What changed

Install and updates

  • NyxBoost now installs with NyxBoost-Setup.exe: its own window over the night sky, a few seconds, no administrator rights. Uninstall it in Installed apps; an update from the app installs with one click and restarts NyxBoost.
  • Versions up to 0.28.8 never saw updates (they took themselves for version 1.0.0). Fixed — but on those versions download 0.28.9 once by hand from nyxboost.com; after that updates arrive as they should.

Tour and account

  • A feature tour: 18 stops on what matters most and what is unique — the system score, profiles, before → after, the cart, undo, cleanup, startup, uninstalling without traces, game mode and the FPS lab, hidden miners, the network check, the AI advisor, Ctrl+K.
  • The account is the card at the bottom left: sign-in, Premium and this PC in one panel. Buying, keys, invites, PCs and deleting the account are in your profile on nyxboost.com.

Now or into the cart

  • Every setting: "Apply now" or into the cart to apply several at once; the cart is always in the title bar. A setting turned on outside NyxBoost can be returned to Windows' default, with undo.
  • Cleanup works like the settings: every item can be cleaned now or put into the cart and applied together with the other changes.
  • "Install and track": run a setup through NyxBoost and it remembers everything the program added, so it can later remove it without a trace.

Full uninstall and disk

  • Full uninstall: the eraser icon on every program removes it with all its traces — folders, registry, services, tasks, file types, context menu entries, firewall rules and PATH entries. A restore point on a tick, files go to the Windows Recycle Bin.
  • Disk analysis: click a file type to see only those files, largest first; select all or just some and send them to the Windows Recycle Bin.

Tray and performance

  • "Now" or "into the cart" on every feature. "Apply all" reviews, runs and shows the result right in the cart panel, with no extra windows.

New look and details

  • A new look: section icons, buttons, tabs, tags and cursors in dark lit glass, and a new optimisation gauge on the home page. An “i” next to tricky settings explains them in plain words.
  • Keys now start with NB-; old SB- and NX- keys work as before. The introduction is livelier and shorter, the inbox is compact, and an error report closed with X no longer comes back.

How it works

The cart: one button for several changesIllustration
  1. Step 1Review

    What changes, what cannot be undone, what needs administrator rights; a restore point on a tick.

  2. Step 2Run

    Settings, cleanup, startup, services and uninstalls run one after another, each verified.

  3. Step 3Result

    Freed space and the count of changes; anything that failed can go back into the cart.

Every function has "now" or "into the cart". "Apply all" goes through three steps right in the cart panel, without extra windows.
Installing NyxBoostIllustration
  1. Step 1Download

    One file from nyxboost.com, about 50 MB, SHA-256 on the install page.

  2. Step 2Install

    A few seconds into your programs folder; a desktop shortcut if you want one.

  3. Step 3Update

    New versions arrive in the app and install with one click; NyxBoost restarts by itself.

NyxBoost-Setup.exe installs for your account, so Windows asks for no administrator rights; the app updates itself with one click from then on.
