WinSlap is a tiny tool that provides you with control over which functions in Windows 10 you choose to use and how far data gets shared. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10 should respect your privacy by making recommendations and giving tips for which unwanted functions should be deactivated. There are a lot of options to browse, but WinSlap tries to make life easier by organizing them in several tabs: Tweaks, Appearance, Software and Advanced. No Installation required. Once downloaded, WinSlap is a standalone, portable application that doesn’t even need installing to work.
Goals:
- Apply tweaks to a fresh installation of Windows 10 after using a clean retail image (if you"re looking to apply tweaks during installation, check out image creation tools)
- No bloat. WinSlap does what it"s features list says and nothing else.
