This C# console application, called "WindowsOptimizer," is designed to optimize your Windows system by performing several cleanup operations. It helps improve PC performance by clearing cache, deleting temporary files, cleaning the registry, and removing crash dumps. This can lead to a smoother and faster system performance.
- Clone the repository or download the source code.
- Open the solution in Visual Studio (or any compatible C# IDE).
- Build the solution to create the executable file.
- Run the generated executable to start the optimization process.
The CleanCache method uses the built-in Windows utility cleanmgr.exe to automatically clean the cache, freeing up disk space and potentially enhancing system performance.
The CleanTempFiles method deletes all temporary files located in the Internet Cache folder (Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache). This can help free up storage space and remove unnecessary files from your system.
The CleanRegistry method initiates the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) with a cleanup script (cleanup.reg) to remove unnecessary or invalid entries from the Windows Registry. This can help improve system stability and performance.
The CleanCrashDumps method removes the CrashDumps folder located in the Local Application Data directory (Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData). This folder typically contains crash dump files generated when an application encounters an error. Deleting old crash dumps can save disk space.
