Microsoft is currently working on brand new software called PC Manager. Comparable to what CCleaner can offer, this official tool coming to Windows 11 and 10 will clean up and optimize the performance of your PC. For now, PC Manager is available in beta.
While DirectStorage 1.1 lets you boost the loading time of PC games on Windows 10 and 11, we’ve just learned that Microsoft is working on a handy new official tool. Indeed, the Redmond firm is currently working on a new application called PC Manager.
Like what offers CCleanerone of the market benchmarks in this area, PC Manager will allow you to clean and optimize the performance of your PC. If most of the features offered are already integrated into Windows 11 and 10, PC Manager has the merit of grouping them all in the same place. There is for example a storage management function to manage or delete unused applicationswhile it is possible to carry out a complete cleaning of the OS or to search for large files on your disks.
Via the process management function, user will be able to quickly end tasks which consume RAM. PC Manager even offers a Boost button to delete temporary files and free up memory, which can be especially useful on older PCs. It can also help you monitor resource usage or quickly change your default browser. Finally, PC Manager also offers a Recommendations section, with various tips from Microsoft to keep your PC in shape, such as disabling certain apps at startup.

PC Manager, a promising tool but difficult to test
Note that the public version of the PC Manager beta appeared on the Chinese Microsoft official site, which suggests that the app would be aimed at a specific market at first. On our side, we managed to download and install the beta of PC Manager. On the other hand, the software refuses to run on our two PCs under Windows 11. At our colleagues at TechRadar, they explain that they managed to launch the application, while specifying all the same that a third of the functionalities did not work.
As of now, Microsoft has yet to make an official statement regarding PC Manager. In fact, we do not know if a deployment of the software is planned on the European and French market in particular. We have to cross our fingers.
