PC stabilization program. Program for optimizing your computer on Windows

Welcome to my blog.

Today on the Internet you can find dozens of programs whose authors promise that your computer will almost “take off” after using them. In most cases, it will work the same, it’s good if you are not rewarded with a dozen advertising modules (which are embedded in the browser without your knowledge).

However, many utilities will honestly clean your disk of debris and perform disk defragmentation. And it is quite possible that if you have not performed these operations for a long time, your PC will work a little faster than before.

However, there are utilities that can actually speed up your computer somewhat by setting the optimal Windows settings and configuring your PC properly for a particular application. I have tried some of the programs. I want to tell you about them. The programs were divided into three corresponding groups.

Speeding up your computer for games

By the way, before recommending utilities to improve performance in games, I would like to make a small remark. First, you need to update the drivers for your video card. Second, configure them accordingly. This will make the effect many times greater!

• setting up an AMD/Radeon video card: ;
• setting up NVidia video card: .

Game Buster

In my humble opinion, this utility is one of the best of its kind! The authors got excited about one click in the description of the program (by the time you install and register, it will take 2-3 minutes and a dozen clicks) - but it works really quickly.

Possibilities:

1. Brings Windows OS settings (the utility supports versions XP, Vista, 7, 8) to optimal for running most games. Thanks to this, they begin to work somewhat faster than before.
2. Defragments folders with installed games. On the one hand, this is a useless option for this program (after all, Windows even has built-in defragmentation tools), but honestly, how many of us defragment regularly? And the utility will not forget, if, of course, you install it...
3. Diagnoses the system for various vulnerabilities and non-optimal parameters. It’s quite a necessary thing; you can learn a lot of interesting things about your system...
4. Game Buster allows you to save videos and screenshots. Convenient, of course, but it’s better to use a program for these purposes (it has its own super fast codec).

Conclusion: Game Buster is a necessary thing and if the speed of your games leaves much to be desired, definitely try it! In any case, I personally would start optimizing the PC with it!

Game Accelerator

Game Accelerator is a pretty good program for accelerating games. However, in my opinion it has not been updated for a long time. For a more stable and smooth process, the program optimizes the Windows OS and hardware. The utility does not require specific knowledge from the user, etc. - just run it, save the settings and minimize it to tray.

Advantages and features:

• Several operating modes: hyper-acceleration, cooling, setting the game in the background;
• defragmentation of hard drives;
• “fine” tuning DirectX;
• optimization of resolution and frame rate in the game;
• laptop energy saving mode.

Conclusion: the program has not been updated for a relatively long time, but at one time, around 10 years ago, it helped make your home PC faster. In its use it is very similar to the previous utility. By the way, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with other utilities for optimizing and cleaning Windows from junk files.

Game Fire

“Fire game” translated into great and mighty.

In fact, it is a very, very interesting program that will help make your computer faster. Includes options that are simply not available in other analogues (by the way, there are two versions of the utility: paid and free)!

Advantages:

• switching your PC to turbo mode for games in one click (super!);
• optimizing Windows and its settings for optimal performance;
• defragmentation of game folders for faster access to files;
• automatic prioritization of applications for optimal game performance, etc.

Conclusion: in general, an excellent “combine” for those who like to play. I definitely recommend testing and familiarizing yourself with it. I really liked the utility!

Programs for cleaning your hard drive from junk

I think it’s no secret that over time a large number of temporary files accumulate on the hard drive (they are also called “junk”). The fact is that when the operating system (and various applications) operate, they create files that they need at a certain point in time, then they delete them, but not always. As time goes by, there are more and more such undeleted files, the system begins to “slow down”, trying to sort out a bunch of unnecessary information.

Therefore, sometimes the system needs to be cleaned of such files. This will not only save space on your hard drive, but also speed up your computer, sometimes significantly!

And so, let’s look at the top three (in my subjective opinion)…

Glary Utilities

This is simply a super-combine for cleaning and optimizing your computer! Glary Utilities allows you not only to clear your disk of temporary files, but also to clean and optimize the system registry, optimize memory, backup data, clear your website history, defragment the HDD, get system information, etc.

