Macecraft Software has released jv16 PowerTools X, the latest generation of Windows optimization software designed to automatically fix system errors, improve the PC’s overall performance, and clean unneeded data from Windows-based PCs.
The release was made alongside an industry-wide benchmark report showing jv16 PowerTools X achieving up to 14 percent improvements in PCMark 7 benchmark scores and up to 68 percent improvements in the Windows startup speed. Using different computers and Windows operating system versions, the PowerTools X product was able to improve the Windows startup time by 38 seconds on average.
Supported operating systems are: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000. The product fully supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
The main features of the jv16 PowerTools X include:
- A new tool called the Startup Optimizer which is an easy-to-use tool designed to improve the way Windows starts up. It works by integrating itself to the Windows boot process and offers real-time optimization each time the system starts.
- The main product feature called Clean and Fix My Computer has been extended to merge all of the main Windows cleaning features into a single, easy-to-use tool. For example, the new Startup Optimizer tool can be enabled by simply running the Clean and Fix My Computer feature.
- The ‘My Account’ section has been added to the product’s main user interface in order to ensure a smooth transition between different versions of the product as well as a user-friendly license management and automatic licensing feature for already registered customers. To activate a registered version of the product, all the user needs to do is to enter his or her name and the My Account feature will take care of the rest.
jv16 PowerTools X 4.0.0.1485 changes:
- Bug fix: Windows warns about incorrect certificate when starting PowerTools – This is due to the certificate used to sign the program expired, the new version is now signed wit a new certificate.
- Bug fix: The program can crash with Out of Memory error message.
- Bug fix: The Back button in the main user interface isn’t translated. This fix does not require changes to the translation files.
- Bug fix: The Select feature to automatically select all but one of the found duplicate files is missing from the Duplicate File Finder. It’s back now.
- Bug fix: Disabling or Enabling startup items with the Startup Manager can lead to the progress panels to be displayed incorrectly (two panels overlapping each other).
