Microsoft is developing a Windows system optimization program called 'PC Manager' that combines existing Windows tools into one interface.

If you are a Windows user, you have likely run into various Windows system cleaners or system optimization programs that promise to increase the speed of your computer by deleting unnecessary files and Registry keys.

While some people love these programs and say that they increase the speed of their computer, Microsoft has always said that Windows users should avoid all Registry cleaners as they could damage the operating system.

While at first glance, Microsoft's PC Manager app looks similar to one of these system optimizers, it actually acts as a central location for performing various tasks that already exist in other built-in Windows tools.

The Cleanup section contains four different tools used to optimize your Windows PC by looking for unnecessary files, high resource-utilizing processes, rarely used apps, large files, and automatic startup programs that increase the time to boot into the operating system.

For advanced users, PC Manager will not bring much to the table that is not already found in Windows.
