questions and answers

Why does WTTk require admin permissions?

Admin permissions are required for access to modify registry keys, which is required to apply the tweaks it offers.

Where is the source code?

It is available in it's GitHub repository.

Why do I get a Windows SmartScreen warning?

WTTk is distributed as an unsigned executable, because it's expensive to get a digital signature. Because WTTk is not a popular application, Windows Smartscreen has a tiny dataset to decide if it's a legitimate application or not, and throws a pre-emptive warning. Simply click 'More information', then 'Run anyways'.

WTTk doesn't work, throws an error on launch!

WTTk requires .NET Framework 4.8 in order to run. Windows 10 should already have this out of the box. If you're running an older version of Windows, you'll need to pick it up off Microsoft's website.
