1. Look at the PC status

The opening screen shows the computer's health score and the main measurements: processor, memory, disk. Check now does the full round with one click.

2. Free up space with the cleanup

In the Free up space section you choose what to remove (temporary files, caches, Recycle Bin) and press Clean. Nothing is touched without confirmation.

3. The rest, when you need it

Diagnostics, startup programs, restore points, guides for the Windows checks: they're there when you need them. The ones that can change something always ask for confirmation before starting.

A tip

Before delicate operations it's worth creating a restore point (Restore points section): you can always go back.

It takes a while to open the first time

That's the antivirus checking the file for the first time. With the lightweight Setup the wait is minimal; after the first launch it starts right away.

The update won't start

Check that you're connected to the internet. TurboFix checks for updates at startup and from Settings → Updates. If the website can't be reached, it simply reports nothing.

If it still won't start after these checks, there's no need to uninstall anything: download the program (11 MB) and install it over the existing version. It's the same installer as on the website: it brings the .NET 8 Desktop runtime along if it's missing, and leaves your license, settings and PC history where they are.

A feature asks for administrator permission

That's correct: maintenance operations require elevated privileges. Grant them only if TurboFix was downloaded from the official website.

I selected something by mistake in the cleanup

TurboFix touches nothing without confirmation. Before delicate operations, create a restore point (Restore points section).
