Windows 7 System Maintenance Tool *Updated*
With Windows 7 Microsoft introduces a system maintenance tool. You are curious what it is doing, right?
It checks for:
- Broken shortcuts
- Unused desktop icons
Update:
- Troubleshooting history / Error reports taking up disk space
- System Timecorrection
- Disk Volume errors
And also collects system information:
Random Info: I took both screens with the new Windows 7 snipping tool, which will increase your productivity a lot. What I don’t like about it is the red border and it saves the file extension in uppercase-letters if you do not type them in.
Anyway, I think Microsoft should deliver all the tools we know from TuneUpUtilites. I do not want to buy additional software to do all the tweaks that are hidden in the registry.
They should include:
- Optimize performance / disable certain graphic elements
- Registry cleaner
- Cookie / Temp cleaner
- Clear History / Favorites / etc
- Advanced Defrag
What else would you like in there if you could change the system maintenance tool ?
Update:
This is the latest system maintenance tool:

Go to the control panel. Then scroll down until you find “Troubleshooting”. Select “Run maintenance taks” to open the system maintenance tool.
I’ve been having trouble with this darn thing saying my brand new computer has disk errors. I’ve run a chkdsk to no avail. I’ve stumbled upon many forums with many people having this problem. I think it’s a bug in Windows. What do you guys think?
