Microsoft is working on a new system
optimization program for Windows called PC Manager. This program essentially
unifies existing Windows tools into a single interface, making these tools
easier to use than ever before. This program can be used on all Windows 10 and
Windows 11 devices.
Windows users often download various
applications to clean or optimize the system. Basically, these applications
promise to speed up your computer by removing unnecessary files and modifying
registry keys. Among these applications, CCleaner is the most popular. Some
users claim that their computer speed has increased by using these programs.
However, Microsoft has never supported the use of these programs.
At first glance, Microsoft's new PC Manager
app looks a lot like any other system optimizer. Basically, it's a simple
solution to access built-in Windows tools from one place. Let's learn more
about Microsoft PC Manager.
Microsoft PC Manager
Microsoft's PC Manager is currently in beta.
Information can be viewed by entering your own web link. Once there, you'll see
a website written in Chinese, which may be because Microsoft is running a beta
test in China.
Although the website language is in Chinese,
the program interface language can be used in English. When you enter the program's
interface, you will see two sections – one is the cleaning section, which
contains various system optimization tools, while the security section contains
features such as anti-virus scanning and browser protection.
The Cleanup section provides four types of
Windows optimization tools. The tools in this section will increase speed by
finding junk files, resource-intensive processes, less-used applications, large
files and auto-start programs, and properly cleaning your computer.
The first tool, called Health Check, uses
Windows Defender to scan your device for viruses, find potential problems, and
optimize startup programs to speed up Windows startup. Interestingly, when
scanning a device with this tool, it is considered vulnerable even if Microsoft
Edge is not set as the default browser. Although none of this information is
accurate, it's just a way to promote Microsoft's Edge browser.
Use Storage Management to find junk files,
large files, etc. In addition, computer performance can be optimized by removing
temporary files and unused applications. The Process Management feature uses
the processes of resource-intensive applications and startup applications to
speed up startup times.
On the other hand, the Security section has a
feature called Windows Update that displays pending updates for Windows.
Browser Protection can be used to change the default browser and block programs
that attempt to change these permissions.
Essentially an all-in-one PC manager app, it
brings the tools already available in Windows right at your fingertips. As a
result, those who previously used third-party tools to optimize and clean their
devices no longer need to use these additional applications. However, since
Microsoft doesn't like registry cleaning, PC Manager (pcmanager.microsoft.com)
doesn't have this feature either.
There used to be registry cleaners called
RedClean and RedMaid, which were discontinued after Windows XP was released.
Then came Windows Live OneCare, which offered a similar registry cleaning
feature, but was later discontinued. The registry is virtualized with Windows
Vista, so later versions don't have much of a problem with it.

program from Microsoft? You can tell us your opinion in the comments section.
