How It Works

JavaFX GUI
    |
powershell -File <script>.ps1 -Action "<action-id>"
    |
Category Scripts  (Non-interactive dispatchers)
Revert Scripts    (Restore defaults + repair components)

• Individual sub-tweaks are executed via -Action parameter
• Revert scripts restore defaults and optionally repair affected components
• A system restore point prompt appears before any changes

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• Administrator privileges
• Windows PowerShell 5.1 (built-in)
• Visual C++ Redistributable (most systems already have this installed)
