The utility quickly finds and efficiently removes temporary web browser data, unused or old files and other “garbage” clogging the system. SeaCleaner not only optimizes Windows, but also increases free place on the disk, thereby speeding up the PC's operation and response to commands. The user can selectively send files for scanning and destruction, configure cleaning of the cache, recycle bin, buffer, cookies, temporary files, histories and recent commands. The ability to remove “meaningless” material and objects with incorrect extensions without affecting important information has been implemented. It has a clear Russian-language interface and free distribution.

Qualitative useful application optimizes and cleans the system, improving its performance, defragments disks, cleans the registry, deletes and hides files, and also manages startup. Important advantages are the ability to search for errors in the registry and effectively eliminate them, removing irrelevant material without threat important information, uninstalling software on your computer, clearing cookies and history in browsers, blocking malicious utilities, setting up the autorun menu and managing running processes. In addition, Glari fixes broken links, encrypts data, checks folders and shortcuts, and also has settings for the context menu.

A powerful product designed to eliminate system freezes and crashes, effectively optimize the registry, clean your computer of junk, and manage startup. According to the developers, with the help of their program, PC operation will be accelerated by up to 70%, and Windows loading and performance will improve significantly. Using the scheduler functions, you can run optimization on a schedule, specifying the frequency and selecting the necessary items, and using the options for detecting and correcting errors, you can eliminate the problems found. Accelerator tools will help you deal with traces of temporary files, broken shortcuts, browsing history, old keys and other elements that slow down the system.

The program improves PC responsiveness by clearing the machine of useless registry entries and system areas, as well as fixing different types errors. The “Cleaner” comprehensively improves computer performance, cleans up the “tails” behind the browser, deletes short-term cache data, duplicate objects and unnecessary registry keys. Karambis Cleaner includes tools for permanent cleaning of files and folders, as well as a startup manager. It is worth noting that the trial version only involves scanning the system, while other features are available when purchasing a license.

The product consists of a number of specialized utilities, functionality which are aimed at optimizing, increasing performance and significantly improving the performance of Windows. The optimizer performs useful and important actions for the system, namely: optimizing and defragmenting disks, cleaning temporary files and the system registry, increasing the productivity of the operating system, correcting errors, protecting against spyware, managing startup lists, clearing the history of viewed files and the web browser. After installation and the first launch, a backup copy will be automatically created, to which you can return at any time.

The application is specially designed for high-quality cleaning of the system registry while providing the user with information about identified problems. The software is also capable of removing damaged, incorrect, unused or outdated files, increasing disk space, creating a copy of the registry, and sorting analyzed errors into “safe” and “suspicious”. Important files will not be deleted without the user's prior approval, and all deleted information can be easily found in the REG file.

Performs the functions of cleaning the registry, backing up performed actions and searching for duplicate, irrelevant or outdated files. EasyCleaner easily analyzes the system, identifies inaccuracies and errors, frees up space in the device memory, puts things in order in folders and optimizes. The utility has a graphical option for determining free space and a startup editor. The developers claim a guarantee of key preservation and system protection, effective “stripping” of obsolete material and noticeably improved machine operation. There is a “quick clean” option, setting up scanning of only selected zones and providing a graphical report upon completion of the scan.

The utility diagnoses the working system and provides advice for optimizing it. Vice Care can easily handle cleaning the registry, deleting cache from the browser, clearing junk, defragmenting disks and protecting confidential data. The program analyzes the system and provides recommendations for resolving the issue of improving PC performance. The functionality also includes creating backup copies, generating passwords, checking software for updates, and clearing unused material. Note that in free version there is no possibility to create a backup copy.

This software checks programs, streamlines PC performance, and optimizes OS performance. TuneUp improves performance, restores accidentally deleted files, removes accumulated irrelevant material, and defragments HDD and fixes broken registry keys. After launching the utility, the optimizer will automatically begin analysis and display areas that require correction. Among the shortcomings, we can note the English-language menu and the 15-day trial period.

