With just a few clicks, you may defragment hard disks to accelerate access to
data, and your PC in general. Individual parts of a file are ordered during
defragmentation in such a way, so that they are located next to each other on
the hard drive, and may be found by the hard disk reader in one query.
Defragment Windows registry:
Constant reading and writing processes in the registry database make the
registry files larger and larger. This function cleans up the Windows registry
(view page 40) and corrects empty sections. The Windows registry is made
smaller and information is easier to access.
Update programs:
Updated for programs, installed on the PC will be searched for. If new versions
are available, they will appear under test reports and results and updates may
be manually made.
The results in respect to program updates is not included in the general
problem report, found in other test areas.
Increase performance
Increase your PC's performance! This increases the speed of your computer
during start-up.
Configure system start
If you would like to accelerate the system start of your computer (view page
37), use this function. Here you may deactivate processes, which are loaded at
the start of the system, putting additional strain on RAM, and even blocking
other processes.
Hint: Nothing is changed in the programs which are removed from the system
start. If you start the program later, it will simply take a little longer to be ready
for use.
Configure services
Services are activated when the computer is started up and wait in the
background until they are needed. However, many are not required by the
operating system. Optimize these services (view page 31) manually or
automatically for clearly increased speed while the system starts.
