Microsoft PC Manager [Public Beta]

Everyone knows that computers get bogged down over time. During its long use, they gradually slow down due to intense workload requirements, constant back-and-forth data transfers, and general hardware degradation. Many third-party computer optimizers grew popular because of it.

Some, like CCleaner, have even gone over to the dark side, and anti-virus programs now detect the program as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). See here. Avast, the company that owns CCleaner, is accused of selling sensitive data of millions of Dutch users for several years.

Microsoft has finally had enough of all those programs that claim to clean your computer, but sometimes unintentionally create havoc on your system.

Microsoft PC Manager is a free program and is designed to help users keep their computer working optimally. With it, they get access to various system tools for disk management, virus detection, and many other useful functions. What makes it interesting is that it leverages the tools already built into Windows and consolidates them into a unified and easy-to-understand utility.

You probably already know some of them, like its disk cleanup feature for freeing up storage space. Another is a system-wide scanner that looks for anomalies that affect performance, such as viruses or corrupted files. One feature that will be new is the memory booster option. It basically determines which programs can be closed to free up more memory so you can allocate RAM elsewhere, such as when you're gaming.

At the moment Microsoft PC Manager is in Open Beta, which means there are can still be extra options added and some problems to be resolved before full release.

The latest release of 'Microsoft PC Manager' is version 3.8.4.0 [04 December 2023].
