What's new

What's new.

The things that actually change for people who use TurboFix, described by what they improve. No technical lists: those are for the person writing the program. Updates arrive on their own: the app offers them when they're available, and they install from inside the app.

Latest version

Version 8.1.0

  • Buy TurboFix a coffee. Anyone who wants to support the project can now find out how on the website and inside the program, with a code to scan and an address to copy. It stays voluntary and changes nothing for those who don't: the program is and remains free, with every feature.
  • The health score is fairer, and adjustable. The weights were revised so it stops raising alarms over things that don't really matter, and the seven areas that make it up can be chosen one by one: if you don't use the backup, you can leave the backup out of the count.
  • The assistant follows the conversation better. When it says it's about to list something, it now actually lists it; a short follow-up like “which ones?” no longer restarts the conversation from scratch; and whatever an operation failed to do is reported even when the rest went fine.

Before this one

What has improved.

The latest updates, grouped by topic rather than one by one. If you have the program, you already have them: they arrive on their own.

Recovering deleted files

Getting back a file thrown away by mistake has become a feature of its own, with a preview before you proceed. Results come sorted by type, the search also covers USB sticks and memory cards, and the recoverable formats now extend to photos from digital cameras. Only files that will actually come back appear in the list: the ones that wouldn't are never promised.

Backup and restore points

The scheduled backup restarts on its own even when Windows missed the appointment. Restore points are created and deleted more reliably, including on computers where system protection had been left off.

Guides and the hard words

Step-by-step walkthroughs have arrived for the most common problems, from a slow PC to a printer that won't print, along with a glossary that explains technical terms in everyday words. In the settings you can enlarge the text and raise the contrast.

Updates and installation

The update shows up even with the window closed, starts on the first try and, if something goes wrong, says so instead of staying silent. Removing the program is one click from the settings, leaving nothing behind, and it works even right after an automatic update.

The numbers the program shows

Several fixes share the same thread: what appears on screen has to be what was measured. Free space is the real figure, every disk shows up with its drive letter, the Windows version is the same everywhere, and the memory of an 8 GB computer is no longer judged to be at its limit.

The look

The left-hand menu has a color of its own and the open section lights up, so you can tell where you are at a glance. The screens are sharper and also tell you what has changed in the computer, not just how it is right now.

Further back.

The main things that came earlier, told by period. Only worth opening if you're curious where the program comes from.

The license, the look and the sensors

The interface was rebuilt from top to bottom, temperatures and fans started working again, and the menu got shorter while the settings were put in order. In this period the license became mandatory, free and lifetime, and stopped getting lost. The assistant started doing things, not just explaining them, and the cleanup gained new categories.

The assistant, the history and the reviews

The assistant and the PC history were born: from then on the PC is remembered, not just measured, and the assistant became the opening screen. Reviews written from inside the program arrived, along with search across the whole app, the tab on what has changed in the computer, and the tools for finding large files and duplicates.

The first steps

From the first public release onward: the at-a-glance screen, health over time, game mode, the live sensor monitor, PDF reports, full backup and the icon next to the clock. In this period the program learned English alongside Italian, and stopped keeping you waiting when it opened.
