CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING:
ALWAYS perform a FULL SYSTEM RECOVERY BACKUP!
ALWAYS backup important data before running ANY maintenance script!
ALWAYS create a System Restore Point!
While this script has a 98% safety rating and includes automatic system restore point creation, NO maintenance tool is 100% risk-free. Professional best practice requires:
- Complete data backup to external drive or cloud storage
- Verify System Restore is enabled on system drive
- Ensure adequate free disk space for restore points
- Close all applications and save work before running
- Connect laptops to power during maintenance

Safety Information
| Component | Safety Level | Potential for Damage |
|---|---|---|
| User Temp Cleanup | 100% | Extremely safe. These files are designed to be temporary and are not critical for system operation or user data. |
| Windows Temp Cleanup | 100% | Extremely safe. Similar to user temp files, these are system-level temporary files that Windows safely removes. |
| Prefetch Files Cleanup | 99% | Very safe. These files help speed up application loading. Deleting them is harmless but might cause a slight, temporary slowdown on the first launch of an application until new prefetch data is rebuilt. |
| Recent Docs History Clear | 100% | Extremely safe. Only clears shortcuts/links to recently accessed files, not the files themselves. |
| Empty Recycle Bin | 99% | Very safe. Permanently deletes files that the user has already sent to the Recycle Bin. The only "risk" is deleting something they might have wanted to restore from the Recycle Bin. |
| Flush DNS Cache | 100% | Extremely safe. Clears a local cache of website IP addresses. No impact on system functionality or files. |
| Disk Cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) | 100% | Extremely safe. This is a built-in Microsoft utility. It only targets files that are specifically designated as disposable by the operating system. |
| BleachBit (Limited Scope) | 95% | Generally very safe with the specified limited options. BleachBit is configured to use only very safe system-level cleaning categories. The primary external risk is downloading a counterfeit version from an unofficial site. |
| Create System Restore Point | 100% | Essential safety feature. Creates a restore point before making changes, allowing system rollback if needed. |
| System File Checker (sfc /scannow) | 99% | Very safe. Microsoft's System File Checker is designed to repair corrupted Windows system files using known good copies. In extremely rare cases of severe underlying corruption or hardware issues, it might fail to complete. |
| DISM /RestoreHealth | 98% | Very safe. Microsoft's Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool repairs the Windows component store. It's safe to run even on healthy systems. |
| Check Disk (chkdsk - Informational) | 100% | Extremely safe. This command only scans the disk for errors and reports them. It does not attempt any repairs, thus carries no risk of data modification or corruption. |
| Enhanced Microsoft Defender Configuration | 99% | Very safe. Configures Defender for maximum protection with real-time monitoring, cloud protection, and controlled folder access in audit mode. |
| Microsoft Defender Full System Scan | 99% | Very safe. Comprehensive system scan using built-in Windows security. May take several hours to complete. |
| Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSERT) | 95% | Generally safe. Official Microsoft malware removal tool. Downloads from Microsoft, runs scan, then automatically removes itself. |
| AdwCleaner (Malwarebytes) | 95% | Generally safe. Reputable tool for removing adware and PUPs. May remove some legitimate browser extensions. Auto-removed after use. |
| Microsoft Defender Offline Scan | 98% | Very safe but requires reboot. Runs before Windows starts, ideal for persistent threats and rootkits. |
| Windows Update (PowerShell PSWindowsUpdate) | 90% | Generally safe, but introduces the most variability. Updates can occasionally introduce bugs or compatibility issues with specific software/drivers. Critical updates might force reboots, potentially interrupting unsaved work. |
| Email Report (SwithMail) | 100% | No risk. Optional feature that emails the log file for record keeping. Requires SwithMail configuration. |
| TRMM Alert Integration | 100% | No risk. Placeholder for RMM webhook integration. Requires custom configuration. |
