WinOptimizer-26 for up to 3 devices

A better Windows on three PCs at once
If you use Ashampoo® WinOptimizer privately, you can equip 3 of your computers with one license! Buy just one license and your whole family will benefit from a lean, fast and secure Windows! For commercial use only: one license per device.

Completely new cleaner with more power and efficiency

The hard disk cleaner for noticeably more hard disk space
With completely new technical principles and algorithms, the popular cleaners are on average 50% faster and more effective! WinOptimizer has never had such an increase! Whether Drive Cleaner, Registry Cleaner or Internet Cleaner, the cleaners literally race over your hard disks and catch more data garbage than ever before. Even older systems benefit from the new performance, buttery smooth animations, less memory usage and new context menus. And of course the cleaners are perfectly adapted for all supported operating systems, setups and current browsers!

A new dimension of deep cleaning thanks to WinOptimizer-26

Less data garbage, installation remnants and cache files on your hard disk
With the advanced deep cleaning, the hunt for data garbage goes into a new round and solves data protection and display problems along the way! Delete old Windows versions, backup copies of updates or Windows statistics about your personal data usage! Solve rendering problems of your games by clearing the DirectX shader cache of Windows. Your Explorer displays content strangely? Clear its cache and gain considerable disk space by the way! No less than 8 powerful new options give you maximum possibilities!

Less can be more!

Clean up the Windows registry and much more with clarity and multi-core power
In Cleaners, we've streamlined the interfaces so you can now see everything important at a glance. Collapsible categories reveal their details only when requested and clicked, and new context menus ensure that right-clicking is always worthwhile! A higher-level search reliably returns results across all categories, and running processes can be canceled at any time. The Registry Cleaner, for example, makes full use of your system's multicore for the first time, handling even large lists and statistics with ease. You will notice the difference immediately!

The best cookie management for all cases - and browsers!

Clean up and manage cookies with the best cookie module for Windows.
It has never been so important to have a good cookie management. Because as useful and convenient as cookies are, they also pose a risk to your privacy. The brand new Cookie Management offers the solution here, cross-browser! Display all cookies and double-click to determine which ones are safe and should not be deleted. Assign placeholders and thus release cookies of an entire domain or add pages manually, your changes will then apply to all browsers. And if you change your computer, for example, you can also export or import this list!

WinOptimizer-26 is also perfect for Windows 11!

MS Windows 11 came out after the last Ashampoo WinOptimizer, so high time to dive completely into the new operating system! With perfectly customized buttons, icons and dialogs, the program almost merges with Windows 11. Hundreds of buttons have been tested and re-integrated, so you can customize the look and behavior of the new Windows. You can disable widgets, change the appearance of the much-discussed taskbar, configure Explorer differently, and much more! Make Windows 11 your system, according to your rules! And of course, you can do all this with Windows 7 and Windows 10 too!

A stylish welcome

System analysis and hardware information in the most modern Windows look
Customer request No. 1 first: The CPU speedometer is back! And it has been made even more visually chic to keep up with the rest of the home page's tile design. Because never before WinOptimizer looked so valuable serious and modern at the same time! The animations are subtle, because the system analysis wants to inform, not distract. More contrast makes reading easier, modern Microsoft Windows Aero Snap support allows docking and scaling windows. Enjoy the high-quality control center of your computer, which always displays the latest hardware information!

The "second row" first-class improved

Beyond cleaning and quick optimization, the software offers modules that other companies would probably sell as standalone applications. The Process Manager, which keeps track of all the system's processes, or the UnInstall Manager, which provides valuable information about installed programs, are good examples. In an unprecedented detail work, these modules were also accelerated, made clearer or extended by useful functions. Together with new design in Icon Saver and System Restore Manager or easier handling in File Wiper, which securely deletes sensitive data, you'll find over 30 brand new, first-class modules for virtually any purpose!

More data protection for Windows 11, 10 and 7

Disable Windows telemetry, turn off Cortana and never share passwords? No problem!
Everything you need to protect your privacy is in the new Privacy Manager. This module combines the strengths of the popular AntiSpy and Windows 10 Privacy, and adds new features like disabling controversial telemetry. Is Windows allowed to share your passwords? Should Cortana analyze your handwriting? That's for you to decide! Thirteen comprehensive categories give you all-around protection from overly permissive apps and Windows components. And although Privacy Manager is only one of many modules in WinOptimizer, you can intervene in the system in 73 important places!

The perfect system start with Boot Center thanks to WinOptimizer-26

Speed up system startup, find brakes and disable performance hogs
What happens when a computer starts, which programs and tasks start - and doesn't it go faster? Boot Center shows you in detail how long system startup takes, where delays occur and which processes are to blame. Take a look at the programs in Autostart and disable unnecessary programs, even native apps! In the Tasks section, all Windows tasks are clearly displayed for the first time, including orphaned tasks, such as from uninstalled software, if desired. Relax and remove what is not needed and speed up the system startup and thus your Windows!

Full throttle into system optimization

Eight optimizers combined in one module for every area of the operating system
Even the start shows you the full power of Ashampoo WinOptimizer's optimization capabilities! No less than eight major problem areas of Windows can be analyzed in depth with a single mouse click and then solved immediately. Whether it's sweeping data junk like browser traces from your hard drive, deleting unnecessary registry entries, shortcuts or services - the comprehensive analysis makes your Windows faster, leaner and more secure. Optimize security settings, system settings, autostart and empty the recycle bin with one click! With a cleaner system startup and more free memory, your computer will simply run better and faster.

If the health values of your hard disks change, you will be warned immediately and can act in time. Easily detect bottlenecks and sources of errors on your system and find potential for improvement. If you want to get a general overview, it is worth taking a look at the "Inform" dashboard.

Live overview with dashboards

Always up-to-date values for the most important functions of all areas of your PC

Under Clean Up, Optimize and Inform you get current overviews of the most important data in these areas - and have the fastest access to details and functions!

Detect and delete unwanted browser extensions

Never again unwanted or invisible extensions in your browser.
The browser is not only your window to the Internet, it is also threatened by extensions that slow it down or spy on data. Everyone knows about toolbars, less known are the countless extensions that have no real benefit for you, but threaten performance and privacy. Many are not even shown by browsers as installed and are therefore invisible to them! Browser Extension Manager puts an end to this without compromise. You can see all extensions installed on your browsers without exception and then decide for yourself! Which extension do you need, where are unknown or unwanted extensions? With one click, unnecessary extensions are deleted and your browser is a good bit cleaner again!

Automatically save time and effort with WinOptimizer-26

Automaticallyremove data junk, clean up the registry and speed up Windows.
With three automatic functions WinOptimizer takes them a lot of work! Simply activate and go! With Auto-Clean the data garbage is not only cleaned - it does not arise in the first place. When you close your browser or any other program, the automatic sweeper whirls all leftovers like temporary files from the hard disk. Live Tuner cleverly speeds up application launches and can also be customized to give applications special priority (and thus more performance). The Game Booster closes everything the system doesn't need for gaming, so full power to the game! Especially when resources are scarce, this is a huge advantage! When you quit the game, all background services are restarted and you can continue working normally.

Simply create maintenance plans - and you're up and running!

Schedule tasks clearly and then let them run at will
For more than a decade, customers have valued One Click Optimizer and System Maintenance as indispensable cleaning and maintenance modules. Thus, WinOptimizer finds surfing traces, hidden data garbage, unnecessary registry entries and system settings that need to be improved. But who always remembers to run these functions regularly? With the handy task scheduler, you can have these functions run automatically at freely selectable intervals. Get your computer in top shape easily!
