Automated computer tuneup

[Metanis]

Used Tron in full auto mode on a Win 8.1 HP laptop yesterday that I was going to manually update to Win10. It worked great.

I realized this is old thread but I was searching for automated tuneup tools. never heard of tron until now. Might be using it.

I hadn't heard of Tron before. And since I like and often use Open-Source software then I'll give it a go.

More later.

I was going to give it a go, until I read item 4 in the Instructions:

Wait anywhere from 3-10 hours (yes, it really takes that long; no, do not cancel it in the middle of it running)

A long time to wait for something to happen!
And if it doesn't, do you start over? Use the tools you had before? Drink more beer?

there's probably a full defrag in there taking up 9 hours

Tron has many switches so you can disable things like the defrag.

Windows default is full defrag weekly and Tron hits the HDD again. I haven't seen a disk with fragmentation in years.

I have never used nor will I ever use any program that will "automatically tunes up"a computer (except, of course for Windows 10 Update <grin>)

lol nice. I agree with this. I find the manual way of doing this stuff is a sure-fire way of doing it correctly. But to each their own.

I know this is an old post but it seems pretty neat. Has anyone ever tried this on Windows 10?

 

[NviGate Systems]

Yeah it works in Windows 10.

Commandline switches are cool but I think he should create a small GUI in HTA for ease of use.

I tried it when it first came out and it took over 10 hours on some pc's. Even when I disabled a lot of things, it still took 4-5 hours and then about another hour to verify it did everything and clean up things it missed. I can do it just as fast with smaller automated steps using something like UVK and be sure it is done right.

 

[drahcir_16]

Wow, 3-10 hours, that sure takes a very long time. I suppose it's going to be a bit of a hassle running this remotely.
Does it have any known issues that would cause something like blue screen or anything like that?

 

[NviGate Systems]

The other thing I am not sure about is whether Tron is licensed for Commercial Use. I know specifically that the Malwarebytes that is offered has been approved by the vendor for home use and only if the users initiate and select items to clean. As for the other tools, they may have license that restricts them to home use.

For those who want to keep shirts white.

Never heard of this one before, but plan to check it out soon. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I feel the same way.

Thank you. I feel the same way.

The last post here was quite old. My thoughts on this are you could be much more efficient, especially at scale with automation. But you certainly should understand what is being automated first. The mindset of "automation is bad" seems rather nearsighted.
