Features
Over 20 tools, sorted by what you need
Pick a category to see the tools inside. 1-Click Maintenance combines the most common jobs.
Free up space and clear clutter
Disk Cleaner
Finds temporary files, old installer leftovers, log files, error reports and browser caches so you can delete them safely.
Duplicate Files Finder
Compares files by name, size and content to find copies that waste space, then lets you choose which ones to remove.
Empty Folders Finder
Locates folders left empty by old programs and removes them in one pass.
Repair common Windows problems
Registry Repair
Scans for invalid references left by uninstalled software and backs up anything it changes, so a fix can be undone.
Shortcut Fixer
Finds broken shortcuts on the desktop and in the Start menu whose target program has moved or been removed.
Uninstall Manager
Removes programs and then scans for leftover files and registry entries the normal uninstaller missed.
Software Update
Checks installed programs for newer versions so you can patch bugs and security holes sooner.
Boot faster and stay responsive
Startup Manager
Shows every program, service and scheduled task that starts with Windows, with options to disable or delay them.
Memory Optimizer
Monitors RAM use and frees memory held by idle processes when you need more headroom.
Disk Defrag
Defragments and optimizes hard disk drives; solid-state drives should be left to Windows’ own optimizer.
Process Manager
A detailed task manager that shows what each running process is and how much it uses.
Erase traces and protect files
Tracks Eraser
Clears browsing history, cookies, recent-document lists and other usage traces from Windows and popular apps.
File Shredder
Overwrites files before deleting them so they can’t be recovered with undelete tools.
Wipe Free Space
Overwrites the empty space on a drive so files you deleted earlier can’t be brought back.
File Encrypter & Decrypter
Protects sensitive files with a password so only you can open them.
See where your space went
Disk Analyzer
Shows which folders and file types use the most space, so you know where to clean first.
File Undelete
Attempts to recover files deleted by mistake, as long as the space hasn’t been overwritten.
File Splitter & Joiner
Splits large files into smaller parts for transfer and joins them back together.
Context Menu Manager
Tidies the right-click menu by disabling entries added by programs you rarely use.

What it does
A maintenance toolbox for everyday Windows PCs
Windows collects clutter over time: temporary files, caches, leftovers from uninstalled programs, broken shortcuts and a growing list of apps that launch at startup. Glary Utilities brings the tools to deal with all of that into one window, so you don’t have to hunt through Windows settings or install a separate tool for each job.
It suits home users who want a quick tidy-up, families looking after several PCs and technicians who carry the portable edition on a USB drive. Learn how we research and test on our About page.
Low on disk space
Disk Analyzer shows what is filling the drive; Disk Cleaner and Duplicate Files Finder reclaim the space.
Slow startup
Startup Manager reveals everything that launches with Windows, so you can disable or delay what you don’t need.
Selling or sharing a PC
Tracks Eraser, File Shredder and Wipe Free Space remove personal traces before the computer changes hands.
Installation & first use
From setup to your first clean-up
Installing takes about a minute; the first scan a few more. Windows needs administrator permission to install it.
- 1
Run the installer
Double-click gusetup.exe and approve the Windows User Account Control prompt.
- 2
Choose options carefully
Read each screen. Untick any optional offers or extra software you don’t want, and choose the install folder.
- 3
Launch Glary Utilities
Open it from the desktop shortcut or Start menu. The Overview tab shows the main tools.
- 4
Create a restore point
Before the first big clean, use Windows System Restore (or the built-in backup in Registry Repair) so you can roll back.
- 5
Run 1-Click Maintenance
Tick the items you want, press Scan for Issues, review the results, then press Repair Problems.
- 6
Set your preferences
In Settings, decide whether Glary Utilities starts with Windows and how often it checks for updates.
Using the portable edition? Extract guportable.zip to a folder or USB drive and run the program inside it. Nothing is installed, and you can remove it by deleting the folder.

