How many of these tweeks can be done without editing the Registry? And if they are all registry modifications can’t you just backup the registry before applying the changes?


I haven't tried Windows 11 but on 10, a lot of these tweaks and opt-outs are available in the system settings now.

You can backup the registry or create restore points but I don't think that you can selectively revert these changes like a commit. If you don't intend to reinstall Windows often, I would just take the time to go through these settings manually instead to be on the safe side...


This is what "System Restore" is for: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/use-system-resto...

It looks like they're all registry modifications, yes.


I have had issues where a restore point didn't revert certain registry settings and have had to do a full reinstall.


Can you give some more info? Which version of Windows? Because I've never had a system restore go crazy unless a hard drive has gotten corrupted.


Wouldn't doing it through a UI still result in the changes being saved to the registry?
