Also, there is an option for schedule cleaning and optimization. It gives you greater flexibility.

If your system becomes too slow, only cleaning junk files won’t help. It needs some more attention. Manually, Doing it is very tough. But, Ashampoo WinOptimizer can tweak various settings and services, optimize many components and resources to bring back the performance on a Windows computer. You can set it to do this thing automatically by using the Maintenance schedule.

Maintain Privacy and Security

Ashampoo WinOptimizer has some excellent privacy and security feature. There are no antivirus features, but some tweaks can give you more control over your privacy. You can easily enable/disable Microsoft elementary reports, error reporting, remote access to your PC, WiFI sense, etc.

It also gives the option to disable location, camera, microphone, calendar, etc., access to the apps. Else, Disabling Cortana, sync, and many other things related to your privacy have made it an excellent choice.

Game Booster, Live-Tuner:

To get a boost in performance in real-time, Ashampoo WinOptimizer has Game Booster and Live-Tuner. Game booster terminates unnecessary background services while gaming.

All of them are useful in different situations.

Ashampoo WinOptimizer Review: User Interface

It has a very easy-looking UI. It also looks very modern and user-friendly. However, Its UI is a bit different than other similar software. Unlike some other PC optimization utilities, It doesn’t have a big scan button. But, It has the necessary functions to scan specific areas of your PC. You can find them on the home screen. In case you need the scan button, you can find it at the left sidebar as “Clean.”

But, This thing won’t be a problem for you. Everything else is very similar. You can easily find and use all of its features.

Another and the most excellent part is it gives you the ability to choose from Dark and Normal Mode. You can choose either according to your preference.

Overall the UI is perfect and user-friendly in terms of outlook and usability.

Ashampoo WinOptimizer Performance Review and Details:

This is the most important part of this Ashampoo WinOptimizer 19 review article. I have personally used this software for more than 10 days to determine its usability, performance, pros, and cons. This part is mostly based on my own experience.

Let’s start with the setup process. It is as usual, like other normal Windows software. You will download and install it—nothing else.

When you open this software, you will have to click on yes in the User Account Control (UAC) window every time. That may sound not very pleasant. After that, you will see the Ashampoo WinOptimizer window. The window after immediate lunch will show you the system analysis and performance improvement features. You also have a bit of flexibility to choose which window you want to see between system analysis or all modules. You can find the relevant options in the settings.

All functions worked as expected. However, If you click on the Clean button on the left sidebar, that may give you a slightly sluggish experience. Though it works without any other problem, it may be something you may not like.

Except for that thing, the Ashampoo WinOptimizer will give you an amazing experience. You can clean invalid shortcuts, junks, problematic registry entries. It also allows you to stop unnecessary background services, optimizing systems and security settings. You also can enable disable startup items.

It also allows you to uninstall any software from your PC without going to the built-in windows Uninstaller in the control panel. It can be handy in specific situations. But, It won’t give the same experience as another dedicated tool, Ashampoo Uninstaller.

Overall, the experience was great with this software except for the minor things.

Cons:

The main downside of this software is it’s not free. However, it offers a free trial, which is great. It also has a free version, but I won’t recommend it.

Apart from that thing, it has some minor things that most users may not like. You already should know it if you have read this Ashampoo WinOptimizer review. Some functions may feel a bit sluggish though it actually works without a problem.

Price:

Ashampoo WinOptimizer 19 pro has a trial version for a minimal time. However, If you want to permanently get the full experience, you will have to purchase a license. The license cost starts at $29.99 per year. You can use this license on up to 10 devices, which is great.

Ashampoo WinOptimizer Review: Final Verdict

After reading this WinOptimizer review, you may have reached your own conclusion. But, If you want my verdict, I will suggest you try its free trial first. Use it for a few days. I believe you will like it. If you want, then you can purchase a license. In fact, For some features, it can be a better choice for you. Though It totally depends on your need.

However, If you have been using Ashampoo WinOptimizer, you can put your review in the comment box.
