You know that phrase “there’s an app for that?” Well now we can say that about battery optimisation and Windows 8, because yes, there’s an app for that.
Launched as a free download by Iolo, the Winspresso optimisation app scans your Windows 8 computer for apps running idle that could be stealing some memory when they’re not doing anything.
Once found, the app releases the used resources and allows Windows 8 to function better, a result that aims to improve battery life while helping overall performance.
It’s available free for Windows 8 and Windows RT – yes, even people who bought a Microsoft Surface can grab it – and works with Iolo’s System Mechanic software, in case you’re interested in doing more than just free up resources and want to look at the total health of your computer.
