Today there are dozens, if not hundreds, of programs whose developers promise an unprecedented speed for your computer and quick cleaning of garbage. In a good half of cases, your PC will work the same way as before using such software. And you are lucky if after applying the next program to clean and optimize your computer, Windows will even start up.
Most often, utilities of such a plan from dubious developers reward the platform with a whole bunch of advertising modules and plugins that are embedded in your browser and change the start page with the default search. In general, the picture is not the most encouraging, but in fact, not everything is so bad.
Among other things, a bunch of useless and even harmful utilities, one can find quite worthy programs for cleaning and optimizing your computer that will really help your PC, saving it from garbage and thereby speeding up work. It remains only to determine the list of these, which, in fact, will help our article.
So, we present to your attention the best programs for optimizing a computer on the Windows platform, which have distinguished themselves by their quality component, efficient work and earned a lot of positive feedback from users. All the software described below can be downloaded on the official resources of the developers, so there should be no problems with the search.
"Computer Accelerator"
One of the best programs for optimizing a computer on Windows 7, 8, and 10 versions is a utility with a very trivial name - “Computer Accelerator”. In comparison with other analogs, software after testing and all necessary procedures demonstrates a real increase in PC performance.
After starting, the utility takes control of system processes in the task manager and disables or reduces the priorities of a number of applications. The latter include the ubiquitous Microsoft telemetry, which collects your data with ambiguous wording (to improve the platform), Supertech subtasks (data caching), “spare” host processes and much more, without which Windows will noticeably transform in terms of speed .
The computer optimization program is constantly being improved along with the current platform updates. Developers do not forget about their brainchild, improving usability, and carefully study user reviews about a particular tool.
Distinctive features of the utility
Software can be safely called a complex for cleaning and optimizing your computer. It has more than enough functionality and tools to fulfill its tasks, and very efficiently. Naturally, such complex and advanced solutions simply cannot be free: a lot of money will have to be paid for the license. Before buying, you can familiarize yourself in the trial version with all the available functionality, albeit with some limitations.
Key features of the computer optimization program:
- better performance compared to other competitors;
- intuitive and not at all confusing interface;
- full control over startup;
- competent distribution of priorities in the task manager;
- a huge set of tools to solve problems with system crashes and freezes;
- There is an intelligent planner for the months ahead;
- excellent selection of junk and broken applications in the registry;
- the presence of a trial version without critical restrictions.
Advanced SystemCare Free
Another fairly powerful complex for cleaning and optimizing a computer for the Windows platform. One of the most pleasant features of the software is a free distribution license. Of course, the developer has a more advanced Pro version, but the average user is quite enough for the average user.
The program is focused only on optimizing the computer for Windows 7, 8 and 10. Of course, you can find amateur modifications of the utility for Linux and Mac, but the adaptation turned out to be mediocre, so you can’t recommend it for other operating systems.
The developer in his prospectuses claims to increase productivity by optimizing the computer as much as 400%. The figure, of course, for the most part was taken from the sidelines of marketers, and nevertheless, after all the necessary procedures, the PC comes to life and starts to work much faster.
It should also be noted that on the wayward Windows 10 the program for optimizing the computer will not produce the result that will be on versions 7 or 8. The new OS prohibits third-party applications from literally anything and everything, and the software simply cannot properly integrate into the task manager, as well as and dominate it, removing the ubiquitous telemetry and dual host processes that always load the chipset. The problem is partly solved by manually distributing the appropriate permissions, but after a reboot everything will again fall into place.
Software Features
As for computer optimization for Windows of the past, but versions that have not lost their relevance, here everything is noticeably simpler. Install, run and enjoy the significantly increased PC speed. It is also worth noting that the program has tools for specific computer optimization for gamers, where almost all auxiliary processes in the task manager are disabled and exceptional priorities are set for gaming applications.
Key features of the utility:
- sensible optimization of all processes in the task manager;
- competent Russian-language localization;
- effective work with the registry and its cleaning;
- there are media defragmentation tools;
- the ability to optimize in the background;
- work with popular observers ("Chrome", "Mozilla", "Opera");
- the availability of tools for optimizing mobile gadgets through a USB interface;
- full startup control on Windows 7 and 8;
- various solutions for protection against spyware and other malicious code.
Wise care 365
The program does an excellent job of improving performance and general computer optimization on Windows 10, 7 and 8. One of the main advantages of the utility is its quick work. If other competing analogues think for a long time about the task manager and the registry, then Wise Care 365 will complete all the necessary procedures in a matter of minutes, and without loss of effectiveness.
The developer offers users two types of licenses - paid and free. The first has wide functional capabilities and is suitable for those who work around the clock with some kind of information databases or other data that needs to be recorded and erased endlessly.
An extended modification of the program to optimize the computer will also not be superfluous to those who have several HDD-winchesters. Intensive work, especially with this type of drive, slows down the operating system with each new byte recorded, so effective prevention will not hurt explicitly. For ordinary users, the free option is quite enough. It cannot be called very limited somehow, because all the necessary tools (albeit slightly trimmed) are present in it.