What’s most pleasing: the program is free, frequently updated, contains everything you need, plus it’s in Russian.

Conclusion: an excellent complex; if you regularly use it together with some utility for speeding up games (from the first point), you can achieve very good results.

Wise Disk Cleaner

This program, in my opinion, is one of the fastest for cleaning your hard drive from various and unnecessary files: cache, browsing history, temporary files, etc. Moreover, it does nothing without your knowledge - first the system scan process occurs, then it informs you by removing what, how much space can be gained, and then the unnecessary is removed from the hard drive. Very comfortably!

Advantages:

• free + with Russian language support;
• there is nothing superfluous, laconic design;
• fast and meticulous work (after this it is unlikely that another utility will be able to find anything on the HDD that can be deleted);
• Supports all versions of Windows: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1.

CCleaner

Probably one of the most popular PC cleaning utilities, not only in Russia, but also abroad. The main advantage of the program is its compactness and high degree of Windows cleaning. Its functionality is not as rich as Glary Utilites, but in terms of removing “garbage” it can easily compete with it (and perhaps even win).

Main advantages:

• free with Russian language support;
• fast work speed;
• support for popular versions of Windows (XP, 7,8) 32 and 64 bit systems.

I think even these three utilities will be more than enough for most. By choosing any of them and regularly optimizing, you can significantly increase the speed of your PC.

Well, for those for whom these utilities are not enough, I will provide a link to another article on a review of programs for cleaning disks from “garbage”:

Windows optimization and settings

In this subsection I would like to include programs that work in combination: i.e. check the system for optimal parameters (if they are not specified, set them), configure applications correctly, set the necessary priorities for various services, etc. In general, programs that will perform the entire complex of optimization and settings of the OS for more productive work.

By the way, out of all the variety of such programs, I liked only two. But they do improve PC performance, sometimes significantly!

Advanced SystemCare 7

What is immediately captivating about this program is its focus on the user, i.e. you don’t have to deal with lengthy settings, read a mountain of instructions, etc. Installed, launched, clicked analyze, then agreed with the changes that the program proposed to make - and voila, the garbage is removed, with registry errors corrected, etc. it becomes an order of magnitude faster!

Main advantages:

• there is a free version;
• speeds up the overall system and Internet access;
• fine-tunes Windows for maximum performance;
• detects spyware and “unwanted” adware modules and programs and removes them;
• defragments and optimizes the system registry;
• fixes system vulnerabilities, etc.

Conclusion: one of the best programs for cleaning and optimizing your computer. In just a few clicks you can significantly speed up your PC, eliminating a whole mountain of problems and the need to install third-party utilities. I recommend you check it out and test it!

Auslogics BoostSpeed

When I launched this program for the first time, I could not imagine that it would find a huge number of errors and problems affecting the speed and stability of the system. It is recommended for all those who are dissatisfied with the speed of their PC, also if your computer takes a long time to turn on and often freezes.

Advantages:

• deep disk cleaning of temporary and unnecessary files;
• correction of “incorrect” settings and parameters affecting the speed of the PC;
• fixing vulnerabilities that may affect the stability of Windows;

Flaws:

• The program is paid (the free version has significant limitations).

That's all. If you have anything to add, it would be very helpful. All the best to everyone!

The activities of numerous programs on the system can leave behind traces in the form of temporary files, registry entries and other marks that accumulate over time, take up space and affect the speed of the system. Of course, many users do not attach importance to an insignificant drop in computer performance, but it is worth carrying out some kind of cleaning regularly. Special programs aimed at finding and removing garbage, clearing the registry of unnecessary entries and optimizing applications will help in this matter.

Is it worth using system cleaning programs?

The functionality offered by developers of various system cleaning programs is quite wide. The main functions are deleting unnecessary temporary files, searching for registry errors, removing shortcuts, disk defragmentation, system optimization and startup management. Not all of these features are necessary for constant use. Defragmentation is enough to be done once a month, and cleaning of debris will be quite useful once a week.

