Modifying Windows features

Settings such as Windows Defender, Superfetch (SysMain), UAC and Notifications can all be toggled in the new Revision Tool. The shortcut to this application can be found on your desktop.

The Revision Tool only works on ReviOS 22.10 and newer. Not all functions of the latest tool version will work on all the older ReviOS builds.

Examplatory list of functions that will not work:

  • Windows Defender before 11 21.12 and 10 22.01
  • Superfetch before 22.05
  • Full Screen Optimizations before 10 22.06 and 11 22.07
No Shortcut on the Desktop
On 22.11 and newer

The new Revision Tool is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Revision Tool. Run the revitool.exe directly, or create a shortcut to it on the desktop.

Older ReviOS builds (LEGACY TOOL)

The tool is located under %userprofile%\Documents\Workspace\Revision-Tool. You can run Start.bat directly, or create a shortcut to it on your desktop.

If you cannot find the Revision Tool, or you just want to download it, you can do so on the official GitHub page.
