Microsoft just released a new version of PC Manager, the free tuning tool for optimizing Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems.
PC Manager 3.14 now allows you to view your internet speed on the desktop directly in the Windows taskbar. This means you can see how fast you’re surfing in real time, as reported by Window Latest, and you’re able to see both downstream and upstream speeds.
Microsoft has also added a new algorithm for freeing up storage space that’s taken up by files that are no longer required. This improvement makes PC Manager better able to recognize and remove both temporary files and otherwise unneeded files more quickly.
Also new with this update to PC Manager is the ability to integrate PC Manager into Windows 11 Widgets. (If you aren’t using Widgets yet, you should really consider it. They’re a great way to access a wealth of information with a single keystroke, and one of the most overlooked Windows 11 features actually worth trying.)
We’re really pleased with PC Manager and consider it a must-have app for regular PC maintenance. Check out our guide to using PC Manager for a digital spring cleaning and reclaim all kinds of storage space you didn’t even know you had available.
