Winora: tune Windows and undo anything

Why

Windows 11 keeps its settings in many places: the Settings app, Control Panel, Group Policy, the registry, services and scheduled tasks. Changing them by hand takes time, and you lose track of what you changed. Winora puts these settings on a few clear pages. You see each change before it happens, and you can undo it later.

Features

The Overview page with facts about the PC, next steps and recent changes
Settings in one place
Customize, Optimize and Privacy cover File Explorer, the taskbar, Start, performance and privacy. Each setting shows its risk level.
Review before every change
You see the value now and the value after. Nothing changes until you confirm.
Profiles
Balanced, Speed, Security, Privacy, Gaming and Minimal. You see the full plan, confirm once, and undo it in one step.
History with undo
Every change Winora made is listed in History. Undo puts the old value back.
Apps, startup and services
Remove preinstalled apps and installed programs. Turn startup programs, scheduled tasks and services on or off.
Cleanup
Free up space and see what fills your drive.
Power, network and updates
Power plans, sleep options, DNS and how Windows Update installs updates.
Repair and features
Run the built-in Windows repair tools and turn optional features on or off.
Action center
Your waiting changes, running tasks and recent events in one panel.
English and Persian
Light and dark themes, accent colors and a full right-to-left layout.

The Customize page with File Explorer settings and their current values   The Startup page with programs grouped by source, each with an on and off switch

Install

Download Winora-<version>-win-x64-machine.msi from the Releases page and run it. It installs Winora for all users in Program Files. You can check the file against SHA256SUMS.

You need Windows 11 (x64) and the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime.

Build from source

You need the .NET 10 SDK.

dotnet restore Winora.slnx --locked-mode
dotnet build Winora.slnx -c Release --no-restore
dotnet run --project src/Winora.Desktop -c Release --no-build

How to use it

Three steps: pick a change, review it, undo it any time

  1. Start Winora and accept the administrator prompt. On the first start, a short guide offers a restore point and a profile.
  2. Open a page, for example Customize, and pick the values you want. Your changes wait in the Action center.
  3. Choose Review changes (or press Ctrl+Enter) and confirm. To go back, open History and choose Undo this change.

Privacy

  • Winora has no telemetry, no account, no ads and no auto-update. It sends nothing over the network.
  • Your history and preferences stay on your PC.
  • Winora runs as administrator because it changes settings for the whole PC, services, scheduled tasks and installed programs.

Safety

  • You see every change before it happens.
  • Winora writes each change to its journal first, then checks that Windows kept the new value.
  • Undo will not overwrite a value that something else changed after Winora.
  • Windows components, drivers and other protected items are locked.
  • When a change cannot be undone, such as removing a program, the review says so before you confirm.

FAQ

Can I undo a change? Yes, from the History page. Removing a program cannot be undone, and the review says so first.

What happens when I uninstall Winora? Your Windows settings stay as they are. Undo the changes you want back from History before you uninstall.

Does it work on Windows 10? No. Winora is made for Windows 11.

Is Winora made by Microsoft? No. It is an independent project. Windows is a trademark of Microsoft.
