• Tuneup Utilities For Windows 10

You can do a lot by yourself:. Uninstall progs that you don't use. get rid of junk toolbars unless you really use one of them many times a day, they are largely crapware who's real purpose is to give you targeted advertising. 3 ways to turn off indexing: 1: Navigate to Control Panel/System and Maintenance/Indexing Options. There you can remove all locations or only those you use rarely.

2: It is also possible to disable indexing for a certain drive or enable it only for selected folders. You can do this by changing the Properties of a drive or folder (right click on drive letter in Windows Explorer).Windows Search service 3: The fasted way is to simply disable the Windows Search service.

Run Services (just type “Services” at the Start Search bar), right click on the Windows Search service and select “Properties”. Then choose “Disabled” for the start type. Afterwards, you have to stop this service by right clicking on it and selecting “Stop”. Any program that claims to improve performance does more damage than good. It's another program to slow down the computer further more. If you are after cleaning tools, CCleaner is all you need. If you are after registry cleaner, don't!

Never install any kind of registry cleaner programs at all, but do use the tool included in CCleaner to clean your registry, but even cleaning your registry does not improve performance at all, it only makes you think that your system is clean of junk when in fact it is not true. I tried a registry cleaner but it damaged some system programs beyond usage.

I was not able to use System Restore because it was damaged due to missing keys in the registry. Indexing service have not slowed my computer at all and I run a P4 computer running Vista and it's exactly the same speed as XP. What are you doing to your system that makes it slow?

Disabling services only makes thing much more worst than you might bargain. I understand and praise BlackViper but he is not Microsoft. The only best thing to keep your system at the top peak of performance is your usage behaviour and proper use of system maintenance. Help your PCs performance?

People feel the need for one of the PC performance tools after their PC slows down or starts spitting out error messages. Best is to NOT let the PC get to this stage, because these performance tools may help in some cases. Often they don’t. Sometimes they do even more damage. So, why the slowness and error messages?

That often comes from too many bloated, buggy software apps installed, uninstalled and re-installed on the PC. Install what you need on your PC, not more.

Tuneup Utilities For Windows 10

As other suggested, see what you can uninstall and/or switch off. If you want to download heaps of (free) software from the net to try out, do that with a VM or spare PC. You can consider something like the Acronis Try-Out feature that allows you to roll back and remove anything (including settings) a software may have installed. You can also take a snapshots of the PC with Acronis (or similar) and restore the system quickly and easily back to a stable stage. At work we have some PC’s that don’t get the OS reinstalled until they are replaced by faster hardware, that’s like 5 years.

But the Engineers just use their design packages and tools and don’t “play” with their computers. Why can't I find an official Microsoft download link for this? The way Paul Thurrott described it when he released the link was that it was a preview from Microsoft. Are you sure it's made by Microsoft? I guess that without having a direct link to the Microsoft site, then you can't be, however I had a good look at the program and it certainly seems to be a Microsoft program. I would also suspect that if it was not genuine, then Thurrott would not continue to link to the app. But I can understand anyone's decision to not install it on their system until Microsoft officially announce the product.

EDIT One other thing, for somebody who is a complete newbie to Windows and or Vista, the large list of tutorials built into the software is really good. It has a great set of tools. Been using it since it was released and now I'm using 2009. I personally WOULD NOT use the System Maintenance at all, whether it be this program or CCleaner. Tuneup does a thorough indepth scan, and although you can reverse the changes, you really have to go through a lot of the entries. It's really not necessary.

That being said, I use it a lot for checking startup entries, diskspace, applying themes. It's a great suite, though it does seem to attempt to do a 'bit much'. The Drive Defrag and Memory Optimizer are not really necessary, especially if use a third party dedicated defragger.

Same with the registry defragger. I wouldn't play too much with the speed optimizer either. It's very good at fixing things in windows, e.g. Faulty icons ect. But I don't use any of the performance enhancing things it provides.

More trouble than they're worth. 2008 seems a bit better than 2009.

2009's UI treats you more friendly, too friendly. When I bought my first ever PC (for want of a better word) way back then being an Apple IIC notebook that booted off and ran from a 5 ¼' floppy drive (check the museum for what they look like), I was always part of the fasta fasta cleana cleana club. We intrepid members downloaded every 'improve your speed, get better performance, clean out the Registry etc.

And as a consequence we gained incredible experience in reformatting HDD's we stuffed up, reinstalling windows, repairing registries and spending many a midnight hour peering at the BSOD happily saying '. Windows cannot find BO10DTu/Sys/02354OhHell234 file or Windows is missing a Registry File required to run the OS system.' Please contact your Administrator, Microsoft (Yeh!

Like that'll work!) Reinstall Windows or leave the bloody thing alone next time dummy! Eventually we learnt to appreciate the truism if it ain't broke then don't fix it and we leave all those garbage programs for Newbies. Nope, deep within our hard wired brain still lives the prospect of getting another.000001 nano seconds better performance in opening a file or making the PC faster! So I dun it anyways!

I came across a snappy looking program called Tuneup Utilities 2012! And you had to pay for it so it had to be good right? And you know what? The wretched thing did exactly as it promised! I love that feeling of danger and the pure adrenhalin rush you get after you have been warned three times if you want to REALLY (REALLY) want to press the OK or ENTER button to continue!! The thrill of seeing the screen snap to black, blue, reboot, quiver, shudder, display ooodles of strange message prior to (hopefully) coming back to life, is a thrill hard to comprehend by those whimps who don't live on the edge!

Like I mean, I ran every one of the 'recommended fixes' for the '516 errors that had been found on my PC' and thus making it run like it was being powered by a couple of AAA batteries! Back to the present and my using OS Windows 7. I soon found that all those pretty little MS thingos about smoothing fonts, shadowing and 'stuff' that makes Windows look pretty cool, WERE in actual fact all combining to slooooowwwwwww everything down. Like yer walking in hot glue! So, end result, that damn program (still can't believe it worked!) put everything back to what Windows 3.1 used to look like and now the machine literally flies!! Sure, it looks pretty boring and dull without all the bells and whistles but yowie, does it open 'things' real fast and anything I ask of it now is a 'Yes Sir, you bet Sir, how high shall I jump Sir' kind or response! Your are now Mine, I OWN you again you brute!

And no, I don't own the utility under discussion nor care whether you buy it or not. All I do know is that my PC has never operated faster, quicker, smarter and is like a 'new PC'.

Just like the ad says it would be! All you need is a bit of time to check out what is loading on startup and what is running in background. Ccleaner will for the former and procexp (from microsoft) will do the latter. Tuneup utilities will do nothing about bloatware because it is valid software and you may in fact want it. Ccleaner is nice for clearing out the rest of the clutter. Defrag is good now and then.

Xp users should optimize their tcp settings (tcpoptimizer) People with slow hard drives should set up a permanent contiguous swap file.
