What it changes

Gallery in navigation pane: hidden

Before anything is written, the review screen shows this setting's current value on your PC next to the new one.

Why it helps

A shorter navigation pane.

Trade-offs

None.

Evidence

Strong evidenceExpected impact:Small

Strong evidence means: documented by microsoft or consistently measurable. Expected impact is small (1 of 3): how much it can matter when this is actually the bottleneck on your PC, not a promised gain.

Is it in a pack?

No. It isn't hand-picked as recommended, so you apply it on its own, after reading the trade-offs.

How to undo

Switch the tweak off in Nexus, or open Restore Center and restore this change (or choose Undo last change). Nexus writes back the original value it recorded before applying, not a generic default, then reads it back to confirm.

Like applying it, undoing it takes full effect after you sign out and back in.

Where it applies

Windows 11 22H2 (build 22621) or later.

Anywhere else, Nexus shows it as not applicable instead of pretending it works.

Apply it safely with Nexus

Preview the exact change, apply it with its original value recorded, and undo it in one click if you change your mind.
