O&O Defrag 30: The Optimization Suite for Windows 11

Berlin-based O&O Software GmbH is releasing O&O Defrag 30, the latest version of its globally successful and renowned system optimization for Windows. O&O IntensiveOptimize has been improved and is a unique solution worldwide for externally optimizing the entire Windows system in safe mode, allowing even locked files to be defragmented. The newly integrated O&O Startup Manager can shorten the waiting time when Windows starts by disabling or deleting programs, tasks, and services.

Optimizations for Windows 11 – but also for Windows 10

For the upcoming end of support for Windows 10, we have once again intensively optimized O&O Defrag for the new features of Windows 11 and enhanced it with additional tools, although all functions continue to work under Windows 10. In addition to the well-known optimization of hard drives and SSDs, direct performance gains can now be achieved by removing applications or disabling them at Windows startup.

We have also integrated our Check and Repair technology from O&O DiskImage into O&O Defrag, allowing you to automatically repair Windows problems with just the click of a button.

Revised, modern user interface

As part of this expansion, the modern user interface of O&O Defrag has also been revised and simplified, allowing automatic optimization in the background to be activated with a single click. The integration of O&O IntensiveOptimize, the new Boot-Time Optimization, and the existing and new tools has also been significantly simplified.

New Boot-Time Optimization and Improved O&O IntensiveOptimize

The new Boot-Time Optimization offers fully automatic optimization before Windows actually starts, ensuring that all files can be optimized. This particularly applies to critical system files that are locked during Windows startup and can cause significant performance losses.

With the revised O&O IntensiveOptimize, we also offer ambitious users the opportunity to optimize their system in their own Windows environment. Also with full access to all user and system files.

With the improvements in version 30, setup is just a click of the mouse, and even BitLocker-encrypted drives can be easily and securely optimized in their own Windows environment.

O&O StartupManager: Remove Unnecessary Ballast at Startup

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

O&O AppBuster: Remove Unnecessary Applications

With O&O AppBuster, multiple applications can be automatically uninstalled at the touch of a button. With the new application classifications, whether they are useful or not, you can quickly get an overview of which applications need to be uninstalled. O&O AppBuster can remove not only Windows desktop applications but also applications from the Microsoft Store. This also prevents them from being automatically installed for new users of the system, which is the default Windows setting.

O&O VisualDisk: Visualization of Write Access on SSDs

O&O VisualDisk clearly displays write access to the hard drive, such as flash-based storage media such as SSDs and NVMe drives. The improved version not only has a redesigned user interface but also improves performance when displaying accesses. O&O VisualDisk demonstrates how optimizing disks can help reduce future write accesses and extend the lifespan of SSDs. The user receives a clear picture of how the drives are operating and how their performance can be optimized through targeted measures.
