BoosterX helps you adjust Windows settings to your needs. The effect depends on your PC and the changes you choose.
Prepare: save your work and check recovery options.
Choose: use a quick method, the questionnaire or manual settings.
Review and verify: read the warnings, apply your selection and test what matters to you.
Why BoosterX exists
Windows runs background services, indexing, scheduled tasks and maintenance. Many of these features are useful, and their importance depends on how you use your PC.
BoosterX brings these settings together so you can decide what to keep or change. Reducing unnecessary activity may help, but disabling a feature can also affect search, connected devices or other tasks.
Prepare and inspect your system
Start with preparation and analysis
Save your work before making changes. Analysis reads the system state without applying tweaks. Its scores and bottleneck estimates are guidance, not measured FPS gains or a promise of better performance.
Estimated CPU or GPU limitations
An estimate of optimization potential
The state of supported settings
Privacy-related settings, including telemetry
Background activity and maintenance settings
Choose your path
After analysis, BoosterX lets you choose how you want to proceed:
Quick method: Optimal A starting point for your first setup. Open Optimization, enable Safe mode and choose Optimal in Quick methods. Review the selected settings before applying.
Questionnaire Answer questions about how you use your PC. BoosterX prepares a selection based on your answers; you review it and confirm application yourself.
Manual selection Choose individual settings, read their descriptions and keep the features you need.
Before applying, review the selected changes and their warnings. Remove any changes that affect features you need.
Red: particularly sensitive changes. Yellow: changes with noticeable consequences. Blue: less sensitive changes. This does not mean they are risk-free or suitable for every PC.
Apply only after reviewing the list. Some changes may require a restart or temporarily interrupt a Windows component.
A BoosterX recovery profile covers supported settings. Make sure a profile is available before changing them. It is not an image of Windows and does not back up your files.
A Windows restore point is a separate recovery option and requires System Protection to be enabled. Files deleted during cleanup cannot be recovered through a settings profile; removed apps may need to be reinstalled.
You can save profiles for later use. Cloud profile storage is available in PRO.
After applying changes, check your network, sound, Bluetooth, search and the apps you use. Restart if the selected changes require it.
Compare performance under the same conditions: the same game or task, settings and background load. Look at frame times and stability as well as average FPS. A synthetic benchmark score does not equal gaming FPS.
If something stops working, restore the relevant supported settings and check again. Use the Fixes section for a specific problem after reading its description, or contact support.
