3. Status & Recommendations
The Status & recommendations category displays the current status for the three most important function
areas provided to you by TuneUp Utilities. In the event of warnings or recommendations, you can use the Show
details link to immediately address the problem behind the warning or view the recommendations. In the fourth
area, you can see whether the TuneUp Utilities Rescue Center protection is enabled, so that you can undo any
changes at any time.
Maintain System Area
The status in the Maintain system area shows how often your computer is maintained. This
takes into account whether Automatic Maintenance is carried out regularly with the most
important maintenance tasks or whether you have manually run 1-Click Maintenance
recently.
Under the status indicator is the Start 1-Click Maintenance button. If you click on Start 1-
Click Maintenance, 1-Click Maintenance will be carried out with the default TuneUp Util-
ities settings or the changes to the maintenance settings made by you.
When you click on the wrench icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the Start 1-Click
Maintenance button, the central configuration dialog opens, where you can specify the maintenance tasks that
should be carried out by Automatic Maintenance and 1-Click Maintenance. You can also specify when Auto-
matic Maintenance should be carried out.
Increase Performance Area
The status field in the Increase performance area shows whether TuneUp Utilities has
detected options for increasing the performance of your computer. For example, you may
receive recommendations for increasing the speed of your Internet, uninstalling programs
that haven't been used for a while or upgrading your hardware.
However, in order to get the most out of performance recommendations that are per-
sonalized to your requirements, you must first answer some questions regarding your
usage profile. Click Create profile.
