WinTuning 8

There are plenty of users that have a tough time finding the knobs in Windows that would improve their experience with the operating system and that’s where third party developers come in.
WinTuning 8 is a large collection of utilities whose main purpose is to improve the performance of Windows 8 and maintain it running at its best. Some of the tools offer the possibility to implement visual tweaks and to extend overall functionality of the system.

Main application window

The impact WinTuning 8 has at a first glance is that it is a product designed for the professional user; indeed, some of the changes are better handled by more seasoned user, but most options are accompanied by a brief description of their purpose and their impact on the computer.
The main screen presents a rich list of utilities, each in charge with a specific mission; from tweaking hardware components, bumping security up or applying various performance boosting changes to keeping installed software updated to the latest version and customizing various areas for increased productivity, it is all available in the main panel.

Combined list of utilities

Apart from bringing to the table its own tools, WinTuning 8 also provides access to various utilities already available in Windows.
Both the third-party items and the Microsoft-developed utilities are neatly organized according their corresponding category. In both cases, one category contains multiple entries.
WinTuning 8 contributes with more than 20 utilities while the shortcuts for the ones built into the system goes past 50. However, a large number of tools does not necessarily correspond to a better job because many of them the user may never need.

Conclusion

The bundle is impressive through the sheer number of programs it integrates. Some of them are more useful than the others but having all of them, including those signed by Microsoft, under the same roof is definitely beneficial for the user.
