Award Utilities is a comprehensive and user-friendly program that comes packed with a multitude of handy features to help you scan the computer for junk, fragmented and history files, find duplicated records and fix broken shortcuts, as well as optimize the overall system and memory performance.

It offers an accessible and intuitive interface that organizes all the functions into distinct categories and provides graphical reports where is necessary. The app also includes a file shredder, splitter, along with an executable password protector and deleted items recovery.

The scan might take a while depending on how full your disk is, and once it's completed it displays the difference between cleaning and after.

Following is the system optimization that offers the option to look for duplicated files in particular locations, based on a few criteria, such as same name and size, creation, written or last accessed time, and specific file formats. Plus, you can scan for broken or misplaced shortcuts and delete outdated or unwanted ones.

The memory optimizer comes with four distinct tabs, such as memory information, where you can view the total, available and used capacity, CPU that monitors the processor activity, and optimization and program settings.

You have the options to schedule an auto shutdown at a particular hour and set a user and password to cancel the process, along with startup programs management and system control. Other worth mentioning features are process and uninstall managers, system information, Windows tools, as well as deleted records retrieval, file shredder and splitter and password protection for specific executables.

Overall, Award Utilities is a reliable and intuitive utility that comes bundled with a multitude of options enclosed into a straightforward interface.
