Update - After closing Firefox I ran the MS app again, it didn't clear the Firefox Caches, Session information, or Site preferences at all. Hitting that 'Poceed' button the app says it's cleaned those listed items.įirefox is still running so it's cache hasn't been cleared, is it just cleaning Edge? (I'll see what it does when I close FFx later).Ī quick analyze with CCleaner finds 18 Windows logfiles that the MS app didn't clean. So I suspect that it will suggest turning off Malwarebytes/Malwarebytes Service too. Not sure if it would say the same about Malwarbytes itself? (Obviously I'm not running that or MBAE wouldn't be running).Įdit - A friend who has also tried it shows that it suggests turning off her RTP, Sandbox, and VM. Perhaps more interestingly for this forum it also suggests that I should disable Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit beta which I have running on this machine. So people will still want to use 3rd party cleaners that clear out what MS doesn't.įor instance it includes a setting to force Edge to be the default Browser, if you set that then when you try make another browser your default it will just switch it back to Edge.Įdit- see the post below, it looks that with a bit of further digging in the options you can set that for Chrome or Firefox too. Of course MS are still going to only clean the same they do already, and leave behind the things that MS wants there for their own purposes.

The point is obviously that they want to disrupt the 3rd party cleaner market so that MS can then decide/dictate what stays on your machine or not. They could have just as easily put it all on one page in the settings menu rather than creating an app. I'm still evaluating it, but from what I can see so far there is nothing new in it, it is just collecting already existing MS tools into one UI.

You can download it here (The download page is in Chinese but the app installs in English):

I already have the new MS PC Manager installed on this laptop.
