Sparkle tweaks are individual, targeted changes to Windows settings, registry keys, and system services. Each tweak is scoped to a single concern — you can apply them selectively and, where supported, reverse them at any time. Tweaks are grouped into five categories based on what they affect:

Performance

Power plans, process priority, services, and other tweaks that reduce latency and improve system responsiveness.

Privacy

Disable telemetry, location tracking, Recall, consumer features, and other data-collection mechanisms.

Gaming

Game Mode, HAGS, NVIDIA settings, windowed game optimization, and more for a better in-game experience.

Appearance

Taskbar alignment, dark mode, clock format, context menu style, and other visual customizations.

Network & General

Network stack tuning, mouse acceleration, debloating, system utilities, and general Windows settings.

All tweaks

The table below lists every tweak available in Sparkle. Risk levels are safe, caution, or risky. The Reversible column indicates whether the tweak can be undone from within Sparkle.

Risk levels reflect the potential for unintended side effects, not the likelihood of data loss. Always read the description of a tweak before applying it.
