The Main Tools

jv16 PowerTools 9 comes with five main tools for making your life with Windows a lot easier.

Dashboard

Instantly see how your Windows PC is doing with live processor and memory usage, how your disks are being utilized and so on.

You can easily see which applications are using your resources, what is automatically starting with Windows and explore your system storage usage.

The Dashboard gives you a great starting point for deciding what needs attention, including tips on what you should do to keep your system running optimally and error-free.

System Fixer

Find and automatically repair common Windows problems, including broken shortcuts, invalid startup entries and invalid system settings that can cause system level problems and crashes.

System Fixer checks for 11 categories of issues, from software leftovers to missing runtime DLLs. Review each finding and its proposed fix before anything is applied.

This is not a magical snake oil product that fixes all problems in your life or even everything in your computer. This is a tool designed to automatically diagnose and fix the most common problems in Windows.

System Cleaner

Clear out unneeded files and obsolete registry data to reclaim system resources.

System Cleaner brings its findings together in one scan, including temporary files and leftover data from applications. Review the results and choose what to remove.

While Windows’ built-in Disk Cleanup tool is a good starting point, sometimes you want to get deeper. When you do, System Cleaner is there to help.

App Cleaner

See which applications have unneeded data ready to clean.

App Cleaner lists only the cleaning options with data currently available, so you can focus on what is taking up space. Choose the options you want and clean them in one place.

Ideal for cleaning MRU (Most Recently Used) and other history data, as well as app-specific temporary data.

Or, you can also have the System Cleaner clean all these for you. With jv16 PowerTools, you are in charge.

Browser Cleaner

Easily clean unwanted browser data such as browsing history, cookies and other stored data.

See what would be cleaned, and choose what to clean, before anything happens. You can also specify what data to always keep, such as cookies from sites you use frequently.

Fully supports Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Brave, Opera and Opera GX.

Or, you can also have the System Cleaner clean all these for you. It’s your computer. You decide.