An excellent assistant for gamers, which allows you to unload the RAM, close unused programs and optimize resources for a comfortable gaming experience. Helps improve the operation of the OS so that the game runs without freezes, glitches, and in a smooth mode. In addition, Riser Game Booster creates screenshots and captures video of the game using “hot keys”. The user can select resource settings and save all settings for later use. Since the software closes all slow-down applications, unsaved or unclosed material may be lost.

Useful software removes uninstallable and unnecessary software, finds and cleans traces of applications, creates backup copies, and also allows an experienced user to intervene in the work process and control it. It is possible to simultaneously remove several items installed from the Windows Store and display the rating of applications based on the number of uninstallations after installation by other users. An easy search will help you quickly find the material you need by name.

Anyone who has thought about why their computer starts to slow down while working knows what optimization is and how it happens. Manual setting OS that leads to lightest load processes and the release of resources, a very labor-intensive procedure. In addition, it is always possible to miss something or configure it incorrectly. This is why optimization programs exist.

Why do we need Windows optimization programs?

Optimization programs perform a whole bunch of tasks, since improving system performance is a whole set of actions consisting of a voluminous list. The main areas of application operation can be divided into categories:

• disk cleanup and Windows registry from garbage and minor errors;
• defragmentation of hard disk partitions;
• search and update drivers;
• optimization of system settings, parameters, services and startup;
• restriction of internal Windows programs: collectors of information for analysis, Windows Store and others;
• other optimizing settings.

All of the above can be done manually and spend a couple of hours on it. Or you can trust the software and complete all the optimization processes in a few minutes, with almost no mouse or keyboard clicks. We can say that optimization programs are needed to improve performance operating system, as well as facilitating user maintenance of the PC.

The author often uses optimization programs, but still does not trust them one hundred percent. The fact is that some utilities may miss important points in optimization. For example, there is no application that is focused on disabling services; all programs clean this segment superficially, without much analysis. There are also problems with some internal restrictions for applications. Therefore, advice from the author: trust, but check and do not be lazy to take part in the optimization personally.

The best programs to optimize your computer on Windows 10

With optimization like in boxing - I bet on the wrong boxer and went down the drain. At the same time, it doesn’t matter how young and strong he is, skills and experience mostly decide. In the software market, everything is similar: you can only trust proven luminaries. Otherwise, you may not only not optimize anything, but even get a virus or miner program.

CCleaner

CCleaner is one of best programs-optimizers, the main focus of which is cleaning the disk and registry from garbage. Also added to the program functionality user-friendly interface For driving installed programs, a separate item for setting up Windows startup and several other features.

The CCleaner program is aimed at cleaning the disk and registry from garbage

Program features:

• removing all traces of user activity on the computer;

• search for duplicate files;
• erasing information on the disk.

Pros of the program:

• demon paid version The program differs from the paid one only in the possibility of technical support;
• small size and high productivity;
• very easy to understand interface;
• application speed;
• the ability to analyze the disk for occupied space.

Disadvantages of the program:

• no significant ones were found.

Advantages:

An excellent disk cleanup utility. With its help it is very convenient to clean the system registry and remove from the computer unnecessary programs. If you want to edit the startup list, then CCleaner does an excellent job with this task. It’s convenient that programs in startup can be “turned on” and “turned off” - that is, you can temporarily exclude one or another application from startup, and then, if necessary, turn it on again. I like that when automatically cleaning the system of unnecessary data, the types of this data can be customized (for example, with using CCleaner you can delete not only all temporary system files, but also cookies in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera). By the way, few people know that using a utility called CCEnhancer you can significantly expand the number of programs supported by CCleaner (up to several hundred).

Flaws:

Not noted.

Results and comments:

Very useful program, which, without a doubt, should be installed on every computer.

