Keeping your PC running at peak performance just got easier. Microsoft has introduced PC Manager, a free tool designed to optimize and refresh Windows 10 and 11 systems—without relying on third-party software like CCleaner.

Why It Matters

Over time, computers accumulate clutter—temporary files, background processes, and startup programs that slow down performance. Until now, Microsoft provided security solutions like Windows Defender but lacked an official PC optimization tool. With PC Manager, users can now clean up their systems efficiently using an integrated Microsoft solution.

How It Works

PC Manager simplifies system maintenance with key features:

PC Boost: Identifies and closes unnecessary background processes, clears temporary files, and optimizes RAM usage.

Smart Boost: Handles large temporary files (1GB+), freeing up disk space and improving responsiveness.

Startup Manager: Controls which applications launch at startup, reducing boot time.

Health Check: Scans for unnecessary files and processes, providing recommendations to enhance system performance.

Availability

PC Manager is available for free download on Windows 10 and 11 via the Microsoft Store. For users looking to streamline their PC performance without relying on external tools, this official Microsoft solution offers a convenient and effective alternative.
