eclean releases

eclean 1.4.4 fixes pages shifting up after a clean.

Fixed

• After a clean, pages no longer shift up and leave a blank band at the bottom until you restart eclean. This still happened on some PCs in 1.4.3.

eclean 1.4.3 fixes pages you couldn't scroll back up after cleaning, and asks before you turn off a privacy setting.

Fixed

• After a clean, pages no longer shift up so you can't scroll back to the top until you restart eclean.

Improved

• Turning off usage data, error reports, crash reports or your eclean report now asks you first, and the privacy descriptions are clearer.
• The link to review eclean on Trustpilot has moved from under the dashboard to the account menu.
• Settings links to the eclean community on Discord, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X.
• The eclean Score share button has been removed.

eclean 1.4.2 fixes a crash when Windows shuts down or restarts, a layout bug after cleaning, and several background errors. It also adds your eclean report and shows when a payment is still processing.

Fixed

• eclean no longer crashes when Windows shuts down, restarts or signs you out while eclean is starting or showing a dialog.
• After a clean, the page header no longer disappears and leaves a blank band until you restart eclean.
• Discord Rich Presence stays on while eclean is in the tray, without showing the last page you had open.
• The File shredder no longer reports files that Windows won't let any app delete, such as temporary files still held by an installer, as errors. It still lists them as not removed, and now also removes read-only files in Quick mode.
• Fewer false errors from the eclean service when it isn't installed or a Windows service can't be changed.

New

• Your eclean report in Settings > Account shows what eclean did on all your PCs in the last 30 days: space freed, cleans, tweaks applied, apps uninstalled and days used. You can turn it off at any time, which deletes the totals.
• Tips and offers on Home, one at a time, which you can close.
• If you pay by bank debit, Account settings now shows when a payment is still processing or has failed, instead of showing no plan.

Improved

• A small link under the dashboard to review eclean on Trustpilot.

eclean 1.4.1 fixes Performance Mode on PCs without Windows' High performance power plan, turns each history page into one list you scroll through, and gives Pro a new welcome.

Fixed

• Performance Mode no longer fails to start when Aggressive Power Mode is on and your PC has no High performance power plan, which is true of many laptops. eclean now leaves your power plan as it is on those PCs and applies your other Performance Mode settings, and its settings say why Aggressive Power Mode is unavailable.
• Profile headers on Browser extensions no longer leave a gap that the list shows through while you scroll.

Improved

• History pages are now one list. Older entries load as you scroll instead of on separate pages, so nothing jumps, and a batch of uninstalls or Optimizer changes is never split in two.

Also new

• A new welcome when you get Pro, showing the parts of eclean where your Pro features are, each one click away.

eclean 1.4 redesigns most of the app. Each page now tells you where you stand at the top and explains every item in plain words. Pro gains features that keep working in the background, and several Pro features are now free.

New in Pro

• Automatic cleanup cleans what apps leave behind every week, even when eclean is closed, and gives you two minutes to review each run first.
• Stay optimized puts your Optimizer changes back when a Windows update undoes them.
• Saved setups switch between your own sets of Optimizer changes in one press.
• Automatic DNS keeps you on the fastest DNS at your blocking level and tells you whenever it switches.
• Space watch tells you when a drive is filling up and which folder grew.
• Quiet uninstall removes apps without making you click through their uninstallers.
• Leftover watch tells you when an app is uninstalled outside eclean, so you can clean up what it left.
• Automatic performance mode turns on Performance Mode while the apps you choose are running.
• Expert tweaks, formerly Beta tweaks, offer deeper CPU, timer and power changes.
• Three new themes, Twilight, Nocturne and Fjord.

Redesigned

• The Optimizer is now one page. Recommended changes come first and apply in two presses, with Trade-offs, Advanced and Expert below. Every row explains what it changes and how to turn it off.
• The Junk cleaner tells you how much is safe to clean as soon as you open it. Only safe items are ticked, every item says what happens if you clean it, and a default clean keeps you signed in to your apps.
• Large files checks every drive and sends what you delete to the Recycle Bin, with Put back.
• The DNS Optimizer gives you one clear answer, ignores differences too small to notice, and undoes a switch automatically if lookups fail.
• Desktop apps (formerly Software) shows what's using your space and plans every uninstall in one place. Store apps (formerly UWP Apps) can put back apps that came with Windows.
• Home shows your real optimization progress and offers to restore changes Windows turned back.
• Your PC shows your hardware with maker logos and warns when a display isn't running at its best resolution or refresh rate.

Now free

• Checking every drive at once in Large files.
• Encrypted DNS.
• Uninstalling several apps in one go.
• A note when an app was removed outside eclean, so you can check its leftovers.

Also new

• The Junk cleaner can clean Windows' own leftovers, like old update files and memory dumps, on administrator accounts.
• The Junk cleaner can close open browsers and apps before it cleans, and now checks folders only administrators can read.
• A notification center in the title bar, and notifications when background tasks finish.
• Release notes inside the app.

Fixed

• Cleaning no longer breaks Spotify sign-in or removes Logitech G HUB's settings.
• The Junk cleaner no longer counts event logs it can't remove.
• Large batches of protected files now clean reliably.
• Encrypted DNS no longer falls back to plain DNS without telling you.
• Performance Mode now works on standard accounts.
• The eclean service now installs on clean Windows 11 PCs.
• Crash reports now follow your privacy setting before anything is sent.

Renamed and removed

• Software is now Desktop apps, UWP Apps is Store apps, Find large files is Large files, Scheduled cleanup is Automatic cleanup and Beta tweaks are Expert tweaks.
• Secure delete is no longer in Large files. The File shredder still has it.
