Turn Windows into a well-behaved companion—no subscription, no telemetry, just performance.
Most Windows cleaners treat your system like a garbage truck—they haul debris away once a month. This repository reimagines optimization as a daily ritual. Windows-Optimizer is a modular, rule-based engine that learns your usage patterns and preemptively sweeps digital dust before it accumulates. Think of it as a butler who anticipates messes, not a janitor who cleans them.

Windows 7 and 8.1 are not supported due to missing API endpoints for modern analytics.
This repository includes an optional AI Advisor Module that connects to either:
- OpenAI GPT-4o – for deep system behavior analysis
- Claude 3.5 Sonnet – for natural-language optimization suggestions
How it works:
- The tool samples your current system state (running processes, disk fragmentation, startup entropy).
- Sends a anonymized, compressed report to the chosen API.
- Returns a human-readable action plan—e.g., “Your pagefile is 3x too large. Suggest reduce to 4096MB. Your prefetch directory has 847 stale entries.”
Privacy guarantee: No filenames, user documents, or personally identifiable information is transmitted. The AI only sees file sizes, registry key categories, and service names.
Setup example (inside config.ini):
[ai_advisor]
provider = claude
api_key = your_key_here
auto_apply_safe = false
report_language = en
The interface and report engine are localizable via INI files. Currently supported:

- UI Philosophy: The tool runs three modes: CLI (headless), WPF (desktop), and a lightweight HTTP dashboard (accessible from mobile browser).
- Responsive Layout: The dashboard collapses to a single column on 480px screens, with touch-friendly buttons.
- Support Channel: A dedicated Discord bridge and email ticketing system is maintained for verified users. Average response time: < 4 hours during CET business hours.
This repository will be actively maintained through December 2026. Updates include:
- Windows 11 25H2 compatibility patches
- New tweak database entries every quarter
- Crowdsourced junk file signatures (community-contributed)
- Performance benchmark comparisons with previous Windows versions
You assume full responsibility for any changes made by this software. While every tweak, cleanup routine, and profile has been tested across 50+ hardware configurations, we cannot guarantee compatibility with every third-party application, registry customization, or corporate lockdown policy.
- Always run with
--dry-runbefore first execution. - Create a system restore point manually.
- The AI Advisor module is a suggestion engine, not a decision maker.
