Cleanup Premium 21.4 Build 11223 ^new^ — Avast

Background applications frequently consume CPU cycles and RAM, even when not actively in use. Avast’s proprietary Sleep Mode addresses this issue directly.

: Detects resource-heavy application background processes and puts them into a dormant state. This stops software from draining CPU cycles and RAM when not actively in use.

Crucially, it always prompts to and a full registry backup before any changes. In Build 11223, Avast reduced the number of “high-risk” alerts to less than 2% of detected issues, focusing only on verifiably safe deletions.

This build is particularly noteworthy for its —fewer critical system files flagged for deletion—a common pain point in earlier cleanup utilities. Avast Cleanup Premium 21.4 Build 11223

While version 21.4 Build 11223 was generally stable, subsequent builds (like 21.4.11361) revealed that certain cleanup operations could, in some cases, interfere with other applications. For instance, a post on the Avast community forum indicated that the “System junk” cleaner could break iTunes functionality by removing necessary files. Avast support recommended using their Support Tool to gather logs for investigation when such problems arose.

By removing these obsolete files, the software reclaims valuable storage space, which is especially critical for optimizing smaller Solid-State Drives (SSDs). 3. Browser Cleanup and Privacy Protection

: Scans the operating system for pre-installed factory software, trial programs, and forgotten browser extensions. It uses a cloud-based reputation engine to advise users on which applications are safe to uninstall. This stops software from draining CPU cycles and

Compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and other Chromium-based browsers. It clears tracking cookies, cached images, and browsing history to protect privacy and free up drive space.

Build 11223 improved the —users can permanently exclude apps like Steam downloads, Slack, or Zoom from being slept.

Employs a simplified dashboard dashboard system broken down into four quadrant readouts: Speed Up, Free Up Space, Fix Problems, and All Functions. This allows immediate deployment of optimizations with minimal configuration. Share public link This build is particularly noteworthy for its —fewer

This build ensures that maintenance routines are safe for modern hardware. Traditional defragmentation is disabled for SSDs to prevent unnecessary write cycles, utilizing the native TRIM command instead to optimize solid-state storage safely.

Now identifies deeper system logs and temporary files left by recent Windows updates.

A signature feature. Sleep Mode identifies applications consuming over 10% CPU or 200MB RAM while running in the background for more than 10 minutes without user interaction. It then them (like Windows’ own “Eco mode” but more aggressive) and resumes them instantly when you click their window.

: Avast revamped its system junk detection algorithms, resulting in a Disk Cleaner scan that is now up to 50% faster than in previous versions. This significant speed boost means less waiting and more time for productive work.

Before deployment, ensure the system environment meets the following baseline hardware and software specifications. Requirement Specification