Software Features
It should also be noted that this software will not only optimize the computer, but also take care of the safety of your personal data. The program will take over the input of passwords in browsers or in some third-party clients and will store them in the specified offline location. That is, your logins and codes will not leak onto the Internet, but will only be stored locally.
Key features of the program (relevant for the free version):
- very simple and well-Russified interface;
- effective optimization of the task manager and the operating system as a whole;
- drive defragmentation;
- disk cleaning from unnecessary and “forgotten” files;
- excellent synergy with popular browsers (cleaning history, cache and other prevention);
- multilevel protection of user personal data in local repositories;
- noticeably fast work compared to competing counterparts;
- stable updates with additions and edits from product developers.
Ccleaner
Many users have the erroneous opinion that the “Cliner” is intended only to clean the registry. Yes, the developers conceived of the software specifically for the competent cleaning of the system registry and basket. But over the past few years, the program has expanded significantly and added functionality.
Now “Kliner” is positioned by developers as an effective software for acceleration and optimization of a personal computer. In addition to its usual responsibilities for maintaining the registry, the utility will clean browsers, restore order at startup and set normal priorities in the task manager.
Software Features
One of the main advantages of the program along with work efficiency is a completely free license, which is far from the last factor for the domestic consumer. Moreover, the existing functionality of the utility can not be called modest. After carrying out all the necessary procedures, the computer really comes to life and starts to work faster, getting rid of the numerous trash and incorrectly prioritized tasks in the task manager.
Key features of the program:
- deep and extremely high-quality cleaning of the registry;
- effective platform optimization through startup and task manager;
- intuitive and competently translated into Russian interface;
- seamless synergy with any version of the Windows platform;
- work with popular browsers (cleaning history, cache, downloads and other data);
- the ability to optimize in the background;
- cleaning the hard drive and other drives from the "dead" garbage;
- Free distribution license without any functional limitations.
Glary utilities
Software can also be called a whole complex aimed at optimizing and accelerating the operation of the Windows operating system. The utility showed itself excellently on all versions of the platform, and it did not have any problems even on the “top ten”. Yes, the latter, although it does in every possible way, resists programs of this kind, but the “Glery” functionality is carefully implemented both in the task manager and in startup, disabling junk that is completely unnecessary for the user.
In addition to the already familiar cleaning of the registry and distribution of competent priorities, the utility can defragment the disk and, if necessary, remove unnecessary garbage in the face of "dead" files and folders. The program proved to be excellent in working with HDD-drives, but it doesn’t want to see some SSD-models, even with specially installed drivers in the system. But this applies only to a couple of percent of the total mass of solid-state drives, so this point can hardly be called critical.
It should also be noted that the program received sensible localization, so there should not be any problems with the development of software. As in other cases, the developer offers users a free and advanced paid version of their product. The first has quite decent functionality, and its capabilities are enough for ordinary users. The Pro version received an additional set of tools, which will come in handy for those who work intensively with three or more hard drives every day.
The main features of the program:
- efficient and relatively fast platform optimization;
- work with random access memory;
- thorough and multi-level verification of hard drives;
- sensible registry cleaning;
- competent localization and intuitive interface;
- There are several tools to protect user data from unauthorized access;
- optimization of task manager and startup;
- cleaning up popular browsers from garbage;
- correct operation on all versions of the Windows platform
System mechanic
This program is good in many ways, but the only negative (critical for a good half of domestic users) is localization, or rather, the lack of it in Russian. The global Internet community speaks about software all in a positive way, so those who are not afraid of English should definitely try it.
The utility itself appeared a long time ago, long before the above counterparts. By age, it can only be compared with the Cliner, which also appeared at the dawn of the Windows platform. Therefore, for developers, the basic concepts and functionality of the product have long been identified, the applied algorithms are time-tested, and other surroundings are edited and supplemented as necessary by updates.
The toolkit is designed mainly for advanced users and professionals. It doesn’t smell intuitive, but you don’t have to wander for a long time, because almost all the functionality can be controlled using the main panel or the assistant wizard. Judging by the reviews, newcomers have great difficulty mastering software and ultimately either fall for it forever or completely refuse in favor of competing programs that are more understandable in terms of usability.
Another notable feature of the utility is its multi-level protection against the "fool". Erase excess files or overdo it with the task manager and startup will not work here. A meticulous and thoughtful algorithm will neatly “push” the user away if he decides to damage or critically modify the files of the operating system.
The utility comes with both a free license and in the Pro version. The first is more suitable for domestic and sole needs, and the second is sharpened for large volumes for, for example, system administrators.
Key software features:
- extremely effective optimization and cleaning of the platform of any garbage;
- proven over the years algorithms and techniques for fixing operating system errors;
- fine and deep tuning of platform parameters;
- sensible, and most importantly, not at all "not gluttonous" task scheduler for tray;
- monitoring of the main elements of a PC;
- stable operation on any version of Windows.
