The PC Boost feature offers only temporary relief from memory usage, with results quickly reverting back to previous levels. Additionally, the app promotes Microsoft Edge, often ignoring users' default browser settings, which can be intrusive and detracts from its overall utility.

Windows 11 performance booster Microsoft PC Manager adds new features

Microsoft's PC Manager is receiving an update to version 3.14, which introduces new features for Windows 11 and Windows 10 users. Key improvements include real-time internet speed monitoring from the desktop toolbar and an upgraded disk cleanup algorithm for better storage optimization. Developed by Microsoft China, PC Manager is available in select countries via the Microsoft Store but is not accessible in Europe and some other regions due to privacy regulations. The application helps free up RAM and storage to enhance PC performance. The update, which began rolling out on October 24, also supports Windows 11’s Widgets board, allowing users to boost performance directly from the widgets. Additionally, the deep cleanup feature has been enhanced to identify and remove more temporary files than built-in Windows solutions, and users can now analyze disk usage for better storage management.
