However, “Open online overview” took me to a web page in German, even though everything else on my system is in English. “Update programs” did identify an available update for one of the installed programs. “Clean” (Internet traces) took only ten or so seconds to fix. Similarly, “Fix All Problems” took about thirty seconds to find a few problems and to get me to “all problems resolved.” On the home screen “PC Check” took about a minute and a half to check things. The top-level bar offers utilities by function-category: PC Check Increase Performance Free Up Memory Performance Check Configure Windows and Info – My PC. (For expanded views of screen shots at right, please click on the images.) On my test machine, though, Magix PC Check did its thing quickly enough. Key features include “one-click” check and optimization driver and software update live system monitoring a high-speed mode a performance check and a hard disk and Internet “traces” cleaner.Īlso on the list are hard drive defrag registry cleanup/defrag energy-saving optimization Internet “tuning ” system start optimization and optimization of Windows design/settings, including “hidden” Windows settingsĪlthough this suite is not currently available directly from the Magix site, you can find it on places like Amazon.įor this review, I performed some basic testing on a three-plus-year-old Lenovo ThinkPad 3000 G530 notebook with an Intel Core Duo (64-bit), 3GB RAM, running Windows 8 Pro (migrated from Windows Vista).īecause I haven’t used this machine that much since migrating it to Windows 8 Pro - not to mention just having used it for a review of WinZip System Utilitiea Suite - there wasn’t much for Magix to find or do.
#MAGIX 64 BIT#
The suite supports both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 and Vista, and 32-bit versions of Windows XP. Magix PC Check & Tuning 2013 is a suite of performance/reliability utilities for a Windows PC. One example is the widely used Magix PC Check & Tuning. That’s a lot of effort.Īnother solution is to turn to one of the many “Swiss Army knife” utility suites available for reasonable one-time or annual prices.
#MAGIX INSTALL#
However, this approach means that you have to figure out what functions you want, and then find, select, and install a bunch of stuff. Also, these built-in tools don’t necessarily do things well in terms of either execution or user interface.įree and low-cost individual third-party software utilities are available to do many of these tasks. Windows includes some utilities to tidy up and to keep an eye on hardware and software health, but not necessarily for all the things that need cleanup.
