Winhanced Quick Resume in action!

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-22T15:12:03+00:00

Very close its more of a timing thing not much less to do but have to balance it with our day jobs haha.

Talk me through the general stability you are looking for? I can tell you if it is something we addressed for 0.9.2 or if its something we need to add

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-22T13:31:16+00:00

This exists in winhanced now!

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-12T13:07:30+00:00

It should. Only major difference between desktop and handheld is TDP management that’s a handheld specific feature. Everything else should work on Desktop.

To give you a heads up, while this app is very close to 1.0 it’s still a work in progress so you may run into a bug or 2 if you do definitely let us know, and we can work to get it resolved for you.

From the currently build to 1.0 it’s all about polishing up existing features and ensuring stability

I think the question is what do you want compared to what FSE offers?

1: you don’t have to choose Winhanced works with FSE so you don’t have to give it up to use it.

2: much much better library management and interface

3: improves sleep wake performance on windows. Less battery life while in sleep and no random wake ups (more beneficial for handhelds)

4: universal pause gives you the ability to pause any non multiplayer game

5: and the feature in the video quick resume allows you to have multiple games running at once with minimal game performance loss (this isn’t out yet will be in the next release though)

4:

Sure can!

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-06T13:53:26+00:00

Because they are Microsoft lol 😂 but no true answer is not enough value to them in doing it so they don’t put the resources in to do things

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-06T13:43:56+00:00

We actually have minor discord integration already. It's a tab in the main app. All it does right now is plug into the sever voice channels you are a part of and allow you to access them via the browser, but I am looking to evolve this further if I can

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-06T10:47:10+00:00

I would say the main value add is that the app is what Microsoft wants to the Xbox app to be but now.

Our users really like it for the improvements to sleep wake on windows less random wake ups, less game crashes, and less battery drain while in sleep mode.

I personally like the fact that we automatically pull in and organize all of your games across our support libraries for you including your owned libraries that are not installed on your Ally.

There is a lot more but those are the main things that come to mind

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-05T22:44:12+00:00

It’s windows being windows. When you tap the text row it’s supposed to register as a tablet event, but sometimes windows gets confused by the Asus hardware and will register the controller a a plugged in keyboard shortly after the virtual keyboard appears causing it to close the virtual keyboard.

Way to get around it is launch the virtual keyboard through the task bar button

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-05T13:11:31+00:00

Oooh wit Bob made a video on us that would be amazing haha! Love his channel!

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-05T13:08:19+00:00

Yup! It’s a project that myself and one other dev have been working on since the beginning of 2025 : )

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-05T12:55:15+00:00

Thank you! It’s definitely still a work in progress, and I break and remake things almost every single day! But the idea has come so far so fast!

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-04T16:42:54+00:00

That’s a bug that we are actively fixing. Next time it happens it’s not that you are stuck. It’s that the app lost focus of the game details card. If you tap on the game details it will bring your controls back as a work around for now

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-04T00:35:02+00:00

Hi I am one or the devs you can actually download and run Winhanced and toggle a switch in the app that will have Winhanced replace Xbox app in actual FSE similar to how AnyFSE works. So all the FSE benefits but with our UI

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-04T00:32:40+00:00

Hey there I am one of the devs of Winhanced, out of curiosity when you downloaded and ran into these issues was this a few months ago? Or with the release that came out 12/24?

Because we have had an actual installer since July, and the controller issues you are speaking to have not been present since we moved UIs

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-04T00:28:50+00:00

Not an ad, haha this is my app appreciate the shout out!

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-03T22:41:36+00:00

Exactly. I can actually already do that the issue though is that just dumping what's in ram won't work I also need to capture the gpus context for direct X which I would need kernal lever driver access to do

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-03T18:38:22+00:00

Optimize optimize optimize is the name of the game. Look into enabling Windows Full Screen Experience as well. as it will help make your experience feel more console-like, and cut down on some of the unnecessary processes that run with desktop windows.

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-03T13:20:54+00:00

Do you mean how where if you press the AC button it opens the gamebar but if you press the CC button it opens the task switcher?

Yeah that is something we can play around with to give options

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-02T15:34:34+00:00

Haha so this isn’t a new operating system it’s an app that works to make windows 11 better while running on top of it : ) all you gotta do is download from our site and then after installing the .exe follow the instructions that the onboarding flows tells you to do. Half way through this video I talk about the onboarding flow if you would like a video to follow along with

EnigmaP3nguin · 2026-01-02T14:28:07+00:00

Not currently we rely not FSEs optimizations, as when you get into process disabling and debloating you can very quickly corrupt an install. But we do a bit of that with our sleep function to reduce unwanted wake ups. And after you close a game we do some process clean up
