How I Use a Free Windows App to Boost My PC's Performance
1 min read
Summary
Microsoft’s PC Manager is a free app for Windows 10 and 11 that consolidates the operating system’s built-in features for disk cleaning, managing start-up apps and malware protection into one easy-to-use app that helps to improve a system’s performance.
The app also features a desktop toolbar offering quick access to a one-click performance boost, real-time system memory and data usage, and shortcuts to commonly used apps.
Users can download the app from the Microsoft store, launch it from the Start Menu and click on the app’s Boost button to clear temporary files and free up system memory.
For automatic optimisation, the app allows users to enable Smart Boost, and the System Protection section provides quick access to Windows Security’s Virus & threat protection tool.
Additionally, the Toolbox features commonly used Windows tools and shortcuts and offers easy access to browsers and windows updates.
The app is Microsoft’s alternative to the many third-party cleaning apps that often cause more problems than they solve.
