PC Services Optimizer FAQs

PC Services Optimizer (formerly Vista Services Optimizer) is a solution for managing and optimizing Windows services configuration that can enhance the performance and security of your computer. It adjusts the configuration of Windows services based on your computer usage and the software and hardware you utilize.

PC Services Optimizer is a safe solution to use. It has a Rescue Center feature that can revert any changes made by PC Services Optimizer and other software to your Windows services configuration. Moreover, PC Services Optimizer can create system restore points before optimizing Windows services.

The requirements for running PC Services Optimizer are as follows:

• Microsoft Windows 7, 8.1, 10 or 11 operating system (including 64-bit versions).
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 and later

PC Services Optimizer does not support Microsoft Windows XP. This is because Windows XP has a different Windows services configuration from Windows Vista and later versions.

Currently, PC Services Optimizer supports these languages: Czech, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish.

PC Services Optimizer is compatible with major anti-virus and security products, including the default Windows security app. However, in some cases, your anti-virus software may prevent PC Services Optimizer from configuring and optimizing Windows services configuration correctly. Therefore, it is highly recommended to add PC Services Optimizer to your anti-virus exclusions.
