A steadier Windows under Valorant. Your game and anti-cheat stay untouched.
eclean tunes Windows around Valorant, explains each change down to the Windows setting behind it, and never touches the game or its anti-cheat.
Free · Windows 10 and 11 · Never touches Vanguard
The problem.
A duel comes down to one flick, the frame time spikes, and your crosshair lands late. Every fix thread ends with the same warning about what Vanguard might flag, so you are left choosing between the stutter and a tweak nobody can vouch for. The changes worth making live in Windows, not in the game.
Valorant is a bad game to experiment on. Vanguard sits deep in the system, forum threads disagree about what it tolerates, and nobody wants to write a suspension appeal over a settings tweak. So most players live with the stutter, because the fixes on offer cannot say what they touch.
eclean draws the line where the risk starts. It changes Windows, the background work and the settings that shape responsiveness and frame consistency, and it never reaches into the game, the Riot client, or the anti-cheat. Each tweak says what it changes and why it can help before you apply it, and supported changes revert from the same place you enabled them, so a tweak you regret is a tweak you undo.
That boundary is worth spelling out, because it is the whole reason this page exists. Everything eclean touches lives on the Windows side, in scheduler settings, background services, and startup entries. Nothing reaches into Valorant's install, the Riot client, or Vanguard, and nothing injects into a running game. The tweaks this page lists further down are named, described in the same words the app uses, and applied through Windows' own mechanisms, which is a different category of change from the memory patches and undocumented scripts that fix-it threads warn about.
What can Windows-side tuning actually do for a Valorant player? Frame consistency and input feel are where it shows. The MMCSS tweak adjusts how Windows reserves CPU time away from multimedia applications, which the app explains in terms of frame times and input latency before you apply it. Foreground app priority tells the scheduler the active window matters most. Disabling Game Bar removes its recording services from the background entirely. None of this raises what your hardware can draw, and eclean says so plainly. It lowers how often something else gets in the way.
Between matches, measurement beats folklore. If a round stuttered, the live CPU, graphics, memory, and storage views show what the hardware was being asked to do, so you can rule out a full drive or exhausted memory before touching another setting. The Pro tier holds the advanced pieces, global timer resolution and core parking among them, and each explains its power cost as clearly as its benefit before it runs.
What eclean does here.
Tuning that stops at the game's edge
eclean changes Windows settings and stays out of Valorant, Riot's client, and Vanguard. Each change says which setting it touches and what it does for your game. Changes land in a history, and supported ones can be undone. Expert CPU, timer, and power tweaks need Pro.
Pro covers 2 PCs. Family covers 5.

Rule out causes between matches
When the stutter shows up mid-match, the focused CPU, graphics, memory, and storage views show what the hardware is being asked to do right now, so you can rule causes out between games instead of guessing.

DNS by measurement, not folklore
Booster measures resolver response times from your own connection and shows the results, so the choice is backed by numbers. Faster, more private lookups are the win here, not lower in-game ping, and eclean does not pretend otherwise.

Optimize MMCSS
Configures the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service to allocate more CPU resources to applications. Reduces system responsiveness reservation, improving game frame times and reducing input latency.
Prioritize Foreground Apps
Configures Windows process scheduling to give higher priority to the active window. This improves UI responsiveness, reduces input lag in games, and provides a smoother multitasking experience.
Disable Game Bar
Disables Xbox Game Bar, Game DVR, and background game recording features. This reduces CPU and memory overhead during gaming sessions and eliminates overlay-related performance impacts.
Disable Network Throttling
Disables Windows network throttling during multimedia playback. Removes the 10 packets/ms limit to improve network performance for gaming, streaming, and VoIP applications.
Enable Timer Resolution Pro
Allows global timer resolution requests for lower latency in some apps. This is an advanced setting and can increase power use because the CPU wakes more often.
Disable Core Parking Pro
Keeps all CPU cores active instead of allowing Windows to park idle cores. Provides more consistent performance and eliminates micro-stutters from core wake-up latency, but increases power consumption.

Where eclean stops

Still deciding? Fair questions, answered.
Is eclean safe to download?
Yes. The installer is a single signed file from our own release server, with no bundled extras. While our signing certificate is new, Windows SmartScreen may ask you to confirm the publisher, which reads eclean Labs AB, the company that signs our Windows installer. What the app collects, and what it never touches, is documented in the trust center.
Will it break my PC?
It is designed not to. Every change is explained before it is applied, you decide what runs, and supported changes keep a route back inside the app, so nothing you try has to be permanent.
Is the free version actually useful?
Yes. The core of eclean, understanding your PC and keeping it tidy, is free without time limits or nagging. Pro adds the upkeep that runs on its own, like weekly cleanup.
