WinExt Review by
4.0/5

Keeping your PC's registry, system, corresponding files, and folders organized becomes easier when aided by third-party solutions. WinExt is an app capable of performing registry scans, locating and removing duplicate files to free up space, identifying large resources to help you figure out what's taking up so much space, monitoring directories for file operations, and much more.

Wrapped in a clean and intuitive interface, the program has its options neatly organized in different areas, so you can quickly access the registry scanner, identify duplicates, perform batch operations, or, sync files.

The latest iteration of WinExt comes equipped with tools that can help you easily determine your PC's health status, and take action to improve it. The neatly organized registry scanner will allow you to run scans and preview the identified issues, and, if you choose so, to fix them, either individually, or as multiple selections.

The system and privacy sub-modules of the "Clean" module are also a great addition to the app's feature set, as they enable users an even deeper insight into the status of their system, as well as the privacy levels that result from their current settings.

Intricate details can be added about the file searching procedure. For example, you can ask WinExt to look into specific drives or folders or to search the entire hard disk. Moreover, filters can be established for the file size and type.

On scan completion, the tool reveals the total scanned objects and found duplicates, duration, and other data. It's possible to save results to file, send items to the Recycle Bin or just move them to a different place, and inspect file properties.

The sizes section displays the dimensions of all drives, directories, and files. After scanning all items, the largest ones are surfaced, giving you the opportunity to analyze them and figure out whether or not they're worth keeping.

The recent area is filled with information surrounding the last accessed files, including name, full path, size, access times, type, and date of last modification. If you're not sharing your PC with someone else, this feature of WinExt can help you find out what files are being accessed by Windows. Speaking of Windows, its activity can be examined to see what and where files are being created, edited, or deleted.

Certain types of operations can be performed in batch with the help of WinExt. For example, you can send items to the Recycle Bin, permanently remove them from the computer, and copy or files to a common location.

The sync feature comes in handy for moving files back and forth between two folders until the folder contents are identical. This action can be made once (manually) or recurring (automatically, at a fixed time-frequency).

Scan operations were quickly performed in our tests on Windows 10. However, WinExt failed on many occasions to correctly identify duplicate files, returning empty results pages instead. Also, it was stuck in loading mode for a very long time after accessing the activity section.

What's new in WinExt 30.0 Build 099:

  • Features / Improvements:
  • Important (I): to ensure all results are 100% accurate, we changed the default comparing method to "Full comparison" for big files (Duplicates).
  • I: the lists no longer flicker when performing the time-consuming operations, such as adding, deleting, moving, filtering, loading, checking, etc.
  • Fully controls the availability of all UI elements when scanning (Duplicates).
