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.
- Choose a starting date and starting time.
- Optionally set an ending date. Leave it off to keep repeating indefinitely.
- Pick a frequency: Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
- 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.
