Scheduler

WinSysClean can clean automatically so you do not have to remember. There are two schedulers: the standard scheduler for startup behaviour, and the advanced scheduler for timed cleaning.

Standard Scheduler

Open Scheduler from the menu. It controls what happens at Windows startup.

Option What it does
Clean System at Windows StartUp Cleans using your current settings at every Windows startup, then exits.
Load WinSysClean at StartUp Starts WinSysClean minimized to the tray icon (same as the /load switch). Right-click the tray icon to open it.
Exit after Cleaning is Complete Exits without showing the clean statistics (same as /autoclose; must be combined with the clean-at-startup option).

Use Load WinSysClean at StartUp only if you use WinSysClean frequently. Loading at every startup uses a little memory even when you do not open it.

Advanced Scheduler

The Advanced Scheduler runs a cleaning session at a specific date and time — and it works even when WinSysClean is not running.

  1. Choose a starting date and starting time.
  2. Optionally set an ending date. Leave it off to keep repeating indefinitely.
  3. Pick a frequency: Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
  4. Save. Windows runs WinSysClean for you at the scheduled moments.

Command-line switches

WinSysClean supports manual automation from a script, shortcut, or the scheduler:

Switch Effect
/load Load WinSysClean minimized to the tray.
/clean Start cleaning immediately.
/autoclose Exit automatically when cleaning finishes (use together with /clean).

The advanced scheduler relies on the Windows Task Scheduler, which must be running for scheduled cleans to happen.
