Winhanced’s new UI is now available to download for Patreon members!
🕑 Added 2025-05-09 14:07:26 +0000 UTCSo here is where things are at. This version of Winhanced includes:
- the new “living glass” UI
- full support for ANY device: this means handhelds, living room setup, laptops and desktops as well! 🤞
- full controller, keyboard/mouse, and touch screen navigation (yes including the long awaited analog stick)
- Winhanced Onboarding experience (for now only includes library setup)
- Access to both installed and owned games for our 3 main supported libraries, with the ability to install games
- the ability to add any game executable to an “Other” library
- in app settings menu (right now this only includes settings for library management)
- game launching splash screen
- app launching splash screen with more insight into what is going on
What this release does not include:
- Any and all things relating to our overlay or Windows OS management
- controller remapping
- TDP/ frame limiting management
- Task switching
- universal pause and better sleep/wake
These features will be slowly added back to this version over time, for now I wanted to focus on getting the universal library and UI right.
So when and how can you access this?
As much as I want to just release this to the world, we have learned a lot in the last few months when it comes to testing and build rollouts.
So firstly I will be releasing the test build specifically to Patreon subscribers and Discord supporter plus members first.
This is 1, a much smaller pool of people to test with, and 2 it brings a bit more value to the folks who have chosen to support us out of the kindness of their hearts.
After 2-3 weeks of testing with that group of people we will release to the broader public.
I think this will also be the roll out plan for updates to the new version of Winhanced moving forward as well.
It’s been a hectic month building this version out by myself, and there will be bugs, but at this point it’s stable enough to test with a broader user group, and I could really use the testers with different devices to really fine tune it before more broadly releasing.

Hmm, that is interesting. If you are a paying Patreon supporter it should give you access to the supporter updates and the supporter chat channels. For early access perk Link is housed in supporter updates channel specifically

new to Winhanced and the Patreon. Where do we find the download link for Patreon subscribers? I don't have access to the Discord supporter channel
