2024-02-12 01:00:14

Recently, Microsoft’s new PC Manager application specially designed for Windows 11 has been put on the Microsoft Store. I believe many users have begun to try this application. One of its functions is Deep Clean, which is intended to speed up the computer’s cleaning process. running speed, but has been found to slow down users’ computers.

The website Neowin recently reported that the Deep Clean function of Microsoft PC Manager is suspected of slowing down the computer. This function mainly checks the user’s computer to find and remove files that are no longer needed, thereby freeing up space and achieving the purpose of speeding up the computer. . However, the result is counterproductive, because the Deep Clean function will clear all files in the computer’s Prefetch folder, and the computer uses this folder to save information about the applications run by the user so that it can be started faster next time.

Although the above files are not required, they are very useful in keeping your computer running quickly. When Microsoft PC Manager clears all files in the Prefetch folder, the benefits of fast operation will disappear. Although it achieves the effect of saving storage space, it will actually slow down the overall running speed of the computer. Users who have installed Microsoft PC Manager may want to think twice before using the Deep Clean function to avoid slowing down the computer, or even choose other options.