On smartphones and tablets, the system should also be cleaned regularly to avoid software failures

The functions for optimizing system operation and unloading RAM look much stranger. A third-party program is unlikely to be able to fix your Windows problems the way it is really needed and the way the developers would do it. And besides, searching for vulnerabilities every day is simply a useless exercise. Leaving autoloading to a program is not the best solution. The user should decide for himself which programs to launch when loading the operating system, and which to leave disabled.

Programs from unknown manufacturers do not always do their job conscientiously. By deleting unnecessary files, items that turned out to be necessary may be affected. Thus, one of the most popular programs in the past, Ace Utilites, removed the sound driver, mistaking the executable file for garbage. Those days are long gone, but cleaning programs can still make mistakes.

If you decide to use such applications, then be sure to outline exactly what functions in them interest you.

Let's look at the best programs for cleaning your computer from junk.

The Advanced SystemCare application is a whole set of useful functions that are designed to speed up your personal computer and remove unnecessary files from your hard drive. It is enough to run the program once a week so that the system always works quickly and without freezes. Users have a wide range of options available to them, with many features available in the free version.

One of the best programs for cleaning your system from junk. Supports many settings and additional operating modes. The application applies not only to personal computers, but also to phones, so if your mobile device is slow and clogged with garbage, then Clean Master will fix it. Otherwise, the application has both a classic set of features and rather unusual functions for clearing history and garbage left by instant messengers. The application is distributed free of charge, but it is possible to purchase a pro version, which provides access to auto-updates, the ability to create backups, defragment and automatically install drivers. An annual subscription costs $30. In addition, the developers promise a refund within 30 days if the user is not satisfied with something.

For greater convenience, the interface of the Clean Master program is divided into conditional groups

• stable and fast work;
• a wide range of features in the free version.

• the ability to create backup copies only with a paid subscription.

The Vit Registry Fix application was created specifically for those who are looking for a highly specialized tool for fixing errors in the registry.

In addition, the program is capable of creating backup copies of files in case fixing registry bugs results in even bigger problems.

Vit Registry Fix is ​​installed in a package version along with 4 utilities: to optimize the registry, clean up garbage, manage startup and remove unnecessary applications

• quick search for errors in the registry;
• the ability to configure the program’s operating schedule;
• creating backup copies in case of critical errors.

• small number of functions.

What to do when Windows slows down

It is difficult to find a laptop or personal computer user who is completely satisfied with the performance of their system. Therefore, it is not surprising in the existence of various programs - optimizers and special applications designed to speed up PC operation as much as possible.

You shouldn’t expect fantastic results from their use, but such programs still bring real benefits. Based on the type of optimization, it is most convenient to divide them into the following groups:

• speed up Windows boot and system operation by stopping optional programs and services;
• automating driver update processes;
• providing computer cleaning- searching for and removing various garbage, consisting of temporary files and remnants of old programs;
• fixing system files;
• n normalizing the work of the hard drive.

Most of the activities for optimizing and cleaning a computer can be carried out using the built-in tools of the Windows operating system itself, but specialized software makes life easier for the average user, in some cases completely automating the optimization process. Developers of programs for cleaning your computer from accumulated debris and optimizing Windows operation are guided by the collective experience of the computer community and provide for performing only proven and safe actions. If there is a possibility of making dangerous changes, the current state of the system is remembered and they can be canceled if necessary.

The best programs to optimize Windows boot

Even a freshly installed operating system without any additional software does not use computer resources optimally. The fact is that due to the desire to provide Windows with the widest possible functionality, it also includes numerous services designed to interact with various equipment and implement special options. Moreover, in a number of cases their capabilities remain unclaimed. As a rule, such services start at system startup, increase boot time, occupy RAM, and consume CPU time.

Problem: When installing additional programs, the latter can either be registered in the startup folder or the corresponding registry sections, or add their own services to the system. For example, checking for version updates or activating the required module based on a specific event. The list of programs and services launched when Windows boots can be managed using standard tools, such as msconfig and services.msc, but third-party service utilities provide more extensive capabilities.

