Hello,
If I say "I removed the window-related configuration" can that imply that the window of the computer application had multiple settings such as custom defined titlebar text, custom transparency, custom background color, etc..? or in this situation I should use "configurations" with the plural instead?

Hello.

Please note my corrections above.

If there's a single setting (configuration) that makes all those changes, then use the singular. If the user has to change the text, transparency, colour etc separately, use the plural.
