Cleaning or "optimize" software for win 11

Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! I'm writing here to ask if anyone knows of any computer software that can 'optimize' a PC—for example, clean it up or update drivers (or at least notify you if they need updating).

I'm just curious if there's any nice-to-have software that can help keep your PC in top shape. I've come across a company called Avira, but it seems to require payment. I also have a friend who bought some software on Steam, but cleaner-type software has always seemed like either a scam or a virus to me.

Thanks for your time!

Aside occasionally GPU drivers and, for AMD at least, chipset drivers, you don't need to update drivers constantly. Just maybe check every 6 to 12 months on chipset drivers and only if you have game issues with new games for new GPU drivers. Otherwise just leave things once installed.

 

Edit:

As for any "cleaning" optimization software, all junk for the most part. Just use Windows built in stuff.
