ThisIsNot11: another open source Windows tweaker for

Posted on February 24, 2025February 24, 2025 by Martin Brinkmann

There is certainly no shortage of tweaking tools for Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system. If I had to guess, Windows 11 is probably the Microsoft operating system with the largest number of programs of this kind ever.

Serial developer Belim has created a new tool. It is a bit difficult to keep track of all of Belim’s tools. First, because there are so many, and second, because Belim loves to change the names of his tools.

Windows 11 Tweaker: ThisIsNot11

ThisIsNot11 is a small open source tool. Designed as a follow-up tool after using the developer’s FlyBy11 tool to upgrade systems to new Windows 11 versions — even those deemed not compatible — it is quite easy to use. At the same time, it is not as feature-rich as crowd-favorite tweakers such as WinAero Tweaker.

When you run the tool after you have downloaded it, you are asked to give it quick access to the Start menu. It scans installed apps and settings, and bases its suggests on that scan. The app resembles the Windows 11 Start menu, which is intentional according to the developer.

From here on, it is just a matter of selecting tweaks to apply them. For apps, you need to check them and hit the “remove selected” button to uninstall them.

Important tweaks are included. You can use the app to disable advertisement, remove individual apps from the system, hide Copilot and other icons on the taskbar, or enable the full content menu of File Explorer.

All tweaks have a description, which helps identify what they do, especially for regular users who are new to optimizing Windows 11.

Verdict

ThisIsNot11 is a tiny less than 100 kilobyte tool to tweak Windows 11. It is an easy to use tool, which is great for less-experienced users. The app explains the tweaks that it supports well and everything is accessible on a single screen. While you do need to scroll a bit to access all tweaks, it is one of the easiest tools to use.

Part of that comes from the limited number of tweaks that it supports at this stage. If you want to quickly apply many important tweaks, it may be worth a shot. If you want the largest number of tweaks possible in a tool, you need to look elsewhere.

Now you: do you use tweaking tools for Windows? Or do you prefer to apply tweaks manually instead? Feel free to leave a comment down below.
