Foreign media warns that you should use Microsoft Computer Manager with caution. Cleaning the Prefetch folder will slow down your PC.

There are many types of computer managers and security guards in China, and even Microsoft has developed similar software - Microsoft Computer Manager. Functionally speaking, this software can also implement functions such as accelerating the system, clearing cache and disk space, blocking pop-up ads, and virus scanning with one click.

However, foreign media Neowin reported that the deep cleaning function of Microsoft Computer Manager will cause the computer to slow down. This function will find files and caches that are no longer needed in the user's computer and delete them, thereby freeing up space to speed up the computer.

However, the result is counterproductive. The deep cleaning function will clear all files in the computer's Prefetch folder, and the computer needs to use this folder to save information about the applications run by the user so that it can be started faster next time.

Naturally, quick startup will no longer be possible after deletion. In other words, you can only choose between storage space and quick startup.

It is recommended that users avoid cleaning the Prefetch folder if there is no special need when using similar software to ensure the normal operation of the computer.
