Windows Maintenance Tools

2024-01-03

Because I get often asked, what tools I recommend for Windows maintenance, I collected this list.

All tools are free and I use them regularly.

Windows native

• Disk Defragmenter (dfrgui.exe)
• Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe)

Freeware

• Snappy Driver Installer Origin updates drivers.
• Device Cleanup Tool removes unused devices.
• AdwCleaner removes ad- and spyware.
• PatchMyPC updates installed programs.
