DTweak Free

If you don’t look after your computer from time to time, performance considerably drops, and this isn’t because your computer is infected. Constantly installing and removing items can leave various traces, which create compatibility issues, and various errors. Luckily, DTweak Free can take care of this in the blink of an eye.

The application comes with a custom made interface, giving it some personality. Each panel slides in or out with an animation, and so do entire panels. Even though it may look a little complicated at first, color differentiation helps you identify buttons you can press, items to clean, details, and more.

Among the first areas you’re taken to is the registry cleaner. As stated by the application, it’s best to create a backup in case something goes wrong. There’s a dedicated function, and even one to restore original settings.

Scanning can be done in parallel for all areas, which you can toggle for the process. ActiveX, DLL, and COM objects, program entries, file types and extensions, shared file, invalid paths, and more, are among the areas you can scan. Details are provided, with options to select, or cross out files, or settings you want to leave intact.

There’s a similar scanned which is dedicated to your hard disk drive. It targets start menu items, shortcuts, empty files, as well as temporary local, and Internet files. You’re free to select only those areas you consider need cleaning. No action is taken without your consent.

The application means business, and is more than just a registry cleaner. As such, startup time can be improved by selecting which programs to allow, and which to remove from startup. Dedicated options allow you to quickly launch different Windows system tools for utils, security, file system, network, and common tools.

General security, and visualization options can be tweaked as well. System, and optimizations tabs give you the possibility to block specific Windows features, such as the Task Manager, Registry Editor, or hide different visual style options for a bit more performance.

More info on your computer can be found in the information section. An organized table lets you view info on operating system, CPU, and other hardware components. The only thing missing is the possibility to schedule cleaning sessions for less effort on your behalf.

On an ending note, DTweak free is a powerful suite of system cleaning, and optimization tools which is sure to help you recover at least a bit of performance, and free space. Even though there’s no built-in scheduler, you’re sure to keep your PC in good shape if using the application every now and then.
