Ramblings of an old Doc
Comparable to CCleaner per PC World
Published on November 6, 2024 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

MS just released an updated PC Manager widget (PCM) which isn't too shabby and which integrates with other widgets as well. Btw, Windows+W makes your widgets appear. PCM also has a small task bar which can remain on your desktop if you wish (2 in my screenie) The task bar has various apps on it like screenshot internet speed, notepad and you can add to it via the three dots, or make it disappear. 

You can get additional screenies here: https://pcmanager.microsoft.com/en-us if you wish. It supports W11 and W10. It has new abilities to clear unnecessary files more quickly, and boost speed, and memory, which you see in my first screenshot. I chose a dark theme for it. I takes System or Light theme as well.

The number in the above screenie shows the tools you can add to the task bar, and shows you the PC Manager Home Screen. As you can see there are other buttons on the left vertical menu. I didn't make screenies of them all, but here's one showing the tools you can add to the task bar. There's also a link for feedback, if you find bugs or problems.

You can read more in the PC World article linked above (External Link).

Give it a whirl and tell us what you think.

I'm sorry, but I don't want Microsoft changing my settings for me. I just don't trust MS. This might be okay for a novice user, but I just don't want or need it.
