Cleaning tools in Free and Pro

Easy Gamer Utility Free includes useful cleaning tools for supported game launchers and graphics software.

Depending on what is installed on your computer, you may be able to clean cache files for programs such as:

• Steam
• Epic Games Launcher
• Ubisoft Connect
• EA App
• Battle.net
• Riot Client
• Microsoft Store
• NVIDIA
• AMD
• Intel
• DirectX

These main cache-cleaning tools are available without needing Pro.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro adds extra cleaning and automation options. For example, Pro can automatically clear supported graphics and DirectX cache files when Easy Gamer Utility starts with Windows.

Pro also unlocks additional cleaning controls found in the more advanced cleaner sections.

Game Data and storage scanning

See also: How to update Easy Gamer Utility Article

Both Free and Pro users can use the Game Data section to look for large game folders.

The scan can show information such as:

• Game name
• Folder name
• Folder type
• Folder size
• Full folder location

This tool does not automatically uninstall or delete a game.

It is mainly used to help you understand what is taking up space on your storage drive.

Game file tools

Both versions can help you locate supported game folders.

This includes folders containing:

• Saved game data
• Configuration files
• Mod files
• Game installation files

Easy Gamer Utility Pro adds more backup options, including automatic backups for supported game saves.

With automatic backups enabled, Easy Gamer Utility can create backups of selected supported games using the folder you choose.

The free version may still allow you to open save locations or create basic backups, but automatic backup features can be restricted.

Game Launcher 2 desktop widgets

See also: Why Easy Gamer Utility may require administrator permission Article

Game Launcher 2 can display launcher widgets on your Windows desktop.

Available widgets may include supported games from:

• Steam
• EA App
• Xbox app
• Ubisoft Connect
• Roblox

Easy Gamer Utility Free can display up to three desktop game widgets at the same time.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro removes this limit, allowing you to display more supported widgets.

You can also change the opacity of the widgets to make them more or less transparent.

Game launching features

Both Free and Pro include basic game launching tools.

You can browse for a game file, add it to Easy Gamer Utility and launch it from inside the program.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro unlocks more advanced launch controls.

These include features such as:

• Force a selected game to always use High Priority
• Open Windows Troubleshoot
• Enter the computer’s BIOS or firmware settings
• Use additional Windows startup options
• Automatically enable Game Booster when launching a game

These features may need administrator permission because they interact with protected Windows settings.

Force Game High Priority

The Force Game High Priority tool is a Pro feature.

It lets Easy Gamer Utility configure a selected game to run using High Priority.

High Priority tells Windows to give the game more attention than normal background programs.

This does not guarantee better performance. It can also cause problems with certain games or anti-cheat systems.

Read the warning shown inside Easy Gamer Utility before using this feature.

Network tools in Free and Pro

Easy Gamer Utility Free includes basic tools for common network problems.

These can include:

• Clear the DNS cache
• Change the local IP address
• Reset a network adapter
• Run a basic ping or latency test

Easy Gamer Utility Pro unlocks additional network features.

These include:

• Check a game server connection
• View the server’s online status
• View connection and ping information
• Find connections used by a selected game or process
• Remove old network adapters

Some Pro network tools require Easy Gamer Utility to be running as an administrator.

Performance Advisor Free vs Pro

The Performance Advisor checks your computer for possible gaming problems.

Both versions can show a Gaming Health Score and explain the issues found.

Free Performance Advisor checks

The free scan covers a selection of common gaming problems.

Examples can include:

• A controller connected through Bluetooth
• A power-saving Windows plan
• A monitor running at a low refresh rate
• High memory usage
• Game overlays
• Xbox Game Bar recording
• OneDrive running
• An old graphics driver

Each result includes a description and a recommended action.

Pro Performance Advisor checks

Easy Gamer Utility Pro runs a much larger collection of checks.

Additional Pro checks can include:

• High CPU usage
• High storage-drive usage
• A laptop running on battery power
• VPN software
• Multiple monitors
• RGB control software
• Web browsers running in the background
• Too many Windows startup programs
• Low SSD or game-drive space
• Recording and streaming software
• Gaming over Wi-Fi
• Windows Update running
• Background downloads
• Wallpaper Engine
• Page file settings
• Windows Game Mode
• Windows security settings
• Discord hardware acceleration
• NVIDIA overlay or Instant Replay
• Windows running for a long time without restarting
• Windows services that could affect gaming
• High background process counts

The Performance Advisor only reports possible issues. It does not mean every item found is definitely causing a problem.

