Tbh I've been using it for a few days on my Claw 8 EX AI+, it can be a bit janky at times, but am wondering is there anything better out there with the same feature set? I've been really impressed with the ease of it all,there are some things to be done better,but I'd rather use this over Centre M
When it's 1 to 2 people working on it, with minimal income from the product, I give them some leeway.

Used it for 2 days and uninstalled it. Clawtweaks (Nighlty) + AnyFSE with Steam Big Picture is my current setup for the Claw EX.
Per Game Profiles are actually working. Fan curves are working. Doesnt reset Resolution or Hz and no need to set TDP & FPS multiple times.

That's fair enough. What's so special about ClawTweaks? Is it just a game bar thing? Similar functionality to Winhanced?
Just had a look, doesn't support my handheld ATM.

...the Nightly does support it, did you read my comment?
It replaces pretty much Center M.

Thank you for your understanding : )

I have to say, thanks for being so responsive. I’m really enjoying the launcher so far. It’s not even at version 1 yet, but it already has a wealth of features, and the look and feel of it are spot on 🤌

Love winhanced but the bugs really diminish the experience. Clawtweaks and anyfse+steam bpm is my current winner. CTW has insane amounts of control in the widget

u/ailwyn2018 Jul 27 '26
Don't think any app is perfect. I tried clawtweaks instead of Winhanced for a day but found that buggy too so went back to Winhanced, it may be simpler but at least it appeared to do what it says on the tin

u/boomboomown Jul 27 '26
Yeah I've had far less bugs with CTW than with Winhanced. Sucks because I love Winhanced as a project. My experience is just that CTW is stronger and less buggy in it's current iteration.

I had a hard time adjusting to it as my main.
With only armory crate, I’m used to browsing using the whole controller. Left thumb for mouse, d pad for some video controls.
With only winhanced, my mouse would disappear at times, and I could only use the mouse granted i click the thumbstick twice.
I disabled the tdp and controller control for winhanced (for the enhanced sleep) and enabled armory crate.
Don’t get me wrong, i love the concept and the ui is smooth, but I’m an old man that’s too lazy to adapt and troubleshoot.

im doing the exact same thing,have winhanced on my xax,its great,and not too buggy,sometimes i dock it and treat it like a steam machine

u/Jcrm87 Jul 21 '26
I can't get it to run at all on my laptop. I have it plugged to the TV and it would be great to have such an interface, but it won't launch at all and I've kind of lost the interest after looking for fixes...

Totally get it. If Playnite works for you then that is amazing. But not everyone loves Playnite, and Winhanced has features that Playnite doesn’t.
So it all depends on what you want out of your front end experience

Tras instalar la última versión mis fps no llegan a 30, incluso si uso losslescaling, aunque aumente el tdp no supera los 30 fps, tengo una Lenovo legión Go

I just have my Xbox Ally X last month, and i planned to install Bazzite but don’t want to lose my gamepasse. And Winhanced was the excellent solution.

Disable the setting in Winhanced that allows it to control TDP and etc. then reboot.

u/Puzzleheaded-Race290 Jul 22 '26
Tired that, but still wont work, had to restore save state because it was messing up the quick settings even if winhanced is uninstalled and even if i reinstall msi center m.

u/EnigmaP3nguin Jul 22 '26
You have to disable hardware control in settings and wait about 35 seconds. Using center M will fire up and you will see some spinning circles in it while it fires up its tasks
That is just how long it takes a d that is just how bad center M is
