Included Scripts

system-booster.ps1

This script helps improve system performance by:

• detecting whether it is running with administrator privileges
• switching the power plan to High Performance using powercfg
• stopping non-critical services such as SysMain or Windows Search
• clearing the RAM standby list using EmptyStandbyList.exe
• saving the original state and allowing rollback with the -Revert parameter

deep-cleaner.ps1

This script performs a deeper system cleanup by:

• verifying administrator privileges
• running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• safely cleaning the temporary folders from $env:TEMP and C:\Windows\Temp
• deleting Event Viewer logs with wevtutil
• showing free space before and after execution and the total space reclaimed
• generating a final log with the result of each operation

Security Notice

Before running any script, make a backup of any files or settings it may affect. Review the code carefully and run it only if you understand its impact.
