This facility improves the performance of the endpoints by defragmentation and by cleaning unwanted and junk files and invalid and obsolete registry entries. While you work in applications, computers write junks on the drives or when you visit Websites, temporary files are created on your computer. Such junks and files occupy spaces in the memory resulting in slowing down of the endpoints. Tuning up your computers cleans up these files improving their performance.
The Tuneup feature is available only in the clients with Windows operating systems.
The Tuneup feature is not available for Windows Server operating system.
To tune up the endpoints, follow these steps:
- Log on to the Seqrite Endpoint Security Web console.
- Go to Clients > Client Action > Tuneup. A window displaying all the groups appears. Each group includes the names of the endpoints belonging to the group.
- Under EPS Console, select a group for which you want to perform the tune up process. By default, it shows all the endpoints present under the EPS console. In the right pane, all the endpoints of a relevant group are displayed.
- Select an endpoint and then click Notify Start Tuneup.
Tuneup notifications are sent to the selected endpoints and tune up is performed on those endpoints.
You can stop Tuneup activity by clicking Notify Stop Tuneup at any time you prefer.

Tuneup Settings
These settings allow you to carry out different types of cleanups such as; disks, registry entries, or schedule a defragmentation at next boot.
To customize Tuneup settings, follow these steps:
- Log on to the Seqrite Endpoint Security Web console.
- Go to Clients > Client Action > Tuneup.
- On the Tuneup screen, click the Tuneup Settings button.
- On the Tuneup Settings popup, select any of the following:
- Disk Cleanup
- Registry Cleanup
- Defragment at next boot
However, all these options are selected by default.
- To save your settings, click Apply.
Disk Cleanup: Helps you find and remove invalid and unwanted junk files from the hard disk. These files consume hard disk space and slow down the system considerably. Disk Cleanup deletes these files and provide free space that can be used for other applications and helps in improving system performance. This feature also deletes temporary files, Internet cache files, improper shortcut files, garbage name files, and empty folders.
Registry Cleanup: Helps you remove invalid and obsolete registry entries from the system, such entries may appear due to improper uninstallation, non-existent fonts, etc. Sometimes during uninstallation, the registry entries are not deleted. This leads to slower performance of the system. The Registry Cleanup removes such invalid registry entries to increase the performance of the system.
Defragment: Helps you defragment vital files, such as page files and registry hives for improving the performance of the system. Files are often stored in fragments in different locations slowing down the system performance. Defragment reduces the number of fragments and clubs all the fragments into one contiguous chunk to improve system performance.
