Everything in Ignite PC
38 tools in four groups, plus fleet management for Enterprise. Cleaning tools list what they found before anything is removed, and tools that change settings or run repairs ask first and say what they will do. Tools without a label are in the free edition. A label names the lowest edition that includes the tool: Professional Enterprise Enterprise Plus. Compare editions.
Clean Get back the space Windows and your programs quietly eat.
Cleaner
Temporary files, caches, Windows Update leftovers, error reports and privacy traces, plus app caches (Discord, Steam, Spotify, Teams, Slack, Epic, Adobe, VS Code, Store, Xbox), GPU shader caches, the previous Windows installation and orphaned installer packages. Every file is listed before it goes.
Smart Clean
One button on the dashboard: the safe categories your edition allows, caches of any browser that is closed, and a DNS flush, with live progress and a 30-day record of what it freed.
Clutter
Empty folders left behind by uninstalled programs, and shortcuts whose target is gone.
Browser Cleaner Professional
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox, one profile at a time: cache, cookies with a keep-list, history, sessions and service worker caches. Warns when a browser is still open.
Registry Professional
Finds entries pointing at programs and files that no longer exist, plus Run and Explorer history if you ask. Every key is exported to a .reg backup you can restore from inside the app.
Large Files
Scan a drive or folder for files over 100 MB to 1 GB, sweep the Downloads folder for anything older than 30 to 365 days, or find old files anywhere. Deletes to the Recycle Bin.
Duplicates Professional
Finds identical files by content, groups them, and lets you keep one copy per group. Can also match photos that look the same even when one was resized or re-saved.
Bloatware Professional
Lists the Store apps that came with the PC, rates each one Safe, Caution or Keep, and removes the ones you tick, optionally for new user accounts too.
File Shredder Professional
Overwrites files and folders with random data (1, 3 or 7 passes) before deleting them, so ordinary undelete software cannot bring them back. On SSDs, the drive's own wear levelling means overwriting is not an absolute guarantee.
Speed Control what runs and see what it costs.
Startup
The same list Task Manager shows, with the measured impact of each program on the last boot (High, Medium, Low). Enable, disable, remove, or delay a program by two minutes so sign-in stays quick.
Boot Time
Every boot Windows has timed, from its own diagnostics log, with the change since the previous boot, slow boots marked, and the drivers, services and apps Windows blamed for slowing them.
Services Professional
Start, stop and change the startup type of Windows services, with Ignite PC's suggestions for the ones that are safe to turn off, and one-click presets: Gaming, Workstation, Laptop, Windows defaults.
Scheduled Tasks Professional
See what Windows and your programs have scheduled, run or disable tasks, and delete the ones left behind.
Performance
Live CPU, memory, disk and network graphs, the heaviest processes grouped by app if you like, temperatures where Windows exposes them, end task, free up memory (automatically when low, if you turn it on), and power plan switching including Ultimate Performance.
Processes
Every running program with who signed it, flagged when unsigned, and its open network connections with the remote host named.
Benchmark
A two-minute CPU, memory and disk test with one score and a history, so you can tell whether a clean or a driver made a difference.
Battery
For laptops: how much of the original capacity is left, charge cycles, and the capacity history Windows keeps.
Game Boost Professional
One button sets the high-performance plan, stops a chosen set of background services, trims memory and enables Game Mode. Revert puts everything back, automatically when the game closes if you like.
Tweaks Professional
Explorer, privacy and performance settings that normally need the registry, plus the three Windows visual-effects presets. The affected keys are exported to a .reg file before every change and each tweak can be reverted.
Switches Professional
The Windows settings people hunt for most as instant on/off switches: file extensions, hidden files, dark mode, Num Lock at sign-in, fast startup, hibernation, Remote Desktop, the Sticky Keys pop-up and more.
Protect Keep the PC private, healthy and up to date. Ignite PC is not an antivirus; it works alongside Windows Security.
Security
Antivirus, firewall, UAC and Windows Update status at a glance, with quick scan and definition update buttons that hand off to Windows Security.
Privacy Professional
Fourteen Windows switches that send data to Microsoft or show ads: diagnostic data, advertising ID, location, activity history, Copilot, Recall and more, with a privacy score out of 100. Lock everything down in one click, reset to defaults in another.
App Permissions Professional
Which apps may use the camera, microphone, location, contacts and more, when they last did, and Allow or Deny per app.
Autoruns
Everything that starts on its own in one list: startup entries, third-party tasks and services, shell extensions and WMI subscriptions, each with the publisher from its signature. Unsigned items sort to the top.
Browser Extensions Professional
Every extension in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox with the permissions it asked for; broad ones (all sites, history, clipboard, downloads) are marked.
Context Menu Professional
Lists every entry programs have added to the Explorer right-click menu and lets you disable the clutter without uninstalling anything.
Network Professional
DNS presets (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, ad-blocking) with a benchmark that times each one from your PC, flush and renew, a Wi-Fi report, a hosts file editor with backups, a one-click ad and tracker block list, and a full network stack reset.
Windows Update Professional
The update history with failures made visible, pause for 7 to 35 days and resume, the same as Settings, with the Settings pages one click away.
Software Updater Professional
Checks the programs the Windows Package Manager (winget) knows about for newer versions and updates the ones you pick, silently. Programs winget does not recognise are not checked.
Drivers Professional
Every driver with its version, date and signature, outdated and unsigned ones flagged, a one-click search for the vendor's download, and a full driver backup you can restore from after a reinstall. Nothing is installed behind your back.
Disk Health Professional
SMART data for each drive: temperature, wear, power-on hours, reallocated and pending sectors, and Windows' own failure prediction, plus TRIM status and one-click drive optimisation.
