Redesigned and even simpler: Instead of the seven categories from before, the new Start Center in the new version of TuneUp Utilities has four areas guiding you directly to the optimisation and customisation functions.

At the same time, you can see the health of your PC at a glance. Problems or bottlenecks are displayed and outstanding optimisation measure recommended. For more performance, more stability, more customisation!

At your fingertips:

* Maintain System
* Increase performance
* Fix problems
* Customize Windows
* Launch Turbo Modus
* Configure Live Optimization

TuneUp Gadget

New in TuneUp Utilities: Users now have a brief overview of system health and easy access to key optimization features without having to start TuneUp Utilities. The TuneUp Gadget for your desktop:

* Displays your PC's health directly on the Desktop
* Gives you direct access to key functions
* Runs under Windows Vista™ and Windows 7™

less

The TuneUp Gadget in the new version displays your computer’s health clearly and directly on the desktop. Any problems or bottlenecks found are fixed faster this way — usually with just one click. The TuneUp Gadget works under Windows Vista™ and Windows 7™.

 

Turbo Mode

* Concentrates the entire performance of the PC on active programmes
* Turns off unnecessary processes or those specified by the user
* Provides a smoother working or gaming experience

less

Once you switch on Turbo Mode from TuneUp Utilities, functions that are used rarely or not at all including planned background maintenance tasks are disabled. This provides concentrated power for the programme currently active. Or for a smother flow in games.

If you need specific Windows services such as the Search function or the Sidebar, background programs such as printing or planned Windows maintenance tasks, Turbo Mode can easily be switched off again! If you wish, the user can also decide which programmes should be switched off to increase performance.

 

Configure Live Optimization

* Manages resources efficiently
* Improves program response speed
* Accelerates program startup times

less

Live Optimization automatically prevents background programs from reserving too much PC performance for themselves. You will experience a noticeable quicker programme startup, greater speed, and more stability on the computer. Programmes operate much faster and games run with visibly more frames per second.

 

Free up disk space

* Frees up disk space
* Discovers junk data
* Removes temporary and unnecessary files

less

Remove unnecessary junk data automatically created while using Windows or other programmes. Delete temporary Internet files and space hogs like huge videos or large image files that are no longer needed. The disk space that has been freed makes working on your PC more manageable.
 

 

Configure system startup

* Shortens system startup
* Turns off startup programs
* Provides easy and clear explanations and recommendations

less

TuneUp Utilities recognises almost all starting programs when your PC is powered on and provides information on the purpose of a program. Now you decide whether you need the program or not. There are three possibilities for this: necessary, unnecessary, or optional.

Every program that is turned off increases the performance of your PC and shortens the start process. If TuneUp Utilities does not recognise the programme, an online search feature can be displayed with a mouse click.
 

 

Display and uninstall programs

* Displays a list containing all installed programs
* Helps to search for programs no longer used
* Allows quick, clean uninstallation

less

TuneUp Utilities displays every program installed on your PC. You can see which programs you use rarely or not at all, and you can uninstall them with one click.

If you do not know what a program name refers to, there is a simple online search function which can help.
