[SOLVED] Some Good Utility Programs

[Oasis Curator]

Hello

I use Aida64 and HD Sentinel, both of which are excellent at telling me information about my system.

I also use Geek Uninstaller and PatchMyPC, the former being excellent at keeping things tidy, the latter used as a guide for keeping programs up to date.

Can anyone recommend any key programs they think are pretty good like these?

I'll pass, thanks.
Programs should do that individually, on my command.

I don't think you need anymore utility programs other than the one mentioned above; your system should be able to handle almost all games smoothly even on high-settings.

Installing more would just be counter-productive. You could install an anti-virus software if you haven't already done so.

The default Windows Defender is as good as any other.
No need to install something fancy.

And if you are so inclined consider using Powershell.

Powershell comes with Windows and is quite powerful and useful.

Futhermore, there are quite a number of single line "Get" cmdlets that can deliver all sorts of information about a computer.

Get's being a Read-only action.

Examples:

Get-PNPDevice

Get-Process

Get-Counter

Get-NetAdapter

And you can create your own customized scripts to filter, sort, and present system information.

Regarding RAM:

Powershell methods are at the end of the link.

You may need to install some additional Powershell modules for CIM and WMI

You do realise it does nothing but check what version you have against what the latest version is?
Will only download / initiate installs on your command 😋
