Changes in v26.06.12
Features
- Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines.
- Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized.
- Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu.
- Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages.
- New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup.
- New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control.
- App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser.
- New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser.
Bug Fixes
- Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%.
- Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced.
- Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default.
- Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections.
- OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs.
- Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path.
- WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output.
- Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression.
- Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan.
