This is so silly, but I wanted to share because I have been trying to get this feature working for 2 months. I finally cracked letting users into the app immediately while also importing owned uninstalled libraries in the background, while ALSO updating the UI in real time to reflect what has been imported already!
No more waiting around!
2025-12-19 14:41:21 +0000 UTC View PostNew features:
Animated game art with toggle-able visibility
v0.9.1.1 adds in the ability to turn on animated game art for the games that support it (this pulls automatically from SteamGridDB if it exists, if no animation exists it will display the current hero art instead. This feature is on and behind the frosted glass layer by default but both the glass layer, and the animations themselves can be turned off. Winhanced Watchdog

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you to all of you who have joined our Patreon community. Seeing the support start to pour in, especially from those of you who have become paid members, has been incredibly encouraging. Building Winhanced has been a labor of love, and knowing there are people out there who believe in this project enough to support it directly means the world to me.
Now, for the fun part. Here is what has been cooking si...
2025-12-06 17:09:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
I have a hot fix patch for everyone 0.9.0.4: the few folks that tested .3 for me yesterday called out that the RTSS not launching error was persisting into the new release. I also noticed an error in our OTA updates code for Winhanced that would let a user see updates but not be able to download them. We also through in some extra goodies for everyone: New Features:

In the widget just make sure you h...
Winhanced v0.9 is here for Early Access Patreon and Discord Members This update mainly focused App Stability, performance, consistency, speed, and polish. From my personal testing on my Ally X and Z13 I would say the app is currently in a state where it can be your daily driver! This is a big one. Here's what you need to know:
Startup is now ~30 seconds instead of 30+ minutes. Yeah, you read that right. Games show up immediately while everythin...
2025-11-25 18:17:31 +0000 UTC View PostWith the next release of Winhanced (currently available in early access for members) if you enable the new Windows Full Screen Experience, we have added the option for users to set Winhanced as the default front end, so now you can use Winhanced and all of its features combined with the added benefits and debloat that the FSE offers.
Best of both worlds!

2025-09-18 13:19:09 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for 3 pings in 3 days. but we have another hotfix to share with folks. We have been working with a few community members for the last few days and have rolled all of the last patches and widget updates into one installer now!
I refuse to jinx myself by saying this should be the stable patch for everyone, but this should be a stable patch for everyone lol!
Outside of the general stability fixes one key call out is this version uses a new enhanced process monitoring system...

A couple of things to keep in mind is that this build is moving from MSIX Packaging to Unpackaged so we moved back to a traditional installer to compensate for this. I am no sure how this will e...
Hey everyone!
We’ve been heads-down working through some tricky problems, and things are finally starting to click into place.
The in-app overlay is now fully working from a functionality perspective. This has been one of the biggest hurdles, and I can’t overstate how good it feels to finally have it working properly!
We did hit a snag along the way—the way the app was packaged originally limited what we co...