To be honest, I didn’t come to Glary Utilities right away - simply because I was satisfied with another program, but we won’t talk about it. However, over time, running around the city became a lot and I bought a netbook. As everyone knows, nets have all their parameters underestimated due to a weak processor and not the most powerful memory. That’s why the old program itself sometimes simply couldn’t cope and suspended the net. But the Glary Utilities program was just right for my netbook. It does not hang up the computer, and in addition it is capable of solving almost all problems associated with software. This means optimizing the operating system, monitoring the laptop battery, cleaning the registry, which, by the way, I try to do every 2 weeks, and I highly recommend it to you. The program also performs very high-quality defragmentation of computer disks, unlike the Windows one! But in my opinion, the most convenient thing in this program is the One Click Solvation module - that is, solving all problems with one click. It’s convenient for me personally because I just press a button and go do other things while the Glary Utilities program itself heals the computer. Agree that it is convenient. There are still a bunch of different interesting possibilities that I did not describe, perhaps due to laziness. not because there are just a lot of them But if you install this program on your computer, you will see everything for yourself!

ADVANTAGES:

Many useful features, does not hang up the computer, cleans efficiently

Choosing an optimization program is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Most applications specialize in a narrow area of ​​application, so it is better to use them comprehensively across several programs at the same time.

Today on the Internet you can find dozens of programs whose authors promise that your computer will almost “take off” after using them. In most cases, it will work the same, it’s good if you are not rewarded with a dozen advertising modules (which are embedded in the browser without your knowledge).

However, many utilities will honestly clean your disk of debris and perform disk defragmentation. And it is quite possible that if you have not performed these operations for a long time, your PC will work a little faster than before.

However, there are utilities that can actually speed up your computer somewhat by setting optimal settings Windows, configuring the PC properly for a particular application. I have tried some of the programs. I want to tell you about them. The programs were divided into three corresponding groups.

Speeding up your computer for games

By the way, before recommending utilities to improve performance in games, I would like to make a small remark. First, you need to update the drivers for your video card. Second, configure them accordingly. This will make the effect many times greater!

Game Buster

In my humble opinion, this utility is one of the best of its kind! The authors got excited about one click in the description of the program (by the time you install and register, it will take 2-3 minutes and a dozen clicks) - but it works really quickly.

Possibilities:

1. Brings Windows OS settings (the utility supports versions XP, Vista, 7, 8) to optimal for running most games. Thanks to this, they begin to work somewhat faster than before.
2. Defragments folders with installed games. On the one hand, this is a useless option for this program (after all, Windows even has built-in defragmentation tools), but honestly, how many of us defragment regularly? And the utility will not forget, if, of course, you install it...
3. Diagnoses the system for various vulnerabilities and non-optimal parameters. Enough necessary thing, you can learn a lot of interesting things about your system...
4. Game Buster allows you to save videos and screenshots. Convenient, of course, but it’s better to use the Fraps program for these purposes (it has its own super fast codec).

Conclusion: Game Buster is a necessary thing and if the speed of your games leaves much to be desired, definitely try it! In any case, I personally would start optimizing the PC with it!

Game Gain

Shareware program for the task hidden settings operating system. To do this, this utility needs to know a few things about your PC:

• its processor (for example, I have AMD in the screenshot);
• Windows OS (In the example above, version 8, but keep in mind that the utility also supports others).

If the program has correctly identified your OS and processor, then press just one button - “Optimize”. In half a minute, the result is ready!

Conclusions: after running the utility, it cannot be said that the computer began to work much faster, but in combination with other utilities it gives results. It would be wrong not to mention it in this article. By the way, this utility has a paid version, which has a super Fast mode (we could not test it).

Game Accelerator

Game Accelerator is a pretty good program for accelerating games. However, in my opinion it has not been updated for a long time. For a more stable and smooth process, the program optimizes the Windows OS and hardware. The utility does not require specific knowledge from the user, etc. - just run it, save the settings and minimize it to tray.

