Your PC, your choices

Turn off the AI features Windows keeps switching on, and choose who resolves your DNS, with honest limits stated up front and everything reversible from History.

• Turn off Windows AI features. Four new actions cover Notepad's AI writing, Paint's AI image tools (the three that have documented off switches), and the Edge sidebar, plus one combined action that also runs the existing Copilot, Recall, and AI Explorer disables in a single pass with a single permission prompt. The combined action is honest about its limits: it turns off the AI features Windows lets us turn off, and it tells you which parts need a manual step instead, like uninstalling the Copilot app or the separate Copilot button in newer Edge versions. One honest detail worth knowing: Windows only offers an off switch for the whole Edge sidebar, so Copilot goes and the other sidebar apps go with it, and the app says so before you confirm
• Every AI change is a registry setting we back up before writing, and the undo is value-exact: it restores what was there and removes only what the fix added, even on a machine where the setting never existed before. Undoing never touches values that other software, Windows, or your IT department added in the meantime
• Choose your DNS provider in chat. Eight presets: Google, Cloudflare, Cloudflare Family, Quad9, OpenDNS Home, OpenDNS FamilyShield, AdGuard, and AdGuard Family, every address verified against the provider's own documentation. Filtering presets say up front that some sites will fail to load on purpose, and FamilyShield is IPv4 only, which the app also says before you confirm. History records that the app changed your DNS, not fixed it, because a choice is not a repair
• The DNS change refuses to run where it should not: on work machines (including ones managed through Microsoft Entra or MDM), over an active VPN, or where someone deliberately set a custom resolver like a Pi-hole, now checked over IPv6 as well as IPv4. And the undo restores exactly what actually changed, adapter by adapter, including setups that got their DNS automatically
• Saying no is respected. Declining a Windows permission prompt is now recorded as cancelled, not failed. The app offers the same fix again later instead of escalating to a harsher one, and declining prompts can no longer trigger the we-are-out-of-options support card
• The file-lock detector from 1.7.29 got a hardening pass from an independent cross-model review: quoted Windows error messages are no longer mistaken for file paths, security software is named as a possible cause rather than the confirmed blocker, and asking about a stuck USB drive now gets honest eject guidance. That review ran seventeen rounds against this release before we tagged it and every confirmed finding was fixed first
