executables, just clean batch scripts you can read and modify.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Try it here:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://optwin.tech" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://optwin.tech&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source code:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://github.com/ahmetlygh/OptWin" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/ahmetlygh/OptWin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Feedback from developers, sysadmins, and Windows power users is always appreciated.&lt;br&gt;
If you have suggestions, feature ideas, or bug reports, feel free to share.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I built an open-source Windows optimization tool – free to use</title>
      <dc:creator>Ahmet</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 07 Dec 2025 23:27:06 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/ahmetly_/i-built-an-open-source-windows-optimization-tool-free-to-use-10nc</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/ahmetly_/i-built-an-open-source-windows-optimization-tool-free-to-use-10nc</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently finished a project called &lt;strong&gt;OptWin&lt;/strong&gt;, and I’m sharing it here in case anyone finds it useful. OptWin is an &lt;strong&gt;open-source&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;browser-based tool&lt;/strong&gt; that lets you generate &lt;strong&gt;fully customizable Windows optimization scripts&lt;/strong&gt;. There are &lt;strong&gt;no executables&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;no installers&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;no hidden actions&lt;/strong&gt;—every line of the script is &lt;strong&gt;transparent&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;editable&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal is simple: give users &lt;strong&gt;full control&lt;/strong&gt; over how they want to optimize their system, whether they’re gamers, power users, or just want a cleaner and faster Windows setup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can try it here:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://optwin.tech" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://optwin.tech&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source code (open-source):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://github.com/ahmetlygh/OptWin" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/ahmetlygh/OptWin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What it does?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OptWin includes a wide range of &lt;strong&gt;safe&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;optional tweaks&lt;/strong&gt; such as temporary file cleanup, telemetry disabling, hibernation removal, performance mode switching, DNS benchmarking, network resets, DISM/SFC repairs, unused service disabling, and additional usability tweaks like hiding Bing search or showing file extensions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All changes are optional and user-selected. The tool can also create a &lt;strong&gt;System Restore Point&lt;/strong&gt; before applying any modifications, and the resulting script is &lt;strong&gt;plain-text batch code&lt;/strong&gt; you can review before running.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to explore it or contribute, feedback is appreciated. The project will stay &lt;strong&gt;free, transparent, and community-driven.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
