O&O Defrag 29: Maximum performance for every PC – now also for Intel, AMD and ARM Processors

With O&O Defrag 29, Berlin-based O&O Software GmbH has released the latest version of its globally successful and well-known system optimization for Windows. O&O IntensiveOptimize has been improved and is a unique solution worldwide for optimizing the entire Windows system from the outside in a safe mode, so that even locked files can be defragmented. The newly integrated O&O StartupManager can shorten the waiting time when starting Windows by deactivating or deleting programs, tasks and services. And another unique innovation: O&O Defrag 29 now natively supports the latest Windows PC generation with ARM processors in addition to Intel and AMD CPUs.

New user interface and native support for the ARM platform
For the first time, O&O Defrag 29 now supports the family of CPUs based on the ARM architecture (Advanced RISC Machine) in addition to the existing Intel and AMD processors. These are currently mainly used in new Windows PCs with AI support and will take up a significant market share in the coming period due to their energy efficiency and lower costs.

As part of this expansion, the modern user interface of O&O Defrag was also revised and simplified, so that not only is optimization possible at the touch of a button, but automatic defragmentation can also be activated with a click. The integration of O&O IntensiveOptimize and the existing and new tools has also been made significantly easier.

O&O StartupManager: Remove unnecessary ballast at startup

The new O&O StartupManager offers a clear overview of all programs, tasks and services that are automatically executed when Windows starts. With detailed information about each program – including the impact on the system’s startup time – it is easy to decide which programs should be activated or deactivated. Unnecessary applications are marked as such and can be deactivated with a mouse click. Defective startup entries are also detected and can be deleted. This shortens the computer’s startup time and ensures that it is ready for use more quickly.

O&O VisualDisk: Visualization of write accesses to SSDs

O&O VisualDisk clearly displays write accesses to the hard drive, such as those that occur on flash-based storage media such as SSDs and NVMe drives. This innovative function shows how defragmentation can help reduce future write accesses and extend the lifespan of SSDs. The user gets a clear picture of how the hard drive is working and how its performance can be optimized through targeted measures. O&O VisualDisk helps you understand how O&O Defrag can get the most out of a hard drive and protect it from unnecessary wear and tear – for a long-lasting and fast PC system.
