i would just like to add to this comment since me editing it may not get your attention.


i just found a program by microsoft itself named SubInACL which from what i understand restores ALL registry permissions to defaults, can you confirm deny that this would fix my issue?

here is an 8 minute video how he uses this program to reset all registry permissions back to windows defaults, if you dont mind could you have a look?

he basically uses the program to run these commands

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f

after which you can see every registry key reverting back to default in command prompt,

yeah i have tried Shanes advice to just untick everything and hit apply, unfortunetally in my case it doesnt change anything, atleast visually, if anything it just takes off the Aero theme to classic or "unsaved" but other than that the fonts all over the system is fucked up, the toolbar is not changing colors when changing themes just as when you drag a window it does not drag it it just shows the outline of the window moving ntill you release the click, so basically nothing changed after unticking everything and hitting apply.

ok so i have went along and tried what the video suggested, i have reverted EVERY registry key back to its default, STILL NO CHANGE TO THE VISUALS that were made by the simple tweaker what the actual **** like..... wtf? does this mean if i created a restore point and used it it would have not worked? i mean there was an auto-backup made, and restoring to it did not restore the visual tweaks, just as resetting every registry key back to default still doesnt revert the visuals back to the way they were before using the program? what the...?? this is the first time ive had such a mindfuck on a pc (sorry for my language) im just really frustrated because i cannot work on my pc because of this stupid problem....

So i kinda fixed my issue.... and that was by googling "visual styles on windows and buttons" as this is one of the features the program turns off, the plan was to google every feature and turn it back on but it landed my on a page that tweaks all the visual stuff,