Solution: AutoRuns program

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

One of the best programs in this class for optimizing Windows booting is from Sysinternals, which was once acquired by Microsoft. The utility displays absolutely all programs, services, drivers and other system components that are launched not only during boot, but also when users register or other events occur. Works in all versions of Windows, including 64-bit. Shows the properties of any found objects, paths and launch parameters, and the sequence in which they are processed by the operating system. By disabling irrelevant services and programs, the user can increase the loading speed of the OS, free up memory and computing resources of his machine, thereby increasing its performance.

Problem: A large number of applications starting at short intervals and with the same priority compete with each other for the processor's attention. Trying to “pull the blanket” to their side, they can significantly delay the process of completing the download and interfere with the user’s normal work. Standard Windows tools allow you to organize delayed launch of programs, for example, using the task scheduler, but this approach is quite labor-intensive. In addition, processes launched by the scheduler have low priority, which can be critical for individual applications. In this case, it also makes sense to use specialized software.

Solution: Autorun Organizer

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

The easy-to-use Autorun Organizer utility from ChemTable Software has proven itself well. It not only allows you to postpone for a while or completely cancel the startup of any application, but also keeps a startup log, displaying its latest entries in the corresponding panel. This approach provides a visual analysis of the results of changes made to the list of programs launched when the operating system starts. In addition, Autorun Organizer can check these applications for malware using the popular online service Virustotal.

Best programs
to automate driver updates

Problem: Surely many users have encountered a situation where the next update of a driver leads to a significant increase in system stability or performance. Given the large number of installed drivers for various PC or laptop components, as well as peripheral devices, regularly manually checking for updates will take too much time. The best solution in such a situation may be to use the appropriate utility.

Solution: IObit Driver Booster Program

Photo: ru.iobit.com

Latest version: 3.2

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid version PRO (1500 RUR)

The program automatically creates and updates a list of drivers installed in the system, searches for new versions for them on the websites of official manufacturers and offers updating in one click. In addition, Driver Booster optimizes the parameters of some drivers to achieve maximum performance in games. The difference between the free and professional versions is that the latter supports more devices and creates a backup when updating.

The best programs for optimizing system performance

Problem: It often happens that literally a percentage of productivity is not enough for “complete happiness”. This is especially true for not the most modern hardware platforms and for running games of the latest generations on them. To some extent, the use of a specialized game optimizer can save the situation.

Solution: Razer Cortex (PC Game Booster)

Latest version: 7.0.135

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

The program can analyze running processes from the point of view of gaming applications and offer the most productive optimization options. When switching to acceleration mode, Game Booster suspends pre-specified background services and applications, and also releases and cleans unused RAM. The optimizer has flexible manual settings and a large database of ready-made profiles for specific games. In addition to performing basic functions, Razer Cortex is capable of broadcasting gameplay via streaming, creating videos, storing backups in the cloud and much more, providing avid gamers with a convenient, feature-rich environment.

The best programs to defragment your hard drive and optimize its performance

Problem: Information on a hard disk is stored in the form of interconnected blocks of a fixed size. When writing a file with a volume exceeding the size of one block, the drive electronics tries to select the next one in such a way that during the reading process it is accessed in the shortest possible time. If the best place is already taken, the closest available one is used. For simplicity, we believe that the optimal access speed option is when all the blocks are located back to back. But this situation is only possible when writing to a new or ordered drive. Periodic installation and uninstallation of various software, as well as the creation and deletion of a large number of temporary files on the hard drive systematically lead to fragmentation of its internal space, as a result of which the performance of the machine can be significantly reduced. There is only one way out here - regularly tidy up the placement of occupied and free blocks.

Solution 1:Standard operating system tools provide defragmentation measures (optimization for Windows 8 and higher) on their own, but there are several points here. Few people pay attention to the fact that, by default, these operations are automatically performed weekly after midnight. Of course, if the computer is running at the time. Nothing prevents the user from initiating HDD optimization or performing garbage collection on SSD using standard means. manual mode, unless he is interested in the advanced capabilities of third-party programs.

