TuneUp Utilities attention with Windows 7

Personally, I use it daily and I have never encountered any hardware/software conflicts. I use it in conjunction with CCleaner to effectively clean my PC, and it works wonderfully.

Hello j-pierre252... It's excellent software (that's why it's paid) not to be put in everyone's hands (be careful what you do) It is compatible with Windows 7... you might want to question your ability to manage this program.

Personally, I've been using Tune up for almost 4 years and I've never had any problems!

In my opinion, check if you might have a little virus or something on your PC!
That would seem more logical to me!

Hello everyone, I found the solution and what j-pierre252 says is purely true, so stop burying your heads in the sand and thinking that your computer is corrupted. Let me explain the procedure so you don’t get caught. When you activate the infamous turbo mode, go to the turbo mode settings and check everything except the option to disable rarely used programs, and there you go, everything is okay, turbo mode activated. And you'll notice that the restore hasn’t budged or the system as a whole.

I am surprised by your troubles with this utility; I have never encountered this issue. But is the version you installed the one from the editor alone, or is it a version with a patch... (crack)? Because this is where the problem could originate if that were the case.

Hello, if I may, I've been using Tune-Up for 3 years, I have the versions from 2007 to 2010 (authentic), and I've never had the slightest problem on either Seven or Vista.

This kind of tools is harmful and can conflict with antivirus software; CCleaner is enough (without the "registry" option).

Hello. The unique topic is a bit old (a lot), but I think it needs to be discussed; this program is still quite significant.

I had two PCs with TuneUp installed.
The first one, with a small configuration, was well optimized until I realized that gradually, the OS became unusable due to registry keys deleted by TuneUp (it removed the keys allowing Windows Update to function, for example).
The second PC, a gamer configuration, I had it to protect the computer and maintain its performance. I don't know if it's fulfilling its optimization role: the OS is bugging more and more and sometimes takes 5 minutes after logging in to be responsive (compared to two seconds during its first days of existence). TuneUp also had the brilliant idea of removing all access permissions/denials for files and folders in the programs and Windows directories. Super useful to be a super administrator and not be able to do a simple copy-paste or install anything.

In both cases, all the problems seem to stem solely from TuneUp.
My first PC is now just a pile of components vampirized for the sake of the second one, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. But my current PC still has this program.
And the cherry on top: I can't uninstall it normally; I first need to manually disable all its actions, or else all the programs/elements it controlled will be permanently disabled by a program that will no longer be there to turn them back on.

So thanks, AVG, for creating such a dangerous software, and for not considering that one might want to roll back:
No healthy restore points, no risk-free uninstallation.
Result: I have a 50% chance of having to reinstall my entire system if the uninstallation of TuneUp fails, or if it has already caused too much damage.

Crash me too on Windows 7 with TuneUp Utilities 2011.
So far I haven't had any problems.
I've been using TuneUp for many years (official versions).
Here's the email I just sent to TuneUp support.
"Hello,
> The day before yesterday, the day after the update of Windows 7 SP1, having lost the display of the Windows desktop... the hotline of my laptop vendor had me format the partition of the disk where Windows and the programs were for a reinstallation of Windows 7 (Fortunately, my personal files were on the D partition of the disk).
> I spent a whole day reinstalling all my software.
> This morning, it's happening again: error message (file loss or corrupt file) and here I am with another black screen instead of the desktop.
> Fortunately, I still had the quick launch bar and I was able to access TuneUp Utilities to undo its last maintenance changes in one click.
> And everything went back to normal.
> Since then, I have disabled automatic TuneUp maintenance which seems responsible for these serious malfunctions.
> Do you have a solution to prevent TuneUp from crashing my computer?"

While waiting for a solution, I have disabled TuneUp's automatic maintenance.

J-Pierre is right because I can no longer reinstall this software; an error code appears even though I had uninstalled it. It starts with this message:
(Uninstall the existing version of TuneUp Utilities?)
Then comes the following message during installation!
(Windows Installer encountered an unexpected error during the installation of this package.
It may be a problem related to the package.
The error code is 2753.
This is also not a virus because I use AVG Internet Security +
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate version.

I have no problem with the full version of Seven.

This type of tool is harmful, especially registry cleaning (risk of deleting keys that are still in use), and its drivers can conflict with those of your antivirus.

Windows can replace it; it can clean and defragment for free.

Hello everyone.
I've had this TuneUp program for four years, I'm on Vista, and I can assure you
that it has never once let me down! It very effectively does its job
of automatic maintenance and alerts me whenever there's an optimization issue.
Of course, I have the paid version and updates are regular. Furthermore,
I only have my anti-virus Avira and Windows protections. It is highly
discouraged (Advice from a pro) to install too many anti-malware programs and others
that often "destroy" or disrupt the work of TuneUp.
Have a great day everyone.

I completely agree: this problem happened to me with TuneUp Utilities 2011 and I had to go to a computer store to reinstall Windows 7 because the HP warranty does not cover issues caused by third-party software (not belonging to HP)

Hello everyone.

I can't believe that some of you are having problems with Tune up. I think Greg is being a bit harsh in absolutely discouraging it.
Following my previous comment, I assure you again that I haven't encountered the
least little issue! And yet my computer is as basic as it gets.
Packard Bell Imedia A 3131. So with Windows Vista... Nauno, you say you formatted your PC because of crashes, but that was before you installed Tuneup.
So I’m afraid your problem might be coming from elsewhere in the PC. I also add that when I install a paid program, I always make a backup on CD, including the activation key. You never know...

Have a good evening everyone.

Hello, I just had a big problem with TuneUp and Seven... I've been using TuneUp for a long time and never had any issues, but now... huge crash!!

Hello,
I also have a problem with Tune Utilities 2011 on XP SP3 Pro and Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Indeed, after installation, I restart my PC and my "DVD-RW drive" becomes "Drive" (on both XP and 7) and the Windows icon disappears from my system disk (on 7). Moreover, auto-run is disabled and my computer can no longer read DVDs/CDs properly (10 minutes to read, 10 minutes to open).
On Windows XP, I was able to resolve the issue with "autofix", but it doesn't exist on seven, and I have to revert to 2010, which works without issues.

I confirm I am currently using TuneUp Utilities 2012 and it has caused me two BLUE SCREENS! I have also requested help on this site, I am on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

This program seems to be very dangerous and I notice while searching for information online that more and more of us are complaining about this program.

The fact of having the trial program, the paid program or the cracked program has absolutely nothing to do with it because it's just a key entry that does not modify the program in any way (downloaded from the official site) and for your information, I am using the trial version and I still had my 2 blue screens, it's really too bad this program seemed so good, plus I trusted, I won't fall for it again!

PROGRAM TO STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST! especially on Windows 7 64 bit apparently.

Indeed. And I had a problem related to the package. Error 2753. But I solved it thanks to the Windows Install Cleanup software for those interested.

Personally, I have been using TuneUp Utilities 2012 for 2 months, and the problem it warns about just happened to me. I am disappointed because I installed TuneUp Utilities 2012 on the advice of a friend since I had already had to format my PC three times due to crashes, and now it’s happening again.
I came across this article while doing a Google search to see if I could uninstall/reinstall TuneUp Utilities 2012 without risking losing my license. I wanted to uninstall it to see if it was causing my PC to crash every time I launched any program at startup. The fact that I had no slow-down issues in safe mode (which excludes environmental causes) and that TuneUp Utilities could not start in safe mode made me suspicious.
