    I'm very suspicious of any program that claims to "fix Windows errors and optimize system performance" and you should be too. There's no substitute for your own knowledge and judgement if you want to fix a problem or 'optimize' your computer's performance. A third-party program can't make those decisions for you.

    Fixer/optimizer programs rarely do anything of lasting value and frequently cause serious harm to your computer. And when they do cause serious harm, which might happen immediately or in the future, like during the next Windows update, you won't know what went wrong because you won't know what the program did or how to reverse it, if that's even possible.

    If you have a problem that you need to fix, address that problem directly. Ask about it here or show your computer to a professional. If you want your computer to run as well as it can, you can learn how to do that. It's not hard.

    If someone came up to you on the street and said "I can fix any problem you have, just leave it to me and don't ask questions," would you let them? Why would you let the same thing happen to your PC?

    Winaero tweaker is a handy tool to customize Windows components that Windows by itself does not allow to. A recent example is customising font size. However, I would take caution to modify only those settings which are very necessary

    Hi Vampire Fox. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    I don't recommend Tweaking suites. But as my colleague Summit mentioned there are those who appreciate the font resizing only available now through this one.

    What I would do to cover myself is save a System Image backup externally so you can go back in 20 minutes to where you are now at any time for any reason. Use the free app all experts recommend here: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/7363/macrium-re...

    Then before each tweak you make with the app set a System Restore point after making sure System Restore is turned on for C and as much space as you can afford (5-15%) is configured for it. http://home.bt.com/tech-gadgets/computing/how-t...

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
