Enhanso Free

If you want to optimize the speed of your computer without upgrading its hardware components or asking your tech-savvy friends to tinker with its most hidden settings, you can first try a handy app called Enhanso Free.

When you run the application for the first time, it automatically creates a restore point, thus making it easy for you to restore it with a single click if anything goes wrong with the tweaks you apply later on.

Before getting to optimize the performance of your PC, you get a detailed overview of the information related to your hardware components, such as processor, mainboard, memory, display adapter, SPD and sensors. You can also take a look at the processes and services currently running on your computer, then stop the ones you no longer need or that slow down your PC.

Due to Enhanso Free, you can effortlessly examine the status of your Windows registry, and you get to select the type of entries you are interested in. In other words, you can identify invalid ActiveX, DLL or COM objects, file extensions, shared files and assemblies, paths or fonts.

Once the analysis is complete, you can delete the invalid or broken entries with a single mouse click; alternatively, you can backup the current Windows registry, yet you need to keep in mind that it might take several minutes until it completes (during this time, your PC might be slowed down or become unresponsive).

Enhanso Free allows you to customize the Control Panel by disabling some of its items, so they are no longer accessible to other people using the computer.

The CPU and input/output cache values can be adjusted to your liking, as well as customize the startup and shutdown speeds. The visual effects can be disabled without any hassle, thus increasing up the overall speed of the PC.

Enhanso Free can provide with a nice range of tweaks and improvements that can be applied even if you are not a computer expert. If you are pleased with feature-set and you want even more functions, you can try Enhanso Pro.
