More life in an older PC. Before you pay for a new one.
A slow PC is usually a busy PC. How eclean trims startup, services, and clutter on aging hardware, and is honest about what software cannot fix.
Free · Windows 10 and 11
The problem.
The PC that felt fast in 2019 now takes minutes to settle after login, and every search for help ends the same way, with someone telling you to buy a new one. Most of the slowdown is not age. It is years of installed software, startup apps, and background services stacking up on hardware that never got faster.
An older PC attracts two kinds of advice. The first is to replace it. The second is a one-click speedup tool that promises a new machine and never says what it changed. Neither takes the machine seriously. Most of what makes an aging PC slow is accumulation, and accumulation can be removed.
eclean works through that accumulation in the open. Startup apps, services, and scheduled tasks appear in one place so you can trim what no longer needs to be there. Cleaning is previewed before it runs, removals include the leftovers, and every optimization explains itself with a supported route back. All of it is free on Windows 10 and 11, which matters most on the PCs that never moved to 11.
Memory is usually the tightest resource on aging hardware, and it is where the tweak list further down earns its keep. Stopping apps from running in the background returns memory the machine was spending without asking, and the service host tweak regroups Windows services into fewer processes, which it plainly describes as trading some isolation for less resident memory. Turning off Widgets and suggested app installs removes background fetching a machine this age never volunteered for. Every one of these explains itself before it runs and reverts from the history afterward.
Small drives compound the problem, because a nearly full system drive slows the whole machine around it. Cleaner shows the clutter by where it came from and what removing it frees, and the large file finder sorts the survivors by size and modified date, which on a PC this age usually surfaces years of downloads nobody remembers. The software inventory does the same for programs, with install dates that make the archaeology quick.
The honest paragraph is the one the one-click tools skip. If the machine runs a mechanical hard drive, an SSD will change more than every setting on this page together, and if the processor is the wall, no cleanup moves it. The inventory and live views exist so you can see which case you are in before spending money either way. eclean's job is to remove the accumulated load and show you what remains, and what remains is the truth about the hardware.
What eclean does here.
A slow PC is usually a busy PC
The work an older PC does before you ask for anything lives in three corners of Windows. Booster brings startup apps, services, and scheduled tasks together, so years of accumulated background load is something you can see and trim deliberately.
In Booster
Space back on a small drive
Older PCs often run small drives that years of clutter have filled. Cleaner groups it by where it comes from, browsers, apps, Windows itself, and games, and shows what will be removed and how much space it frees before anything happens.
In Cleaner
Years of software, one inventory
Desktop programs, packaged Windows apps, and browser extensions appear side by side with size, install date, and publisher, so the software that piled up since the PC was new is a list you can work through instead of a mystery.
In Uninstaller
Defaults chosen on purpose
Windows ships with defaults chosen for everyone, which means no one in particular. Optimizer explains what each recommendation changes and why it can help, keeps a history, and supported changes can be reverted from the same place you enabled them.

Free on Windows 10 and 11, no trial timer.
Download freeThe tweaks, by name. Each one explains itself before it runs.
Disable Background Apps
Prevents apps from running in the background when not actively in use. This reduces CPU and memory usage, extends battery life on laptops, and improves overall system responsiveness.
Disable Svchost Splitting
Combines Windows services into fewer svchost.exe processes instead of running each separately. This can significantly reduce RAM usage, though it slightly decreases service isolation.
Disable Widgets
Turns off the Windows Widgets panel and, when possible, removes related components. This reduces background content fetching, memory usage, and taskbar clutter.
Disable Content Delivery
Stops Windows from automatically installing suggested apps, showing app recommendations in the Start menu, and displaying tips and advertisements throughout the system.
Every tweak above changes Windows settings, and applied changes land in a history. See how Optimizer works
Proof, then limits.
What you can check
eclean is free on Windows 10 and 11, so a PC that never moved to Windows 11 is covered.
In BoosterBooster shows startup apps, services, and scheduled tasks together, so the whole background load is visible in one place.

Where eclean stops
eclean removes accumulated load. It does not add cores, memory, or a faster drive.
On a mechanical hard drive, an SSD upgrade will do more than any software. Sometimes that is the honest answer.
If eclean steps over a line here, tell us and we'll fix it.
Still deciding? Fair questions, answered.
What does my PC need to run it?
Very little. If your PC runs Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), it runs eclean. The full spec sheet is one page long.
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.
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.
