It seems it's a fairly cookie cutter program that wastes an awful lot of bytes and CPU cycles on just emptying your recycle bin, removing "internet clutter," (i.e. clearing your cache and temp files), removing broken shortcuts, twiddling your run-on-startup apps, etc., which are all actions that are not only fabulously unlikely to make your Windows machine perform any faster but are also all things you could do yourself in about thirty seconds.

I lifted that screenshot from this video, chosen purely on the merits of this guy's hat.

You can also find plenty of places to download the installer found on the Win Cleaner USB drive (it's just a cheap USB storage stick in a funny shaped housing) and try it yourself... possibly preferably inside a virtual machine.

It most likely does nothing. I'm a bit angry that idiots certainly made a lot of money out of that scam.

Before you know it you're debugging Snaps.

True, though this does seem super dated for Windows 8. This company was releasing early XP shit in 2012+

^also wow windows 8 was released 13 years ago?^

Yeah, same. Thought "oh, it's pretty recent" lol

MacWeenCleaners, such a shitty clan.

More like DBAN

Windows 8.1 was released in 2013, so yeah, a blast from the past!

Exactly my question.

I'm betting it looks at things that run-on-startup and more to check if theyr'e not system mandatory turns that off second would probably be erasing temp files, since windows notoriously has temp file deletion, and lastly might (heavy might) delete objects like Downloads that you haven't opened for more than a year or so, assuming you simply forgot those

Windows 8 was just Windows ME2.

If you still care, someone in here summarized it. And it’s about as worthless as you’d guess
