Third-Party Notices

PleaseTweakWindows is MIT-licensed. It interoperates with, downloads at runtime, or ships configuration for the following third-party tools and data. They are the property of their respective owners and are not covered by this project's MIT license. Their own terms apply.

O&O ShutUp10++

  • Owner: O&O Software GmbH — https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
  • Use: The Privacy category downloads OOSU10.exe from dl5.oo-software.com at runtime and applies a settings profile shipped in scripts/Privacy Security/regs/ooshutup10.cfg (generated by O&O ShutUp10++). The executable is not redistributed in this repository; it is fetched on demand and Authenticode-verified before execution.
  • O&O ShutUp10++ is freeware provided by O&O Software. Review their terms before use.

HotCakeX — Official IANA IP blocks

HotCakeX — Harden-Windows-Security (MIT)

  • Source: https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security — © HotCakeX, MIT License
  • Use: Some hardening tweaks (ASR rules, Defender, Edge, HVCI/Device Guard, country-IP blocking) were informed by this MIT-licensed project. The settings themselves are non-copyrightable Microsoft facts (registry keys, ASR GUIDs, Set-MpPreference names) re-implemented with this project's own toolkit; this attribution is included to satisfy the MIT notice requirement for any adapted material.

Bundled .NET libraries

The release is a single-file, self-contained win-x64 build, so the following NuGet packages and the .NET 10 runtime assemblies are redistributed inside PleaseTweakWindows.exe. Their licenses require retaining the copyright/permission notice in binary redistributions:

  • CommunityToolkit.Mvvm — MIT — © .NET Foundation and Contributors
  • Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection / .Logging / .Logging.Abstractions — MIT — © Microsoft Corporation
  • Serilog, Serilog.Sinks.File, Serilog.Sinks.Console, Serilog.Extensions.Logging — Apache-2.0 — © Serilog Contributors
  • .NET 10 runtime / WindowsDesktop runtime assemblies — MIT — © Microsoft Corporation

Release archives include a licenses/ directory with the applicable package and .NET runtime license/notice files. The shipped SBOM.json (CycloneDX) enumerates exact package versions.

Microsoft Windows facts

Registry keys, Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rule GUIDs, and Set-MpPreference flag names used throughout the scripts are non-copyrightable factual identifiers published by Microsoft.

These vendor tools are downloaded from their official sources at runtime (not redistributed here) and verified (pinned SHA256 or Authenticode) before execution:
