Do you want to launch your applications faster, personalize Windows at your fingertips or automate the cleaning and maintenance of your PC? This little free utility will do all that for you.
Software to clean and optimize your PC is legion on the Web. Among this plethora of offerings, we obviously find solutions from large publishers, often paying, but also applications designed by independent and talented developers. Among the lot, those of Kurt Zimmermann have carved out a good reputation for their effectiveness and their follow-up over time. We recently presented HDCleaner, one of this developer’s best-known software, and today it’s TweakPower’s turn to be in the spotlight.
If HDCleaner mainly focuses on cleaning and recovering PC storage space, TweakPower is a toolbox intended to optimize the operation and personalize the appearance of Windows. A large number of options, parameters and functions are accessible through the software interface, allowing you to act on a multitude of aspects and mechanisms of the system. The possibilities are so numerous that you may even feel a little lost at first.
TweakPower indeed offers many advanced administration tools, to modify deep and important system settings, which must therefore be handled with extreme caution. However, it is not necessary to use all available features to take advantage of the application and make Windows work or look better. Some very simple options and settings already allow you to obtain excellent results and make your computer faster and more pleasant on a daily basis.
In terms of performance optimization, TweakPower has for example a button in its title bar to free up RAM with a single click, a module to automatically configure the Internet connection or even a tool for safely defragmenting the Windows registry. The application also offers an automatic cleaning and maintenance system, which allows you to schedule actions such as checking for software updates, speeding up the launch of applications, adjusting the priority of background processes, or even checking and Repair the file system.
TweakPower also brings together many customization options in one place, allowing you to precisely adapt Windows to your needs and tastes. Speed and appearance of the mouse pointer, Start menu items, window animation effects, system font size and style or even width of horizontal and vertical scroll bars, the list of possibilities is gigantic. All changes are of course reversible at any time, and in order to experiment safely, the application has a one-click restore point creation button, always accessible at the top of the window.
Completely free, TweakPower works on many versions of Windows (Vista, 7, 8, 10 and of course 11) and in 32 and 64 bit versions. The executable program is particularly light, weighing only 22 MB, and the application also exists in a portable version requiring no installation to use. Finally, note that the software is entirely in French, even if many translations and turns of phrase are still frankly clumsy, and that its developer updates it regularly, the latest version dating from September 30, a sign of seriousness. of the project.
