Your PC (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) meets the official system requirements for Windows 11. However, modern Windows can often use 6-7GB of RAM just for the operating system, leaving very little for your own apps . The cleanup and startup management above will help significantly. If you find that the system still lags heavily when you open a web browser and a document, it is likely due to the 8GB RAM limit.

If you still insist on needing a Windows 11 computer optimizer. Winslopr might be able to be of assistance to you. That is a free, open-source utility specifically designed to remove the junk that slows down Windows 11—ads, telemetry, AI features (like Copilot) that run in the background eating up your 8GB of RAM, and preinstalled bloatware.

On the other hand. Excluding Windows 11 Computer Optimizer, the bloatware removal tool is particularly useful for you. It scans all the preinstalled Windows apps and lets you remove selected ones with checkboxes—no command line, no complicated scripting.