Solution 2: Defraggler Program

Latest version: 2.21

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid version Professional ($24.95)

If additional bells and whistles are not needed, and the standard tools are not satisfactory for some reason, we recommend that you pay attention to the fairly simple Defraggler program from Piriform Ltd, which has a Microsoft gold certificate. The utility allows you to perform defragmentation at the folder level or even an individual file. It can work in normal or accelerated mode, can organize empty disk space to prevent fragmentation, and also has a special function for organizing the registry.

The best programs for cleaning your computer,
search and remove garbage, fix system files

Problem: The ideal case, from the point of view of the load on the system, is when all the necessary software is installed at the very beginning of its operation. Almost any installation of programs and their subsequent removal inevitably leaves behind “garbage” that affects performance in one way or another. This problem can be partially solved by using third-party uninstallers.

Solution: Revo Uninstaller

Photo: image.kg

Latest version: 1.95 FreeWare, 3.1.5 Pro

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid PRO version ($39.25)

The application is a kind of cleaning “combine” with several operating modes. The most accurate uninstallation is carried out when the program was installed using Revo Uninstaller. The utility saves the state of the system “before” in its logs and logs changes “in progress”. If the software is already installed, the unique “hunter” mode will help. When it starts, a detailed scan of the system is performed, identifying all relationships and dependent components. The free version has a simplified algorithm for this mode. Direct removal can also be performed using several options, from safe to advanced. In any case, the process precedes the creation of a restore point before uninstallation. In addition to performing basic functions, Revo Uninstaller is capable of removing unnecessary and temporary files, cleaning browsers, and managing applications that automatically launch when Windows boots.

Problem: The additional functionality of the Revo Uninstaller program is not able to fully replace both the startup management utilities already discussed and specialized tools for cleaning up garbage in the operating system.

Solution: CCleaner

Latest version: 5.16.5551

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid versions Professional ($24.95) and Business ($39.95)

The utility is designed to search and remove any garbage that inevitably appears in the computer's memory during operation. First of all, this concerns the operation of the operating system itself: the recycle bin, temporary files, irrelevant logs, clipboard, memory dumps during failures and other remnants of activity. No less important for the optimal functioning of a computer or laptop is the correctness of the registry, in which outdated keys and entire branches are systematically accumulated that refer to no longer existing paths, libraries, programs, fonts, and so on. Another way to accumulate garbage is Internet surfing. CCleaner allows you to delete your browsing and download history, saved cookies, as well as the cache contents of all popular browsers. Finally, the utility is capable of cleaning up garbage after other programs that create temporary files during operation.

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

Defragmentation (optimization) of the drive is only a side function of the utility, although it is performed using improved algorithms and with a visual display of the actions performed, unlike standard Windows tools. The advantage of WDC is the ability to clean the system of unused and temporary files, and this activity can be carried out both comprehensively and by individual categories of “garbage”. For example, unnecessary system files (the lion's share of them are Windows update installers), various auxiliary components of additional software, such as Microsoft Office, as well as the results of Internet surfing, stored in a large number of separate folders, the contents of which will never be accessed by browsers again. Of course, the launch of the utility can be scheduled at the most convenient time for the user, and the composition of the objects to be deleted is fully controlled.

The best universal system optimization programs

Along with utilities tailored to perform a limited range of tasks, many developers offer universal packages that allow for comprehensive system maintenance and optimization.

Auslogics BoostSpeed ​​program

What to do when your computer slows down? Typical problems and solutions

The computer may slow down for the following reasons:

The system disk is running low on free space. Install Wise Disk Cleaner and clean the system. Launch as needed.

The loading time of the operating system has noticeably increased. Use the CCleaner utility. If you suspect that the problem is caused by one of the recently installed programs, optimize startup using one of the appropriate tools. If necessary, remove the problematic application using the Revo Uninstaller utility. Use as needed.

Disk operations have slowed down. Defragment using Defraggler or Wise Disk Cleaner. Run periodically.

Servicing your system with the help of someone you like universal package- one of the best options. It has only one significant drawback - free versions of programs for optimizing Windows operation and for cleaning your computer from debris have greatly reduced functionality. But such a comprehensive program contains all the tools that you may need over time to keep your PC or laptop in perfect order. You just need to run it periodically, analyze problems and make decisions on proposed measures.
