 🔜 Fix "We can't open this 'microsoft-edge' link" due to edge removal and no default browser found. Issue #38  
-⌛ WinHance Fails to Remove OneNote on Windows 11. This is due to OneNote no longer being an appx-package (like on Windows 10) and must be uninstalled using it's uninstaller. Issue #141

+⌛ Apps to add to the external software section if possible: Classic Task Manager, NirCmd, TriggerCMD, SyncToy, Minimize to Tray, Serial Port Notifier, Sereby AIO Runtime, FlowFrames. Issue #135 (These apps are not available via winget, if they have generic direct download links that always downloads the latest available version of the app, they will be added in the future.)
 
 ### Optimize Screen
 
-#### Windows Security Settings
-⌛ Improve UAC slider to match all of the available options in Windows. User Account Control seems to be automatically set to "High" if a user has selected a value higher than that in Windows. This is due to Winhance not having all the available UAC options. Issue #166  
-
 #### Power Management
 🔜 Improve the power section to detect all power plans on the pc and add indicators next to each power plan in the dropdown menu showing what currently exists  
 🔜 Improve the power section to have toggles that toggle the powercfg commands on the currently applied power plan (currently, importing the Ultimate Performance powerplan just automatically applies all "recommended" powercfg commands but there is no control over it) This will also fix #84  
 
 #### Gaming & Performance
 🔜 Review the "Mouse" related settings and why Enhance mouse precision won't work anymore due to mouse related tweaks in the gaming section. Issue #13  
 🔜 Consider adding preset options in optimizations tab like "Minimal, recommended and extreme optimizations" (This can also be done with preset config files if developed and shared.)
