Is WinAero Tweaker safe?

One should be able to use any and all methods to tweak their version of Windows 11 as long as it does not break anything. For Microsoft to Block any application that does this is just wrong.

WinAero tweaker doesn't work unless the account you are using is a member of administrators, and you are happy to allow it to elevate.

It's a collection of tweaks, some require administrator rights, some are implemented in a way that requires administrator rights, these should (mostly) work if you elevate with another account. Some are user level tweaks, which work for the current user of the program, so if you elevate with another account they operate for that user account.

Most tweaking programs make this assumption - so as I use an unprivileged account, I write my own tweaks. A lot of the tweaks on this site include the note that administrative rights are required - in most cases they can be performed for the current user without extra privileges.

As others have said WinAero tweaker's documentation is helpful, and a useful source of information as is this site.

Ditto! It's the best all-around tweaker for Windows.
