Brand new cleaners with more power and efficiency

Powerful drive cleaner for more disk space

The cleaners in Ashampoo WinOptimizer 25 are 50% faster and more effective than the previous generation, thanks to a major technological overhaul. Never before has such a drastic improvement been achieved between two WinOptimizer versions! Whether Drive Cleaner or Internet Cleaner, results appear almost instantaneously and junk detection rates are off the charts. Older systems will particularly benefit from the enhanced performance, buttery smooth animations, reduced memory footprint, and new context menus. Naturally, all cleaners have been fine-tuned for current operating systems, setups, and browsers.

A new level of cleanliness

Rid your drives of junk, installation leftovers, and cache files

With the new and extended in-depth cleaning, the hunt for junk files enters a new phase–and privacy and display issues are also easily fixable now! Get rid of old Windows versions, Windows update backups, and Windows usage statistics. Fix display issues in your games by emptying the DirectX shader cache, and speed up your slow Windows Explorer by clearing the preview cache. You'll also regain loads of hard disk space in the process. Benefit from eight powerful new options and give your Windows PC the ultimate performance makeover!

Less is more!

Clean the Windows Registry and more with total clarity and multi-core support

We've redesigned the cleaner interfaces to give you all the essential information at a glance. Fold-out category views have extra details when you need them, and the ever present right-click context menus provide additional features on demand. There's also a search function that spans across all categories. Furthermore, running processes can now be canceled at any time. WinOptimizer 25 is the first version to make full use of multi-core capabilities in its cleaners, e.g. Registry Cleaner, for an additional speed boost. You'll notice the difference straight away!

Universal cookie management

Delete and manage cookies with the best-in-class Windows cookie manager

Despite their usefulness and added comfort, internet cookies have become something of a privacy nightmare recently. Our new cookie manager will help you safely manage your cookies across all of your browsers! Separate the wheat from the chaff and preserve login sessions while eliminating cookies that invade your privacy. Wildcard characters are fully supported and allow you to mark entire domains as safe, but you can also manually add individual URLs. Your settings apply to all of your browsers and can be exported and imported for easy transfer across devices.

Also perfect for Windows 11

Windows 11 was released after the previous WinOptimizer so it was high time the program fully embraced the changes and new possibilities! WinOptimizer 25 features buttons, icons, and dialogs perfectly tailored to the design of Windows 11. Hundreds of tweaks were thoroughly tested and implemented to give you maximum control of the look and feel of this latest Windows version. You can toggle widgets, customize the controversial new taskbar, reconfigure Windows Explorer, and do so much more. Personalize your Windows 11 system to your own rules–or your Windows 10 or 7 machine!

An elegant welcome

System analysis with detailed hardware information and modern Windows design

No. 1 customer request: Bring back the CPU speedometer! So we did–and we also upgraded its design to match the new elegant tile-based look. Get ready for the most sterling and modern looking WinOptimizer ever! Animations are still there but subtle so as to not distract from the content. Contrasts have been improved to reduce eye strain, and the interface now supports Windows Aero Snap for easy window docking and scaling. The result is a 21st century control center for your PC that is brimming with features and information!

Secondary modules also enhanced

Aside from cleaners and optimizers, WinOptimizer also offers modules that other companies would rather sell you as separate applications. This includes Process Manager for a better look at what is running on your PC, and UnInstall Manager for details on installed applications. We didn't forget about these less prominently featured gems during our major technology and design overhaul. These modules have all received speed and visual improvements as well as feature extensions. Icon Saver and Restore Manager now feature a new fresh design while File Wiper offers better handling. In total, Ashampoo WinOptimizer 25 bundles thirty cutting-edge tools that cover the whole spectrum of system cleaning, tuning, and optimization!

Concise or detailed: system analysis

How healthy are your hard disks and what about performance bottlenecks?

Ashampoo® WinOptimizer provides an extensive look at what's going on in your system, including your drives. Once health parameters deteriorate, you'll instantly be notified to avert disaster. Discover bottlenecks and spot potential enhancements with incredible ease. For a quick overview, check out the "Inform" dashboard. For more in-depth information, like installed hardware, drivers and codecs, visit "System Information".

Live overviews with dashboards

Always up-to-date information on all vital functions of your PC

Dashboards paint a detailed picture of your system condensed into constantly updated key figures. "Clean", "Optimize" and "Inform" always have the latest details on these vital tasks–including full feature access! Enjoy precious information neatly visualized. What's the status of the Registry? Are there superfluous services running? Is there a privacy threat? Find out all this and more with a single glance! And it gets even better: Maximize the program window for an even more in-depth view with interesting and important system details!

Find and delete unwanted browser extensions

No more unwanted or invisible browser extensions

Browsers are not only your window to the internet but also threatened by malicious extensions that cause slowdowns or spy on you. You're probably familiar with toolbars but chances are you're far less familiar with the numerous extensions that may live in your browser, offering little to no use but threatening performance and your privacy. Many even manage to stay hidden from browsers' installed extensions lists! Browser Extension Manager puts a stop to this. It lists all installed extensions across your browsers and gives you the choice to delete them, if needed! It only takes a single click to rid your browsers of a malicious extension and make browsing the web a little safer!

Save time and effort automatically

Eliminate junk data, declutter the Registry, and boost Windows startup times

A total of three automatic features take the major work off your shoulders! Auto-Clean not only rids your system of junk data but reduces clutter before it takes hold. As soon as you close your browser, or other application, this fully-automatic broom sweeps everything off your drives that doesn't belong, like temporary files. Live Tuner provides a smart launch boost to all applications and allows for custom fine tuning to assign different priorities to individual applications, e.g. "high" for more performance. Game Booster does exactly what its name implies: It closes unnecessary background processes non-essential to gaming while your game is running to give your game a boost and restarts them when you're done playing so you can get back to work.

Set up a maintenance schedule and let the program work its magic!

Schedule and auto-execute various tasks with ease

For over a decade, customers have been in love with WinOptimizer's 1-Click Optimizer and system maintenance modules. WinOptimizer finds and eliminates web browsing traces, hidden junk files and superfluous Registry entries with ease, and optimizes system settings. But, cross your heart, do you remember to run these modules regularly? That's why we've added a handy task scheduler to have WinOptimizer auto-run them for you at customizable intervals. Keep your PC in tip-top shape, permanently!