Advantages and features:

• Several operating modes: hyper-acceleration, cooling, setting up the game in the background;
• defragmentation of hard drives;
• "fine" tuning of DirectX;
• optimization of resolution and frame rate in the game;
• laptop energy saving mode.

Conclusion: the program has not been updated for a relatively long time, but at one time, around 10 years ago, it helped make your home PC faster. In its use it is very similar to the previous utility. By the way, it is recommended to use it in combination with other optimization utilities and Windows cleaning from junk files.

Game Fire

"Fire game" translated into great and mighty.

Actually very, very interesting program, which will help make your computer faster. Includes options that are simply not available in other analogues (by the way, there are two versions of the utility: paid and free)!

Advantages:

• switching your PC to turbo mode for games in one click (super!);
• optimizing Windows and its settings for optimal performance;
• defragmentation of game folders for faster access to files;
• automatic prioritization of applications for optimal game performance, etc.

Conclusion: in general, an excellent “combine” for those who like to play. I definitely recommend testing and familiarizing yourself with it. I really liked the utility!

Programs for cleaning your hard drive from junk

I think it’s no secret that over time, big number temporary files (they are also called “junk”). The fact is that when the operating system (and various applications) operate, they create files that they need at a certain point in time, then they delete them, but not always. Time is running- and there are no such people deleted files becomes more and more, the system begins to “slow down”, trying to rake through a bunch of unnecessary information.

Therefore, sometimes the system needs to be cleaned of such files. This will not only save space on your hard drive, but also speed up your computer, sometimes significantly!

And so, let's look at the top three (in my subjective opinion)...

Glary Utilities

This is simply a super-combine for cleaning and optimizing your computer! Glary Utilities allows you not only to clear your disk of temporary files, but also to clean and optimize the system registry, optimize memory, make backup copy data, clear website browsing history, defragment HDD, get system information, etc.

What’s most pleasing: the program is free, frequently updated, contains everything you need, plus it’s in Russian.

Conclusion: an excellent complex; if you regularly use it together with some utility for speeding up games (from the first point), you can achieve very good results.

Wise Disk Cleaner

This program, in my opinion, is one of the fastest cleaning programs. hard drive from various and unnecessary files: cache, browsing history, temporary files, etc. Moreover, it does nothing without your knowledge - first the process of scanning the system occurs, then you are informed by deleting what, how much space you can get, and then the unnecessary is removed from the hard drive. Very comfortably!

Advantages:

• free + with Russian language support;
• there is nothing superfluous, laconic design;
• fast and meticulous work (after this it is unlikely that another utility will be able to find anything on the HDD that can be deleted);
• Supports all versions of Windows: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1.

CCleaner

Probably one of the most popular PC cleaning utilities, not only in Russia, but also abroad. The main advantage of the program is its compactness and high degree of Windows cleaning. Its functionality is not as rich as Glary Utilites, but in terms of removing “garbage” it can easily compete with it (and perhaps even win).

Main advantages:

• free with Russian language support;
• fast work speed;
• support for popular Windows versions(XP, 7,8) 32 and 64 bit systems.

I think even these three utilities will be more than enough for most. By choosing any of them and regularly optimizing, you can significantly increase the speed of your PC.

Windows optimization and settings

In this subsection I would like to include programs that work in combination: i.e. check the system for optimal parameters (if they are not specified, set them), configure applications correctly, set the necessary priorities for various services, etc. In general, programs that will perform the entire complex of optimization and settings of the OS for more productive work.

By the way, out of all the variety of such programs, I liked only two. But they do improve PC performance, sometimes significantly!

Advanced SystemCare 7

What is immediately captivating about this program is its focus on the user, i.e. you don’t have to deal with lengthy settings, read a mountain of instructions, etc. Installed, launched, clicked analyze, then agreed with the changes that the program proposed to make - and voila, the garbage is removed, with registry errors corrected, etc. it becomes an order of magnitude faster!
