Windows Cleanup Baseline
Use this baseline before deeper diagnostics.
- Remove obvious startup bloat and unused applications.
- Check storage pressure and clear temporary files safely.
- Run update checks and confirm reboot status.
- Validate Defender status and quick scan results.
- Review browser extension sprawl and suspicious add-ons.
- Measure boot time and idle memory before/after cleanup.
- Create a short user checklist for ongoing hygiene.
