For example, if you regularly use your PC to play CDs and DVDs, then disabling autoplay might be more of an annoyance than a help, and if you’re fond of Windows’ translucent interface elements, you’ll be disappointed to see them turned opaque.

These all have the potential to boost your PC’s speed a little, but it’s worth taking a look through before clicking ‘Optimize’. There’s also ‘Deep optimization’, which sounds a little vague but includes features like disabling autoplay for removable devices, preventing automatic creation of system error logs, and optimizing the appearance of Windows menus and lists to optimize system performance.

These include: Turbo Boost, which stops unnecessary apps and services, with dedicated options for work, gaming and ‘economy’ Hardware Accelerate, which checks for outdated drivers and App/Toolbar cleaner, which clears up potentially unwanted clutter from your browser. In addition to its system cleanup utilities, IObit Advanced SystemCare 12 Pro also offers a range of tools to optimize your PC’s performance. The choice is yours – provided you know where to find it. Alternatively, you can opt for an even deeper clean, erasing saved passwords and saved form information as well. For example, if Chrome is your regular browser, you can choose to keep cookies, typed URLs and history for convenience, while wiping them in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Thankfully, this issue can be solved by a quick dive into Advanced SystemCare 12 Pro’s settings, where you can choose exactly what is picked up in a scan. That means you either remove your entire browsing history (including typed URLs and browsing sessions) for all your browsers, or keep everything. Unfortunately, although you can choose to keep or remove specific tracking cookies and broken shortcuts, you can’t choose to keep specific files identified as ‘Privacy traces’ and ‘Junk files’. You can access extra information about all the items found by selecting a category. IObit Advanced SystemCare 12 Pro does a good job of balancing transparency and clarity. It’s also possible to shut down or restart your PC after issues have been fixed, or set it to sleep or hibernate (though the cleanup process is typically quite fast). You can choose to automatically fix any issues identified, but by default this option is deselected, meaning you can review everything first and deselect anything you’d rather leave alone (like your browser download history, for example). It works brilliantly if you’re pressed for time or don’t feel confident dealing with more advanced options, but if you’re feeling confident you can also choose to defrag the registry and perform various quick fixes including disk optimization and internet boost.

System cleanupĪt its most straightforward, IObit Advanced SystemCare 12 Pro offers a one-click optimization scan that will check for common issues including junk files, broken shortcuts, spyware and broken registry entries. You’ll also notice a status notification on the program’s desktop icon letting you know whether it’s time to run a scan. You might not need that information frequently, but the widget is very discreet and it’s a great way to see the effect of certain programs on your PC’s performance – and the difference made by running IObit Advanced SystemCare’s Pro various optimization tools. When running, IObit Advanced SystemCare 12 Pro will put a small widget at the top right of your screen (which you can reposition or close) showing your system’s current RAM and CPU usage. It only appears if you hover over an item, and if you click it no text appears.

For example, the small ‘i’, which you can hover over for more information about a feature, is very small and a similar dark blue to the surrounding window. Our only complaint about the interface is that some elements can be tricky to see due to being a similar color to the background.
