# WinSlap



Swiftly configure a fresh Windows 10 installation with useful tweaks and antispy settings.





    WinSlap v1.7




WinSlap is primarily developed for my own use cases. Feel free to use it under any terms the license permits. However, I can not guarantee that it works as intended, doesn't break your system or is actively maintained.



## Goals



 1. 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)

 2. No bloat. WinSlap does what it's features list says and nothing else.



## Note



WinSlap is currently developed for and tested against **Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64-bit)** on single-user systems. While it should work on older versions and can work on newer versions or multi-user systems, I have not tested it myself.
