PersonalCleaner v1.1

PersonalCleaner v1.1
Free, open-source Windows optimizer. This release adds a mini task manager and a one-click Explorer restart, plus an About screen.

What's new in v1.1
M4 — Close an app (mini task manager): see the programs using the most memory and which are frozen, then close any non-critical one (asks first).
M5 — Restart Explorer: fix a hung taskbar / desktop with one command — your other apps stay open.
I3 — About / version screen.
Docs updated (USER-GUIDE now covers the full menu).
Features (all free, MIT)
🧊 Catch frozen apps — detects "Not Responding" programs, offers to close them safely
🧠 Free up RAM — purges the cached (standby) memory when RAM is high
🧹 Clean junk — removes old temp / Windows Error Reporting files + empty Recycle Bin (only files older than 24h)
🚀 Speed up boot — enable/disable startup programs by their real names
🪟 Close a stuck app — mini task manager
🔄 Restart Explorer — fix a hung taskbar/desktop
⚙️ Pro tune-ups — Defender folder/process exclusions for faster dev builds; curated service tuning
