In general, the idea of optimizing or cleaning memory under Windows sounds like a placebo. Many “tools” do nothing but send all the content to the swap file to “free” RAM, but the truth is that Windows has its own official cleaning mechanisms. All that Windows Memory Cleaner by Igor Mundstein does is shake those mechanisms a bit, and enable more direct control for the user.
Expanding your computer's RAM is one of the best upgrades you can make. However, this isn't always possible due to price, availability, or hardware limitations (soldered memory, lack of slots, etc.). Finding more efficient programs isn't complicated, and there's always the chance to experiment in the Linux universe, but if you have to cross swords with a laptop that has 4 GB of RAM and only accepts Windows, you might find a temporary solution in Windows Memory Cleaner by Igor Mundstein.
Optimize your PC's memory with Windows Memory Cleaner
Unlike many fake tools, Windows Memory Cleaner uses the official cleaning and optimization resources that come with Windows. This means the program can process the different page lists, and the famous standby list, accused of causing stuttering on many computers. If we recall, RAMMap lets us empty the standby list manually, and Intelligent Standby List Cleaner by Wagnardsoft automates the process, but Windows Memory Cleaner goes a step further.
In addition to choosing the memory areas to optimize, you can also define the main scheduling parameter, either by time (between 1 and 168 hours) or based on the percentage of free memory. Choosing 0 percent or 0 hours disables both options completely, which leads to the keyboard shortcut for manual optimization, Ctrl+Alt+M by default. Finally, Windows Memory Cleaner enables a section that excludes specific processes. This is very useful in games that don't get along well with the optimization process.
In summary, don't expect any miracle from Windows Memory Cleaner. After all, we can't invent memory that doesn't exist (someone already tried it in the past), and the freed memory will be occupied by something else in the short term. Even so, it's not a bad idea to have some control over Windows' standard optimization, and the last good news is that it works with all its retro versions thanks to .NET 4.
