It found 32 drivers to update across audio, Bluetooth, biometric and more (152 were up to date). Note that the Professional version allows you to schedule cleaning, while SmartCleaning will automatically clean when you hit a certain amount of junk (500MB by default).ĭriver Update does what it says and aims to make sure everything is up to date and therefore running as well as it can be.

In total, CCleaner was able to free up 3.09GB of space. So, removing them could slow down certain things.

Again, this took a matter of seconds (2.79 according to the application) and found 1.9GB to remove mainly cache files and, although that’s a good amount of space to free up, remember that cache files are there to make things like web browsing faster. There’s a Custom Clean option which can analyse Windows and Applications. You can select which junk to remove, but only in groups of different types like Recycle Bin, Temporary Application Files and Temporary System Files. That doesnt mean that Speccy is meritless it has an intuitive interface and the snapshot feature is useful for revisting data captured at a particular time.

On my test laptop, the search found 7,371 trackers, 792MB of junk and a single app to update – Audacity in this case. System Utilities downloads - Ccleaner Business Edition by Piriform Ltd and many more programs are available.
