New Windows apps
Currently available as a beta program, Microsoft PC Manager is a new application that resembles CCleaner and other cleaning and boosting programs for Windows.
Like many Microsoft apps, it is not the best of its kind, at least not in its beta state. It includes useful functionality, however, such as the ability to free up RAM, run a system security scan, or free up disk space by removing temporary files from the system.
An official port of the disk space analyzer. The free version scans drives on the Windows PC and displays information about the folders and files that take up disk space on it.
It is a good program to free up disk space, as it may point you to files and folders on the drive that take up a lot of space and may not be needed anymore.
United Sets enables users to group program windows to create a tabbed interface for better manageability. The app supports snap layouts on Windows 11 and requires the .NET desktop runtime.
