To ensure that an OS remains fully functional, you must implement a preventive maintenance plan. A preventive maintenance plan provides many benefits to users and organizations such as decreased downtime, improved performance, improved reliability, and lower repair costs.
In a minimum of 175 words, describe at least 3 Windows tools or utilities researched on the Internet that you should include and perform in a Preventive Maintenance Plan.
1.CCleaner : WIth the hlp of two tools, CCleaner will provide you with preventive maintenance and help keep the "evil" out of your device. Not only does CCleaner keep the cache of your disc clean, it can keep errors away from your registry. Over time, any of these problems will result in a machine running less than effectively or, in worst case cases, not at all running.
2. MemTest : MemTest is a basic test tool that tests if your device can store data in its RAM in a secure manner. This tool helps you to specify the amount of memory to test and then run the test (with all apps closed).If you are reporting a mistake, your RAM is suspicious. The only downside to MemTest is that it can't distinguish which memory chip is poor.
3.HDD Scan :It supports standard drives, RAID arrays, Flash USB, and SSD drives as a free hard disc diagnostic tool. You can search for errors (bad blocks and bad sectors), view S.M.A.R.T. attributes, and adjust a small range of HDD parameters (such as AAM and APM) using this tool. You can prevent a catastrophic catastrophe by consistently using this tool (not only when there seems to be a problem).