Backups Professional
Whether the safety nets are actually on: System Restore, File History, OneDrive, drive encryption and a driver backup, each with its fix.
Restore Points Professional
Create a restore point in one click, see the ones you have, turn System Protection on if it is off, and open System Restore.
System Repair Professional
SFC, DISM, component store cleanup, Windows Update reset, icon and font cache rebuilds, Store reset, Start menu app re-registration, network reset and more, each one streamed to a log so you can see what happened.
Tools The jobs that normally need yet another download.
Uninstaller
Installed programs with publisher, version, date and size, search, open install folder, and uninstall.
Disk Usage
Which folders and files are eating a drive, biggest first, with a space map where the bigger the box, the bigger the folder. Click a box to drill in.
Activity & Undo
Every change Ignite PC made on the PC, newest first: tweaks, startup, services, privacy, network, context menu, switches, permissions. Select one and press Revert.
Scheduler
Everything the app does on its own, with when it last ran and when it runs next.
System Info
CPU, board, memory, drives, graphics, network and Windows details in one report you can copy. Saving the report to a file needs Professional.
Dashboard
Smart Clean, a health score out of ten, recommendations with a Fix link for each, 90-day trends of health and free space, PC facts, the latest news and an update tile that installs new versions for you. Ctrl+K opens a command palette to jump anywhere.
Help & Support
The FAQ, and support tickets opened from inside the app with the system report attached. Tickets are included with Professional and above.
Settings
Start with Windows, tray behaviour, beta updates, and settings that follow your account to other PCs. Scheduled cleaning at sign-in or daily, with an emailed report, needs Professional.
Enterprise Fleet management, for people who look after more than one PC. The Fleet page holds the first four; Organisation is its own page.
Fleet Enterprise
Every PC on the account with its last-seen time, health score, free disk, memory and app version.
Remote actions Enterprise
Queue a clean, a health snapshot, a memory trim, an SFC repair, an update check or an app restart for any PC; it runs the next time that PC checks in, using the settings saved on that PC.
Alerts Enterprise
An email when a PC's health drops below your threshold, free disk falls under a percentage, or it has not been seen for a number of days.
CSV export Enterprise
The fleet and the full health history as CSV for your own spreadsheets.
Organisation Enterprise Plus
Invite members by email, they inherit the edition, and you decide which tweaks and cleaner categories they may use.
Questions

What does Ignite PC do?
It cleans out files Windows and your programs leave behind, controls what runs at startup, tunes privacy and performance settings, keeps installed software and drivers in view, and includes the repair tools you would otherwise run from a command prompt. One install instead of a dozen.
Is Ignite PC an antivirus?
No. The Security page shows the status of Windows Security (antivirus, firewall, User Account Control and Windows Update) and lets you start a quick scan or definition update, but the scanning is done by Windows. Ignite PC's protection tools are privacy switches, a driver and software update check, disk health reporting and repair commands. Keep your antivirus.
Which versions of Windows does it support?
Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) and Windows 11, 64-bit. It needs administrator rights, because cleaning system folders and changing Windows settings require them. About 150 MB of disk space.
Do I need an account?
You can install the free edition without one. Signing in (free) unlocks the 14-day Professional trial, keeps your settings in sync between PCs, shows your PC's health history on this site, and is how a paid edition is applied. We never ask for your card details; Stripe handles payment.
Is it a subscription?
No. A paid edition is a one-time purchase and the software keeps working after the included support period ends. Each edition includes a support period with updates: one year for Professional and Enterprise, two years for Enterprise Plus. After that you can buy a support renewal if you want further updates and email support. Nothing is charged automatically.
How many PCs can I use it on?
Free and Professional: one PC. Enterprise: two PCs. Enterprise Plus: site-wide use within a single business, with no fixed PC limit. A licence is tied to your account and the hardware of the PCs you sign in from. Got a new PC? Email support and we move the licence over.
Does it change anything without asking?
Not when you are using it. Cleaning tools list what they found and nothing is removed until you press Clean or Remove; the Registry cleaner also exports every key to a .reg backup you can restore from inside the app. Tools that change settings or run repairs (Game Boost, System Repair, Network reset, Software Updater, Bloatware) confirm first and say what they will do, and Tweaks and Privacy switches can be reverted from the same page. Two things run on their own, only because you set them up: scheduled cleaning (Professional) cleans the categories you ticked, at sign-in or daily, and remote actions (Enterprise) run the task an administrator queued the next time the PC checks in.
What data does the app send?
With an account signed in it sends short health snapshots (Windows version, CPU name, disk and memory totals, startup count, health score) so your dashboard and weekly report work, plus anonymous usage counts and crash reports. Never your files, browsing history or passwords. One switch in Settings, "Send anonymous usage statistics and crash reports", turns all of it off; an Enterprise Plus organisation can require it for its members. Without an account nothing is sent except the update check. See the Privacy Policy.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 30 days of purchase, no questions asked. Email support with your order number. Details in the Refund Policy.
What is Enterprise for?
People who look after more than one PC. The fleet view shows every PC's health in one place, you can queue a clean or a repair remotely, get an email when a PC runs low on disk or goes quiet, and export everything to CSV. Enterprise Plus adds an organisation: invite the people in your business, set which tools they may use, and manage every PC site-wide.
How do updates work?
The app checks for a new version when it starts and offers to install it from the dashboard. Release notes are posted on the News page.
How do I uninstall it?
From Windows Settings → Apps, like any other program. Uninstalling leaves your Windows settings as they were when you last applied them; use Reset to Windows defaults on the Privacy and Tweaks pages first if you want everything back to stock.
