Automatic tuning with "PC Check"
The "PC Check" section is the central area of the program for analyzing your PC and solving the identified problems in one step. PC Check & Tuning now recognizes potential problems and optimization possibilities more intelligently.
Check PC
with the "Check PC" function checks your PC for possible problems and errors. In addition drivers and software are checked for updates. The results are displayed after several seconds in a report, and suitable solutions are also suggested. Individual test results are visualized as traffic lights.
Fix all problems
The red light shows where maintenance or optimizations have to be conducted. The button "Fix all problems" bundles the individual activities and carries them out in a single step. Bring your system back up to scratch - in just a click. Using "Settings" you can customize the maintenance set, by specifying which optimizations should be included in automatic tuning.
PC Live
Permanently monitors your system and thus ensures performance and stability.
Just as a virus scanner protects against virus attacks, MAGIX PC Live protects your PC against reduction in PC performance, without even having to open the main program.
PC Live monitors non-stop in the background while you work and gives you a feeling of security. You will be informed in case of problems or if updates are available for one of your programs.
The PC Live cockpit keeps you updated on the most important system files and also allows you to activate high-speed mode at any time.
System start analysis
During system startup, programs are automatically preloaded so that they can be started faster later on. Usually, however, not all of these applications are used. They slow down system start unnecessarily and affect system performance.
PC Check & Tuning displays which programs run at system startup, how long they need to start and assesses their importance by using other users' experiences. You can locate system start brakes and disable them as desired, or you can let PC Check & Tuning select these settings automatically.
They speed up computer start up significantly in any case.
