The user gets a clear picture of how the hard drive is working and how its performance can be optimized through targeted measures. O&O VisualDisk helps you understand how O&O Defrag can get the most out of a hard drive and protect it from unnecessary wear and tear – for a long-lasting and fast PC New: O&O StartupManager Remove unnecessary ballast at startup The new O&O StartupManager offers a clear overview of all programs, tasks and services that are automatically executed when Windows starts. With detailed information about each program – including the impact on the system’s startup time – it is easy to decide which programs should be activated or deactivated. Unnecessary applications are marked as such and can be deactivated with a mouse click. Defective startup entries are also detected and can be deleted.
