If you're looking for a PC manager for Windows 10 that is completely free and focuses on monitoring and optimizing performance, Essential PC Manager is a viable option.

Since you mentioned that basic cleanup hasn't made much difference, your slowdown may be coming from something other than just junk files. Essential PC Manager could help you identify whether specific applications are consuming excessive system resources. If you find that no single app is dominating your CPU or RAM, then your issue is likely disk-related (storage clutter, fragmented HDD, or system file corruption), which Essential PC Manager cannot address.

For a complete PC manager for Windows 10 that handles both resource monitoring and disk cleanup, consider pairing Essential PC Manager with a dedicated disk cleaner.

Tips:

View and terminate resource-intensive apps – Identify and kill the top 20 RAM-consuming applications

View and kill top 20 CPU-consuming apps – Identify processes placing the highest demand on your CPU

Monitor RAM and CPU usage by app – Real-time data for each running application

PC information display – View processor specifications, installed memory, storage capacity, and more
