This is where Ashampoo WinOptimizer really shines. Rather than just presenting you with an impenetrable list of file names, it walks you through each issue individually, offering a brief description, an explanation of how it might be affecting your PC's performance, and a recommended course of action.
It's refreshing to see an interface that's been so carefully designed with accessibility in mind. There's also the usual bundle of defragging, uninstalling and startup management tools grouped under the 'Modules' tab , but the main scanner is where this software really shines. This includes an additional game booster, faster scans, Windows 10 privacy controls, and a wizard for tuning SSDs.
Whether you opt for the free or premium edition, Iolo System Mechanic is one of the best tools around for speeding up your PC and clearing up unwanted files. System Mechanic offers two types of scan: Quick and Deep. The first option identifies the most common issues including temporary files, browser history and registry entries.
The Deep scan delves further and has the potential to turn up more results, but takes several minutes. Your results may differ, but in our experience both turned up a similar number of issues. Clicking the 'Details' link provides plenty of information about the identified problems and why you might want to remove them, though it's not quite as straightforward as Ashampoo Winoptimizer.
It's also much more than just a system optimizer; it includes dual-engine malware protection, data recovery, secure file deletion and many more extras. If you're considering buying an anti-malware tool to supplement your antivirus , it's well worth adding Iolo System Mechanic to your shortlist.
Note that you'll be asked to submit an email address during registration, but Iolo doesn't share it with third parties. Piriform CCleaner is incredibly thorough, scanning every scrap of your hard drive or SSD for unnecessary files that could be slowing it down. However, unlike some system speed-up tools, it's never overwhelming. Search results are organized into sensible categories such as temporary files attached to web browsers, and ones related to Windows , and any files that you might want to keep are unchecked by default.
CCleaner doesn't offer a description of all file types before offering to purge them, but if you select any of the files under the 'Advanced' heading it'll tell you why you should think twice before removing them.
It would be nice if all the annotations were in such plain English, but we appreciate the effort. CCleaner's registry scanner is superb; most system speed-up tools just give you a one-click option, but CCleaner lets you pick which types of entry to search for. This is ideal if you're having trouble with something specific if you're unable to re-install a program because of an entry left over after you uninstalled it, for example. You also get the usual defrag, drive wipe and system restore tools, though these are all easily accessible through Windows 10's Control Panel.
It's one of the best free antivirus apps around and well worth a look if you're in the market for a new security suite, but otherwise make sure you uncheck the box before proceeding. The free cleaner is excellent, but the Pro version will save time and hassle in the long run. Both the free and premium versions of Glary Utilities promise to make your PC up to eight times faster.

Benchmarking your SSD or hard drive can let you know if it is performing per specifications. Compare the numbers you get in CrystalDiskMark to what the manufacturer claims the speed should be. Pro tip: If you have an SSD or NVMe drive, keep in mind that it may not maintain peak speeds during very large file transfers due to the high-speed cache being maxed-out. It cycles through various tests similar to real world scenarios, benchmarking drive speeds, work-related tasks, video editing, video-conferencing.
That makes PCMark a gread benchmark to see how your system is likely to do in real life, not just on the test bench. Running those scenes will provide a benchmark score for your total system, and individual items like GPU and CPU performance. Plus, UL also maintains an online hall of fame scoreboard to see where you land with your PC setup.
Both UL benchmarks cost money for the full package, but PCMark and 3DMark each also offers a basic edition with limited tests included for free.
