Fixdows

Even though Windows is a relatively stable operating system, sometimes it can make you face various small, but irritating problems that eat time and energy. Since there are dozens of known common issues, it may be a good idea to use a dedicated tool for identifying and dealing with them.

Fixdows is a lightweight utility designed to address some of the common issues you are likely to encounter with your Windows.

The app is available in both a portable and setup version, so select the first one if you do not like installing extra programs on your system. The app comes with a simple and user-friendly interface that contains several tabs, each addressing a category of common issues.

As the name suggests, the Reset Windows Update tab has the role of checking for problems that may be preventing you from correctly installing the new updates for Windows. Simply put, it resets the update components, removes associated group policies and restarts the services. The app can also help you fix common problems with Microsoft Store, such as not being able to add new apps or receive updates, for example, using WSReset.

If you notice performance issues, stuttering and weird app behavior, then you can consider using the Integrity Checks & Fixes to determine if the OS has all the files it needs or if any are corrupt so you can address this. Lastly, the app employs the Windows' native app to help you clean storage space of junk that takes up space on your drives.

Fixdows is an intuitive application that enables you to perform quick checks on your operating system, identify potential issues and address them accordingly. The tool is straightforward and is suitable for less tech-savvy users as well.
