How to Install Microsoft PC Manager on Windows 11
Microsoft PC Manager is a free system optimization tool made by Microsoft that cleans junk files, boosts memory, and runs security checks to speed up Windows 11. The app works on Windows 11 and Windows 10 computers to help fix lag and free up storage space.
Unwanted temporary files and background apps pile up over time and slow down your PC. Clearing out these leftover files helps your computer run smoothly again.
Download Microsoft PC Manager from the Microsoft Store, its official website, or by using the winget command in Windows Terminal. The Microsoft Store method is the easiest, as the app installs automatically after clicking “Get”.
Method 1Install from the Microsoft Store
Install Microsoft PC Manager on your Windows 11 PC directly from the Microsoft Store.
Click the Get button on the listing page to trigger the download.
Wait for the download to finish. The app installs automatically. Click Open once the process completes.
Method 2Download the EXE File
Manual downloads serve as an alternative if the store integration fails:

Click the Download button on the page.
Locate the installer inside your Downloads folder, then double-click the file to launch the setup wizard.
Method 3Use the Winget Command
Windows Terminal (a text-based interface for running commands) lets you install Microsoft PC Manager quickly by running a short command. Open Windows Terminal, paste the install command, and press Enter to finish setting it up without clicking through a web browser.
Open the Windows Terminal app. Open either a Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt tab inside the console.
Copy and paste this command:
winget install 9pm860492szd
Press Enter to execute the command. Accept the license terms when prompted to complete the installation.
