Ashampoo WinOptimizer 17: Download the full version for system optimization for free

At some point, the time has come when the PC is idling unreasonably. Ashampoo WinOptimizer 17 removes brakes and keeps Windows fit with live monitors.

Working with Windows leaves traces, over time a lot of data garbage accumulates. In addition, there are file dismemberment (fragmentation), settings that make little sense and programs that, due to their integration in the autostart ramps, load automatically when the system starts up. The more brakes that come together, the more likely your PC will capitulate - even a power machine with modern hardware. Here you can get an antidote: Ashampoo WinOptimizer 17(AWO 17). You can use it to carry out important maintenance work relating to Windows, browsers and drives (hard disk and SSD). In contrast to Windows, all tuning modules are gathered in one place - and you even tune the registry, which Windows does not have auto-clean for. Used regularly, you can use the AWO 17 to effectively counteract a gradual loss of PC speed. The suite even tackles the topic of power consumption: How to make your computer more energy efficient.

The program runs under Windows 7 (no Service Pack 1 required), Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The manufacturer specifies a graphics card with support for 1,280x1,040 pixels as hardware system requirements. Administrator rights and an Internet connection are required in order to be able to carry out the registration.

This is what the Ashampoo WinOptimizer 17 does

The more disruptive factors come together, the more you benefit from the optimization program. The gain in speed that can be achieved is particularly high with a large number of (senseless) autostart programs: Clearing out the autostart ramps is usually the most effective - because autostart programs are usually the biggest drag on. In addition to the autostart configuration, you clear out your services. The program supplements each star rating, which you can use to quickly decide which autostarts and services are required. Windows do not offer this kind of help; the OS's own service manager in particular has significantly fewer features in comparison. If you are in a hurry, you can use one-click optimization: You can access it in different ways. The module cleans the disk of Windows garbage at the file system level (e.g. temporary files),

Most functions are suitable for hard drives and SSDs. It is best to use two modules only with the right data carrier type: defragmentation for a hard drive and the tweaking / setting tool "SSD Assistant" for modern flash storage. While the defragmentation (optionally carried out automatically) rearranges file components in a meaningful way, the SSD assistant deactivates various system functions (useful for hard disks) that impair the performance of SSDs and promote wear and tear on the theoretically sensitive data carriers.

In addition to speed optimization, Ashampoo WinOptimizer 17 is dedicated to saving electricity. The package offers an alternative to Windows' own energy options: the "Energy Manager". It lists existing energy saving plans in the system as tiles. If you select it, the information view in the main window is updated with the power plan parameters. This is more convenient than using Windows means to compare how the installed plans differ. If you activate "High performance" instead of the Windows standard mode "Balanced", this theoretically leads to a gain in speed. Interesting: Some PC manufacturers (OEMs) install their own energy saving plans on their devices. Ashampoo imitates them: The "Ashampoo balanced power saver" Enters the system when the Energy Manager is called up and causes you to use the maximum WLAN energy-saving mode in notebook WLAN operation - instead of the medium WLAN energy-saving mode; this can slow down the surfing speed, but it turns out to be more energy-efficient.

Real-time optimization (s) in the background

You give Windows a boost with three automatic live watchdogs: A process prioritization gives programs a plus in performance. For this purpose, it ranks the priority to "higher than normal", which exceeds the usual process priority "normal" by one; it is best to configure the whole thing so that the acceleration works for as long as you like instead of the factory-set five seconds. Another automatic module removes traces of use when you close the programs that caused it. The third automated tool frees up resources for smoother gaming sessions. There is also an analysis tool that shows you whether your hard drive is intact. You can also read your temperature here. Two further modules reveal the largest memory hog files and file duplicates. You can delete them with just a few clicks.

Ashampoo enables you to influence system behavior with several tweaking utilities: How about making the password entry for the user account independent? For Windows 10 there is a separate tweaker that trims privacy-relevant things to more discretion. When it comes to defragmentation, activate an automatic system that starts the file system optimization when the HDD is idle. Speaking of trimming, the Defrag module also offers that for SSDs - but only in AWO 18. The defrag tool of the AWO 17 full version is also powerful. Furthermore, the software is self-critical: There are two benchmarks on board with which you can test the (failure) of the optimization measures applied.

ADS scanner finds hidden data streams

"File Tools> ADS Scanner" is found in the suite, a professional tool: You can feel the NTFS file system invisible data streams ( ADS, Alternate Data Streams). These are files that you attach to other files using command line commands. You can then delete the original files. You can use further system commands to restore the original elements. If you have the suspicion that a file could be enriched with additional content on the basis of ADS, you can use the Ashampoo scanner to disguise it. Such software is to be looked for with a magnifying glass in the download area and is, therefore, an asset for computer professionals. But the whole thing is also helpful for critical non-professionals: Malicious programs sometimes also use ADS to recover information. Practical: The ADS detective has a search function so that you can quickly confirm a specific suspicion. You can delete invisible file attachments with one click. The latter can also be done by copying the affected files to a FAT32 data carrier or by burning them to CD; the CD file system does not support the NTFS specialty ADS. The scanner makes the eradication of the additions more convenient and faster. The AWO-17 function is one of the innovations compared to the AWO previous version 16.
