Windows 11 · 64-bit
Power profiles, core parking, fan curves, startup entries, and the switches Microsoft moved six menus deep. Wyxen puts them on one screen, tells you what each one actually changes, and puts every one of them back.
Profiles that set the dozen values underneath them, not one slider.
Draw the curve, watch the temperature trace answer it.
Everything that launches with Windows, including what Task Manager hides.
Preinstalled apps and background services, each with a plain description.
Every change is logged, and every one of them can be put back.
Or install from PowerShell
irm https://get.wyxen.app | iex The app
Each control says what it does before you touch it, and shows what it changed after.
Pick how the machine should behave and Wyxen sets the dozen things underneath that decide it.
Draw the curve, watch the trace. Package and GPU history is plotted over time, so you can see whether a curve is actually holding.
Remove the preinstalled apps and background services you never asked for, one at a time and with a plain description of each.
Everything that launches with Windows in one list, including the entries Task Manager does not show you.
Clocks, temperatures, load and draw in the tray. One click for the full readout, no second app running.
Trust
Wyxen runs elevated and edits system state. That is a lot to ask of a program you downloaded five minutes ago, so here is exactly what it does and how to check the build you got.
Each toggle writes a line to a local log: what it read, what it wrote, when. Open it any time.
Wyxen creates one before its first write of a session. If something goes sideways, roll the machine back.
Anything Wyxen can turn on it can turn off. Where Windows makes that impossible, the control says so before you use it.
The installer contains one program. It ships no partner offers, and using the app requires no sign-in.
The complete set of surfaces Wyxen can modify. Nothing outside this list.
Run
Get-FileHash on the installer and compare. If it does not match, do not run it. The installer
then verifies the application it downloads against its own published checksum
before running it.
SHA256 · WyxenSetup.exe
Checksum appears here once a release is published.
Download
You download a small installer. It fetches the current build of Wyxen, puts it in your Start menu, and keeps it updated from then on. A link you saved months ago still installs today's version.
Download Wyxen for WindowsInstall from an admin PowerShell
irm https://get.wyxen.app | iex Wyxen needs administrator rights, because power settings and startup entries are machine-wide. It asks once, at launch, and never runs a service in the background.
Questions
It can change how your machine behaves, which is the point, and Wyxen creates a restore point before its first write of each session. Every control is reversible unless the control itself says otherwise, and it says so before you use it, not after.
Power plans, startup entries, services and provisioned apps are machine-wide state. Windows will not let a normal process touch them. Wyxen asks for elevation once at launch and does not install a background service or a driver.
Not today. Instead of asking you to take that on faith, Wyxen publishes the SHA256 of every release, a VirusTotal report, the full list of registry and system surfaces it can write to, and a local log of every change it makes on your machine.
That is SmartScreen reacting to a publisher it has not seen often, not to anything found in the file. Compare the SHA256 in the Trust section against Get-FileHash on your download before you continue. If they match, the file is the one we published.
What you download is a small installer, not the whole program. It pulls the current build at install time, so a link you saved months ago still gives you today's version, and updates afterwards replace only what changed instead of a fresh 76 MB every time.
It targets Windows 11. Several of the controls read and write state that behaves differently on 10, and testing against an OS Microsoft has stopped supporting is not a good use of the time.
Each screen has a reset that restores the Windows defaults for that screen. Uninstalling Wyxen does not revert your changes, deliberately, because reverting settings you chose on purpose during an uninstall would be a surprise. Reset first, then uninstall.
The app sends one anonymous ping on first launch with a random identifier and the version number, so we can tell how many downloads become working installs. No hardware fingerprint, no usage tracking, and it can be turned off in settings.
