A PC tune-up utility is an application that digs deep into your computer and fixes trouble areas. It performs several functions, including defragmenting your PC's hard drive, repairing the incredibly problematic Windows Registry, and freeing up disk space by deleting useless and duplicate files. Some tune-up utilities perform just those basic functions, while more elaborate ones add numerous features that improve your computer in interesting ways. For example, Iolo System Mechanic cleans gunked-up PCs with its real-time system monitoring; Ashampoo offers a file-deletion tool and backup app; and AVG offers a driver updater.

We tested all the tune-up utilities in this story on a junked-up Windows 10 test bed. Note that Microsoft's operating system has many built-in tools for improving your PC's performance, though they're scattered throughout the OS (unlike the third-party tune-up utilities mentioned here).

Please note that while tune-up utilities were valuable tools in the Windows 8/7/XP eras, we now find them harder to recommend in the Windows 10 era, as the operating system lets you effectively tune-up your PC for free.

You won't spend a small fortune to begin the PC clean up process. Expect to spend roughly $20 to $50 for a standalone tune-up utility purchase or a monthly subscription. Starting prices for tune-up utilities grant between three and 10 licenses per purchase, which means you're allowed to install the software on three PCs. If you live in a household with more than three computers that you'd like to freshen up, buying licenses may cost a pretty penny. To be fair, many companies offer multi-license packages, but they can prove pricey, too. That's why you should look for a paid tune-up utility with either a high license allowance or no installation limitations; Ashampoo and AVG's offerings have generous 10-PC licenses, while Iolo lets you install its System Mechanic on as many PCs as you'd like (for non-business purposes).

Many companies offer free version of their tune-up utilities, but how that's executed varies. For example, AVG TuneUp's free version lets you tune-up your PC for 30 days before needing to whip out your bank card. That's rare. Many tune-up utilities have free versions that tell you what's wrong with your PC, but won't let you perform a clean up until you make a purchase.

Tune-up utilities frequently include other software that sweetens the purchasing deal. Some come bundled with file shredders that permanently delete your unwanted data, though there are plenty of free and paid file shredders that perform the same action. Antivirus suites, program uninstallers, and driver updaters, which sometimes come bundled in tune-up utilities, can also be purchased as standalone software from Ashampoo, AVG, and other companies. Windows 10 has file-deletion programs, but it's hidden in the system. Again, third-party tune-up utilities have the benefit of gathering everything into one central location.

We test tune-up utilities with a very specific, repeatable process. We run the Geekbench system performance tool and measure boot times on a junked-up testbed before and after running a tune-up utility to compare the computer's potency. We run each test three times and average the results.

Unfortunately, all computers get slower over time. And it can be extremely annoying to deal with at times. However, you can correct this by utilizing tune-up utilities to improve the performance of your computer and ensure it is as fast as possible.

Iolo System Mechanic has a long reputation for being one of the best computer tune-up utilities on the market for years. And it still remains one of the best on the market in 2020 and supports all versions of Windows XP and up.

Norton Computer Tune Up will make your computer run like new with its PC utilities. It supports a host of operating systems including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Mac OS.

Getting Started
Compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP PCs, TuneUp Utilities 2013 requires just an Internet connection for activating the license and receiving updates. Unlike Iolo System Mechanics 11, the Editors' Choice among paid tuneup utilities, TuneUp Utilities 2012 limits you to only three installs. The free Comodo System Utilities also lets users install the software on an unlimited number of PCs.

A huge bonus with this tool is that you pay one price to cover all PCs in your home, whereas some other utilities require you to purchase a separate license for each computer or limit the number of PCs you can cover. This makes Iolo System Mechanic an ideal choice for a family or a group of housemates.

Beginning in 2021, under a new law adopted by City Council in November and signed by Mayor Jim Kenney on December 10, 2019, many commercial property owners in Philadelphia will be required to conduct energy efficiency tuneups in their buildings.

According to numerous studies, energy efficiency tuneups should also produce energy consumption cost savings for building owners and their occupants who may be paying for the energy the building uses. Owners are advised to consult with energy efficiency professionals and to budget for the costs of the assessments and building systems adjustments. Moreover, landlords should seriously consider a review of their lease language to ensure that all parties are aware of and clear on who pays for the energy efficiency upgrades, tuneups and energy consumption at their applicable buildings.

Nonresidential buildings in Philadelphia that are 200,000 square feet or larger must submit tuneup reports to the Office of Sustainability no later than September 30, 2021. For buildings of at least 100,000 square feet and less than 200,000 square feet, the deadline is September 30, 2022. For buildings of at least 70,000 square feet and less than 100,000 square feet, the deadline is September 30, 2023. And for buildings between 50,000 square feet and 70,000 square feet, the deadline is September 30, 2024. Going forward, regularly scheduled tuneups must be performed no longer than every five years after the prior scheduled tuneup date.

Exemptions apply for buildings that already achieve high levels of energy efficiency. If a building has received a Certified Energy Star score of at least 75 within a year prior to the deadline, no tuneup is required. Alternatively, buildings receiving alternate certifications within three years of the deadline, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold (or better) certification or Net-Zero Energy Certification from the International Living Future Institute, are also exempt. Note that there are other exemptions that also apply.

In this vein, it would behoove commercial property owners in Philadelphia to begin to plan for these requirements now. If an energy efficiency specialist has not already examined the building, owners are advised to consider the retention of a specialist in 2020 and to begin the process of budgeting for the costs of conducting the tuneup and implementing the recommendations. This process will necessarily involve up-front costs.

It is possible, and even likely in many cases, that the tuneup will produce savings in utilities expenditures that eventually repay the cost of the tuneup. However, because this process must be repeated every five years, owners should plan now for the possibility that future tuneups may not always pay for themselves and consider what impact their leases have on themselves and their occupants and on who pays for the energy and the upgrades.
