Description
A PC that slows down over time, a boot that takes forever, a C drive that suddenly turns red, and no idea which cleaner to install or which one bundles extra software. Glary Utilities puts the cleaning, repair and tuning chores in one window: more than twenty maintenance tools sit together, and one click of maintenance sweeps junk files, registry errors, privacy traces and unneeded startup items in one pass, and the free edition is enough to use it.
The overview page shows how many seconds Windows took to boot right up front, with a button to the startup manager beside it. For a closer look, the left side groups tools by purpose: Clean Up and Repair, Optimize and Improve, Privacy and Security, Files and Folders, and System Tools, each with a one line description so you do not have to guess. In the free edition, deep cleaning, automatic maintenance and erasing privacy tracks at shutdown carry a Pro badge and are paid features, while the everyday cleaning tools work as they are.
One click maintenance: clean junk files, fix system errors, clear privacy records and tune performance in a single click, handy for routine upkeep without tweaking each item
Disk Cleanup: finds old temporary files, obsolete installation files, logs, browser cache and error reports that are safe to delete, to free up disk space
Registry Repair: cleans invalid registry entries to cut down on odd program errors and system crashes
Startup Manager: shows which programs slow down boot so you can disable the ones you do not need, and the overview page displays the Windows boot time directly
Uninstall Manager: completely uninstalls programs you no longer need to free more disk space
Shortcuts Fixer and Empty Folders Finder: repairs broken Start menu and desktop shortcuts and finds empty folders on the computer to remove
Duplicate Files Finder: searches out space wasting duplicate files that tend to cause confusion
Context Menu Manager: tidies the entries piled up in the right click menu of files and folders
Privacy protection: finds and deletes browser history and the recently opened file traces programs leave behind, and can delete files so completely that they cannot be recovered
