As you may already know Renoise supports installation of additional tools to extend software functionality beyond the boundaries of existence.
Here is my personal collection of best addon tools for Renoise.
I’m very satisfied that I covered such a large topic and pretty sure that it is the most complete Windows 7 tweaking guide ever. But due to the lack of spare time it is still in unfinished state, so consider it as a stack of knowledge. Document contain all information [posted here]
plus loads of more detailed stuff.

Maybe, if i have more free time, i’ll return back to the topic to clean things up someday.

Previous owner of my main laptop installed the most modern intel WiFi chip, [AX200]
to be precise. Unfortunately, chip does not have drivers for beloved Windows 7. Yeah intel dropped support in 2019. So, i have to downgrade wireless card. Found on eBay compatible [Dell WiFi 1820]
: the last one to support Windows 7 operating system.
I always loved Dell’s Precision series for super easy installation of hardware upgrades.

¶ ESSENTIAL INTRODUCTION Finally I get up all one’s courage to compile and publish essential stuff regarding Windows 7 optimization. Note that full version of the guide will be released somewhere around early 2023. Check the warm place to stay on the edge. And now….Let’s dive into the tweaking process!
All console commands should be executed from command line with with administrative privileges. Most of mentioned tweaks could be done via control panel, to enter it in a fast way just type in command line or execute Start Run:

FAQ ver 0.1b
▓ PREFACE This comprehensive guide will be handy for those of you who can’t figure out why hp printer is not detected by windows using usb connection and for those of you who are asking himself/herself “why do i need to do usb plug to setup device for wireless work?”
hp is notoriously known in terms of really s#cky printer drivers. During all my career of system administrator i’ve constantly ran into driver related problems with hp devices.
By default software forbids execution when you are using classic desktop and aero is not enabled.
However, there is a nice workaround. By adding –no-dwm-warning switch to starting shortcut you can avoid internal restriction.
"C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe" --no-dwm-warning NOTE: with some graphical drivers you may experience visual artifacts and not so precise image rendering.

▒ HARDWARE Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra BIOS: F34 [F35b breaks compatibility with Windows 7]
I think that guide will be useful due to nightmarish non-ergonomic structure of Gigabyte’s BIOS menus.
▒ UEFI vs MBR Windows 7 supports UEFI only partially, there is no native handling of this modern tech. I don’t see any reason to use UEFI, only if you want to boot from drive which is larger than 2TB.
UPDATED ON: 2023-02-06 v1.0b: please [contact me]
if you find errors or inaccuracies.
In this guide i will quickly show my system configuration tweaked for privacy. I’m using essential stuff like 3G/4G/WiFi & BT. Additional pleasantries are blocked.

Today, I’ve accidentally deleted local .git index folder of my blog repository, because of this I was not able to submit new content. Tried to restore files by File Scavenger, but it was too late because I was in the middle of active file operations and .git folder was erased without any chance of returning it back to drive.
I’ve tried to recreate index by means of:
git init But Git-Bash-console threw me an error:

One of the most distinctive features of FireFox was customization. With each new version it becomes less customizable, thanks to marketing people at mozilla corp. They do everything to make Firefox look like google chrome.

Some really quick software lists with information on which version of application is a last one to run on Windows 98/2000/XP/7.
[Windows 98SE Gold]
[Windows 98SE KeX]
[Windows 2000 SP4]
[Windows XP SP3]
As for Windows 7 SP2 ESU i maintain my [personal list of trusted’n’latest software]
. Coz Seven is my daily driver system. So Windws 7 list will be constantly updated!
Don’t forget about my [dedicated WINDOWS 98/2000/XP/7 support page]
For example pretend that we would like to move all files from SD-card of the camera, which were created in last 5 days to local hard drive or ssd. We should point out original location, then destination, affected files and commmand parameters. It would be something like this:
Robocopy I:\DCIM\100OLYMP C:\Users\User\Desktop\FRESH\ *.JPG *.ORF *.MOV *.AVI /E /MOV /MAXAGE:5 /E – copy sub-folders, including empty ones /MOV – move files instead of copying /MAXAGE:5 – exclude files, which are aged more than 5 days
[Nik Collection]
is a great graphical effects plugin pack to work with your favorite raster editor [mine is [Affinity Photo]
in case you are interested]. Everything is fine, except annoying update popup, which is opening right after every plugin initialization. Such stuff completely breaks workflow if you don’t want to update for some reason. And there is no way to turn it off from GUI using normal methods.
However, you can shut update checks off from configuration file, which is located here:
UPDATED ON: 2023-02-12 ► Added info on 2.93.15 LTS & 3.0 Final Make sure to check [newer post]
regarding refreshed information about modern Blender and Windows 7 compatibility
As we all know that last official Blender build to support Windows 7 is 2.92. Next version requires Python 3.9.x, which is not an option for Windows 7. However, there is a possibility to run new 2.93 version via [DLL HACK]
, which could be applied even to the newest 2.
UPDATED ON: 2026-02-28 This is the final update, so from now on you are keeping track of new versions by yourself! There is nothing to update, almost nobody don’t give a sh#t about mighty Seven anymore. But nevertheless, i am still running it as my daily driver. What a psycho!

DON'T EVEN THINK THAT WINDOWS 7 IS DEAD!
Official extended support for Windows 7 operating system [ended on January 14, 2020]
. Home users can’t extend support for the operating system while business and enterprise customers may extend support by up to three years [till January 14, 2023]
, to be precise. This is done by joining the ESU program which is available per machine [business] or per user [enterprise].
Here is a short breakdown of the most frequently used commands, which could be launched from the START menu. [WIN] + R ► START ► RUN ► …. CONTROL PANEL control panel LAN CONNECTIONS ncpa.cpl REMOTE DESKTOP mstsc SYSTEM SERVICES services.msc USER CONTROL PANEL control userpasswords2 MICROSOFT CONFIG TOOL msconfig DIRECTX DIAGNOSTICS TOOL dxdiag SYSTEM INFORMATION msinfo32 REGISTRY EDITOR regedit TASK SCHEDULER taskschd.msc GROUP POLICY EDITOR gpedit.msc
Note: Don’t worry, your eye sight is ok. I’m just testing CRT-emulation mode via CSS-magic. To remove FX click on any other page.
Back in Pentium 66Mhz days I was a follower of minimal design and always turned off all fancy graphical beauties, for the sake of performance of course. However, today we are not limited to 8Megs of RAM anymore. Therefore, I have decided to transform my Windows 7 installation into Windows Vista.
Software is not perfect. Windows, Linux or any other OS. It doesn’t really matter. In this quick note, I will talk about Windows operating system.
For basic deleting of stucked files big chance that you are already using utility like Unlocker or smth. However, some time ago Unlocker was caught in spreading malware, so no trust to this application anymore. As for me, I prefer [Lock Hunter]
instead.
And what about frozen processes?
Even mighty Windows 7 comes with preinstalled junk. Yeah, you can’t go wrong with Microsoft.
In this posting I’ll point you out some bloated stuff, that don’t need regular home user on normal basis.
All of these should be removed to save your disk space and improve system performance.
Of course you run into situations when you would like to copy “non-standard” files to your Android smartphone and dumb MTP protocol showed up window like this one:
And this torture repeated after every new file type copied. Such imbecility can be removed by following command in admin console:
regsvr32 /u wpdshext.dll That’s all, limitation is gone.
Another hint, which potentially can help to overcome weird design of MTP protocol.