Troubleshooting
Common problems and fixes
Problem
Browser blocks the download
Fix
Some browsers warn about any .exe file. Open the browser’s download list, choose Keep, and confirm the file name is gusetup.exe from download.glarysoft.com. Never turn off your antivirus to install software.
Problem
A program stopped working after cleaning
Fix
Open Registry Repair’s Restore option (or Windows System Restore) and roll back the last change, then exclude that item next time.
Problem
Windows starts slower than before
Fix
Glary Utilities can add its own startup tasks. In Startup Manager, delay or disable non-essential items, including optional Glary helpers.
Problem
Disk Defrag on an SSD
Fix
Solid-state drives don’t need defragmenting. Leave SSDs to Windows’ built-in Optimize Drives tool.
Problem
Cleaner deletes saved logins
Fix
Tracks Eraser can clear browser cookies, which logs you out of websites. Untick Cookies for browsers where you want to stay signed in.
Problem
Portable version won’t open
Fix
Extract the whole ZIP first (right-click > Extract All). Running it from inside the ZIP viewer doesn’t work.
Best practices
- Update regularly — check Glarysoft’s release notes for what changed.
- Back up first — create a restore point before large clean-ups.
- Review before deleting — untick items you don’t recognise.
- Clean on a schedule — once a month is enough for most PCs.

1-Click Maintenance gives a quick monthly tidy-up without learning a dozen separate tools.
Great fit
Technicians
The portable edition on a USB stick covers clean-ups, uninstall leftovers and startup checks on customer PCs.
Less suited
Speed seekers on new PCs
A modern PC with an SSD gains little from registry cleaning; Windows’ own tools may be enough.
FAQ
Glary Utilities questions, answered
01Is Glary Utilities free?
Yes. The standard edition of Glary Utilities is free for personal use and includes 1-Click Maintenance and the main toolbox. Glary Utilities Pro is a paid upgrade (list price $39.95 per year for up to 3 PCs) that adds automatic, scheduled maintenance and other extras.
02Where does the download button take me?
Nowhere — the file downloads directly from Glarysoft’s official server, download.glarysoft.com, and you stay on this page. The installer is gusetup.exe (about 27 MB); the portable edition is guportable.zip (about 32 MB).
03What is the latest version?
Version 6.50.0.54, released on November 9, 2026. You can read Glarysoft’s official release notes for the details of each build.
04Does Glary Utilities work on Windows 11 and Windows 10?
Yes. Glarysoft lists support for Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and XP, including 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
05Is there a Mac, Linux or Android version?
No. Glary Utilities is a Windows program. Apps on other platforms using the Glary name are not this software — read our guide on Glary Utilities for Android.
06Installer or portable — which should I choose?
Choose the installer for your own PC: it adds shortcuts, updates and optional startup integration. Choose the portable ZIP for USB drives, repair kits or computers where you don’t want to install anything.
07Is Glary Utilities safe?
The installer is digitally signed by Glarysoft Ltd, which has made the software since 2003. As with any cleaner, review what it plans to remove, keep the registry backups it creates and avoid deleting items you don’t recognise.
08Do I need a registry cleaner?
Usually not for speed. Microsoft doesn’t support registry cleaners, and cleaning the registry rarely makes a modern PC faster. Glary’s Registry Repair is most useful for removing leftovers after uninstalling software — and it backs up changes first.
09What does Glary Utilities Pro add?
Pro adds automatic and scheduled maintenance, deeper cleaning options, automatic update checks and free technical support from Glarysoft. A 30-day free trial is available from Glarysoft.
10Will it slow down my PC?
Glary Utilities can start with Windows to run background checks. If you prefer, turn off automatic startup in its settings and run it manually once a week or month.
11Is Glary Utilities 5 still available?
Glary Utilities 6 replaced version 5. Install the current 6.x release to get the latest fixes and Windows 11 improvements.
12How do I uninstall it?
Open Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Glary Utilities and choose Uninstall. The portable edition is removed simply by deleting its folder.
