Microsoft PC Manager: Microsoft’s alternative to CCleaner

Whenever you want to use it to do demanding tasks such as doing advanced video editing or browsing the Internet at a higher speed from your PC, it is essential to have it optimized, updated and disinfected.

For this purpose, Microsoft PC Manager has been developed, a software package developed by Microsoft itself for installation on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Microsoft PC Manager is made up of various tools designed to clean the system of useless files, speed up its operation by managing unnecessary applications, protect it against the threat of viruses, among other optimizations.

How to use Microsoft PC Manager?

As soon as it is launched for the first time, its Boost function allows you to quickly optimize system RAM memory and eliminate temporary files generated by applications with a single click.

However, it is also possible to individually run the following tools that address in a more comprehensive way aspects that could affect the performance of the system:

Microsoft PC Manager Cleanup Tools

Storage management

It contains four sections with functions to free up space on the system by deleting cache files, temporary files, large files, as well as removing rarely used applications.

Process management

It allows you to terminate processes or programs that consume RAM memory, thus accelerating the operation of the system.

Startup apps

Its function is to disable applications that start with the system because they have been configured that way. With this, it is possible to make Windows boot faster.

The first option present in the Security section of Microsoft PC Manager is called Scan. It allows with a single click to analyze and eliminate threats to the system caused by problematic drivers, services running in the background, malicious browser extensions, among others.
