About Microsoft PC Manager

Microsoft PC Manager gathers common maintenance tasks for Windows 10 and 11 in one app. It can clean up temporary files, find large files, turn on Storage Sense, reduce app pop-ups and ads, and run a health checkup that looks for problems and threats.

A toolbox and mini toolbar give quick access to built-in Windows tools. It suits people who want a simple, first-party alternative to third-party cleaner apps. It requires Windows 10 version 19042 or later, or Windows 11.
