Winrift v26.3
Simplify11 is now Winrift — rewritten from the ground up.
Built-in Benchmarks
Measure 13 system metrics before and after tweaks — CPU load, RAM, DPC rate, disk latency, context switches. JSON snapshots, Markdown reports, automatic comparison. No other Windows tweaker does this.
Typical results on clean Windows 11 24H2:
CPU idle load: 3.2% → 1.1% (-66%) · RAM: 2,800 → 2,100 MB (-25%) · Processes: 142 → 98 (-31%) · DPC rate: 48 → 22/s (-54%)
What Changed
- New architecture — shared utility framework grew from 5 lines to 386. Structured logging, reusable menus, SHA256-verified downloads, config-driven tool dispatch, registry write verification

- Security module — DefendNot, RemoveWindowsAI, privacy.sexy with hash verification before execution
- Power Management — aggressive power tweaks split into separate module with AC power warning

- Desktop Ricing reorganized into Terminal, VSCode, Apps, and Customization submenus
- Windows Terminal — admin elevation opens a new tab in current window
