The Miscellaneous section contains a collection of standalone registry tweaks that customise the Windows shell, taskbar, and visual behaviour. Each tweak is independent — you can apply any combination without affecting the others. All changes are made to the Windows Registry viaDocumentation Index

reg add commands and take effect either immediately or after a sign-out/reboot, as noted.
Set Classic Right-Click Menu
Restores the Windows 10-style context menu on Windows 11 by registering an empty in-process COM server for the CLSID that controls the new menu. When this key is present, Windows falls back to the classic menu.Disable Multiplane Overlay (MPO)
SetsOverlayTestMode to 5 in the Desktop Window Manager registry key, which instructs the GPU driver to disable Multiplane Overlay composition.
MPO is a GPU driver feature that allows multiple display planes to be composited in hardware. On some systems — particularly those with NVIDIA GPUs — it can cause screen flickering, black flashes, or application crashes. Disabling it is a widely recommended workaround for these driver-level issues and does not affect gaming performance on most hardware. A reboot is required.
Add End Task to Context Menu
Enables the End Task option in the taskbar right-click context menu, allowing you to terminate a running application directly without opening Task Manager.Move Taskbar Icons to Left
Sets the taskbar alignment to left-aligned (0) instead of the Windows 11 default of centre-aligned (1). This matches the classic Windows 10 taskbar layout.
Disable Numlock on Startup
Sets the initial keyboard state so that Num Lock is off when Windows starts. By default, some systems enable Num Lock at boot.Enable Dark Mode
Disables Light Mode for both system UI elements and applications by setting bothAppsUseLightTheme and SystemUsesLightTheme to 0. This switches the entire Windows interface — including the taskbar, Start menu, and apps that respect the system setting — to dark mode.
Show File Extensions
Reveals file extensions (e.g.,.exe, .txt, .docx) for known file types in Windows Explorer. By default, Windows hides extensions for registered file types.
Disable Sticky Keys
Sets the Sticky Keys accessibility flags to58, which disables the feature and suppresses the prompt that appears when Shift is pressed five times in rapid succession.
Disable Snap Layout Flyout
Disables the Snap Assist flyout that appears when you hover over a window’s maximise button on Windows 11, without disabling Snap itself. Window snapping via keyboard shortcuts and dragging continues to work normally.Enable Detailed BSOD
SetsDisplayParameters to 1 in the Crash Control registry key, causing Windows to display additional technical parameters on the Blue Screen of Death — including the stop code, faulting module, and memory address — rather than showing only the generic QR code screen.
Enable Verbose Logon
SetsVerboseStatus to 1, which causes Windows to display detailed status messages during sign-in and sign-out (e.g., “Applying your personal settings”, “Saving your settings”) instead of showing a blank screen with a spinner.
Verbose logon messages can help diagnose slow login times by revealing exactly which step in the sign-in process is taking longest.
