How Many Days Should a Program Remain Unused Before We Recommend Removing it?
Your computer is checked for programs that have not been used for a long time. These are then displayed with
the recommendation that they are removed so that they do not slow down your computer unnecessarily.
Based on your user behavior, you specify here after how many days a program that has not been used is
considered to be potentially unnecessary and displayed with the recommendation that it is removed.
Changing a Profile
You can change the settings for your profile later at any time, by going to PC performance in the Dashboard
category of the Start Center and clicking the gear wheel button (located just next to the Show details
button).
Alternatively, you can click on the Change profile button at the top left of the Increase performance -
details window.
Note that you cannot confirm your profile until you have entered all the necessary information.
7.3. Fixing Problems
In this chapter, you will find out how to use the Fix problems – Details feature to fix problems that affect the
health of your system and why it is important to do so.
To find out whether there are problems affecting your system's health, go to the Start Center in the
Dashboard category and look at the PC health status field.
For example, checks are made to see if key settings have been set correctly in Windows, if there is enough
free memory on your system drive, if important security programs are installed and if there are any new
Windows updates. If you have hidden some problems, these do not impact the status any more. Open the
details window by clicking on Fix Now.
Overview
The details window lists the problems found. When you select a problem from the list, the detail panel gives
you a short description of the problem and a suggestion for a solution.
Fixing Problems
For each problem, you can decide whether you want to solve it straightaway or hide it. The easiest way is to
fix problems by clicking on the link for the suggested solution.
Hiding Problems
If you don't want to fix a problem immediately, click Hide problem. Now you can select whether you want to
hide it permanently or only for 30 days.
