57 switches Windows 11 does not show you.
Seeing which are on is free.
None of them is a secret — they all exist in the Windows registry, scattered across screens Microsoft never connects. Maximize gathers all 57 in one place, tells you the state of each before you touch anything, and undoes without charging. Only applying is paid.
What leaves your machine, by category.
Every dot is one of the 57 controls. Lit, it pushes something outward. Switch a category off and watch the field cool down, that is literally what the app does, except there it is the real keys on your own Windows.

Count as of today, version 0.1.5. Microsoft moves keys between builds; when it does, the list moves with it.
The seven that arrived later
The AI layer nobody asked for.
Seven of the 57 controls did not exist two years ago. They arrived switched on, through an update, with no screen asking. The heaviest is first on the list.

The cost we accept
Undo gives back the Windows default, not your old value.
Here the revert deletes the key rather than rewriting what was there. The effect is Windows behaving as it does out of the box, not as your PC was yesterday. That is a real loss, and it is written down because it is true.
The reason is dull and correct: a registry backup ages in silence. Kept for weeks, it restores a state Windows abandoned two updates ago, and you find out at the worst moment. A factory default does not age.
The exception is services. There the original value is captured before any write, and the app refuses to disable if it cannot read that value first. We would rather not act than act without being able to undo.
The commercial rule, in full
- Seeing the state of all 57
- Free. No sign-up, no cap on how often.
- Undoing what was applied
- Free. Including if you stop paying, the revert button is never locked.
- Applying in bulk
- Paid. That is the only part a plan is required for.
No optimizer that locks the revert behind payment can call itself reversible. That is the reason for the rule.
Start by just looking.
Install it, open System Hardening and read the state of all 57 on your own Windows. You do not have to apply anything to know what is on, and that reading costs nothing.
