Like many other things they've done in their illustrious past.

Still worth checking out, if only for the humor value.

Well it was touted on another thread as a replacement for CCleaner, that it isn't unless also comes with Malware? Doesn't do anything I can't do already other than point out not having Edge as default browser is a security issue, what a load of (insert appropriate expletive). Sneaky way of making the gullible change to Edge to bump up the number of users.......

Par for the course with them. Not the first time, and not gonna be the last either.

I will wait to see how long before this program last, i have tested it & uninstalled it because it is new and want to see how more people respond after running, i was not impressed !

I wonder if this will get integrated into the new Microsoft Defender...

The boost button claims it cleared 2.8 GB of temp files in under a second. Now, I know I have decently fast equipment, but seriously?

It has minor promise as a one stop place to get all kinds of different things done, but this is obviously aimed at the novice computer user with a "Set it and forget it" mindset.

Meh.

To those who intend to use the app, a word of caution and this has been confirmed by another user.
If you have changed your Hosts file to block advertisers or others, this will wipe out your file to a reset status.
File is in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\etc The file has no extension.
If you haven't not configured your Hosts file, this should not matter to you.

I am not installing from the above link

In this case you can use

Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.3) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50]

Online link generator for Microsoft Store. You can use it to get links to almost all apps, games, themes from the Microsoft Store.

And why does it go into the services?

Don't really see what the value equation is for this app. Hope MS don't make it a part of Windows and force it on to everyone.

The Chinese site does not install the program (for me), but it is probably safer.
You need to save the file with the extension *.Msix
I think this is a Russian site.

Perhaps in version 1.2.4 broke the localization.
