⚠️ Do not use so-called “optimizers” like Windows XP[7][8][10] Manager, AusLogics BoostSpeed, Advanced SystemCare, AVG PC TuneUp (TuneUp Utilities) and similar tools unless you really know what you’re doing.
Even if you think you do, think twice. They won’t make your PC faster, but they can easily break program installation or normal system work.
At most, only use the specific features you fully understand. For simple junk cleanup, I recommend Win 10 Tweaker or CCleaner + CCEnhancer.
