Microsoft’s PC Manager app, which is meant to enhance user experience on Windows 10 and 11 systems, is now available for download from the Microsoft Store. It is available on Windows 10 and 11 (x64 and ARM).
For those unaware, the PC Manager app, developed by Microsoft China, was released as a free tool back in 2022 as a preview for only select regions.
The app, which is similar to CCleaner, was officially launched in January 2024 and is now widely available for more regions, including the U.S., in English and Chinese language options.