Game Booster Free vs Pro

Game Boost Mode is available with a selection of basic options.

The basic version can help with simple tasks such as freeing unused memory or temporarily changing selected gaming settings.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro unlocks additional Game Booster controls.

These can include:

• Lower the priority of background programs
• Close overlays and recording software
• Disable secondary monitors
• Close programs from a custom list
• Pause services from a custom list
• Automatically detect games and enable Game Boost Mode
• Automatically free memory at set intervals
• Display the Game Booster desktop bar
• Enable Game Booster automatically when launching a game

When Game Boost Mode is turned off, Easy Gamer Utility attempts to restore the settings that it changed.

Game Booster cannot guarantee higher FPS.

Windows Tweaks

The Windows Tweaks section is a Pro feature.

It contains options that change selected Windows settings for gaming or general system behaviour.

Available tweaks can include:

• Add the Ultimate Performance power plan
• Disable Xbox Game Bar
• Disable MPO
• Enable AVX
• Disable hibernation and Fast Startup
• Disable notifications

Some tweaks require administrator permission.

The section also includes an option to create a Windows restore point before making changes.

A restore point may help you undo system changes if something does not work as expected.

Game fixing limits

Easy Gamer Utility Free includes access to selected game repair tools, but some fixes may be limited to a certain number of attempts.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro removes the limits from supported trial-based fixing features.

This means Pro users can retry those tools without being stopped by the free usage counter.

A game repair cannot guarantee that a problem will be fixed. The result depends on what is causing the game to fail.

Dead and stuck pixel tools

The screen colour test can help you look for dead or stuck pixels.

The test displays different full-screen colours so that faulty pixels are easier to see.

The pixel fixer displays rapidly changing colours that may help with certain stuck pixels.

Free users can try the fixer for a limited amount of time.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro removes the free time limit.

A physically damaged or completely dead pixel may not be repairable using software.

Pro settings and automation

Easy Gamer Utility Pro unlocks additional settings, including options such as:

• Clear supported graphics cache files when Windows starts
• Enable Game Booster automatically when launching a game
• Use automatic save-data backups
• Control additional update notifications
• Access extra automation features

These options are useful when you want Easy Gamer Utility to perform regular tasks without setting them up each time.

Does the free version contain adverts?

The free version may display an upgrade banner, offer or other ComputerSluggish message inside the program.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro removes the main in-app advertising area.

Important program messages, update information and system notifications may still be shown when needed.

Does Pro guarantee better gaming performance?

No.

Easy Gamer Utility Pro gives you more tools and checks, but it cannot guarantee:

• Higher FPS
• Lower ping
• Faster loading
• No more crashes
• Better hardware performance

The result depends on your computer, Windows setup, running programs, internet connection and the game you are playing.

Pro gives you more control and more information. It does not replace a hardware upgrade or fix every possible gaming problem.

Which version should you use?

Easy Gamer Utility Free is a good choice if you mainly want to:

• Clean common gaming cache files
• Find game folders
• Launch games
• Run basic performance checks
• Use occasional troubleshooting tools
• Try Easy Gamer Utility before upgrading

Easy Gamer Utility Pro may be more suitable if you want to:

• Use the full Performance Advisor
• Use advanced Game Booster options
• Automate backups and cleaning tasks
• Access the Windows Tweaks section
• Use advanced network tools
• Use Force Game High Priority
• Display more desktop game widgets
• Remove trial limits from supported tools

You can begin with the free version and upgrade later if you need the additional features.

How do I know which version I am using?

Look at the title near the top of the Easy Gamer Utility window.

If Pro is active, it will display:

Easy Gamer Utility PRO

You can also open the Settings section and check the activation or subscription information.

If a feature shows an orange Pro label or opens the upgrade window, that feature is not included in the free version.

Do I need to install a different program for Pro?

No.

Easy Gamer Utility Free and Pro use the same main program.

Activating a valid Pro licence unlocks the Pro features inside your existing installation.

You do not need to uninstall Easy Gamer Utility or download a separate Pro installer.
