Microsoft soon to release their own system cleanup tool for Win 10 and 11

It's been around for years...

First look at Microsoft's CCleaner-like PC Manager application - gHacks Tech News

Microsoft PC Manager is a new beta application by Microsoft that promises one-click speed boosts, full system check-ups and more.

I guess it's getting a bit more attention now because they've made it available via the MS Store...

Free download... Like PC Manager hasn't been a forced in to the OS for months. At least they let you uninstall it now.

Given how bad a job they do with Windows 11, I'd prefer to use third party tools if I ever wanted to clean-up an install.

Yeah I have always used the portable version of CCleaner personally. Not sure how this PC manager tool compares..
 
Used to love using CCleaner back in the day. Not used it for maybe 10 years now. Good thing too as I recall they got hacked and one of the updates pushed out a dodgy copy.

So when is the tool that has apparently been available for ages, now going to be available?

It seems to be supported by a Discord channel of all things.

The bottom of https://pcmanager.microsoft.com/ links you to https://discord.com/invite/FTDTddsPgd

Within the Discord are links to download the installer: https://discord.com/channels/1056873365350125609/1057483613358276698/1330487464992837664 (I don't know if these links last very long or not, if not you'll have to join the Discord yourself)

Not the most reassuring reasoning as to why it isn't available via the MS Store everywhere...

I'll wait until it released on the Microsoft store, then give it a try.
