# How to use Booster

Booster helps you review startup apps, services, scheduled tasks, and DNS settings that can affect everyday responsiveness.

Use Booster when your PC feels slow after sign-in, when background activity feels heavy, or when you want to review network-related DNS settings.

### Choosing the right Booster tool

* **Startup Apps:** Start here when your PC feels slow right after logging into Windows.
* **Services:** Use this only when you understand what the service does or support asked you to check it.
* **Scheduled Tasks:** Use this to review background jobs that run at certain times.
* **DNS Optimizer:** Use this when browsing feels slow or unreliable and you want to compare DNS providers.

### Safe Booster workflow

1. Open the eclean desktop app.
2. Go to **Booster**.
3. Choose one Booster tool at a time.
4. Read what the item does before changing it.
5. Apply one small set of changes.
6. Test the PC after the change.
7. Use the same tool page or **Booster History** to review or undo supported changes.
