Thanks. I have been using CCleaner for a long time. But off late with the latest updates, it has become somewhat clingy and nagging. Always trying to sell their PRO license.

Hope this one does a no nonsense clean up like old CClener used to do.

I was using filesync for a long time and since there were no updated versions, started using freefilesync to sync up folders from my laptop to onedrive and other external harddisks. Quite fast and like the interface.

For the people who don't know about an excellent software called Everything. It's basically a software that helps users find their files but faster. I am using this for a year now and this is absolutely great. This software has saved my ass several times

I have been using this since long time back. Works great and much much faster than the default search of windows.

Using it since 15yrs or more as windows indexing is $hit!

Which pdf compression software to use? I scan very many docs via adobe scan and often they are larger than the size allowed on various sites needing me to compress them. Adobe has a compression option but it's under premium plan which is 850 pm, yeah.

Adobe has an online compressor you can try.
It also comes with three size options.

Hi, the GitLab for Ryzen controller says Deprecated used AATU instead. But it is for x86 laptops. I am wrong or Ryzen 5600 H is not AMD64 != x86?
