• Combined memory cleaning. This feature releases combined memory blocks that are no longer in use by applications. The system retains these blocks for possible quick reuse, but sometimes it is necessary to free them for new allocations. The operation helps when running applications that require large amounts of RAM.
• System cache release. The feature removes data stored in the system cache that is not critical for current operations. This data may include recently read files or information from closed applications. Releasing this cache provides additional memory for priority tasks.
• Standby cache cleaning. This operation removes memory pages marked as standby, which contain data that might be needed but are not actively in use. Cleaning this cache frees up space for applications requiring immediate access to additional memory.
• Modified cache cleaning. The feature processes memory pages that have been modified but not written to disk. These pages are written to the paging file and then released. The process ensures changes are saved before reusing the memory space.
• Real-time statistics. The interface displays updated information on physical and virtual memory usage. Indicators include total memory, memory in use, and available memory. Graphs allow monitoring of memory behavior after each cleaning operation.
• Automatic cleaning configuration. Users schedule cleaning operations at regular intervals. The system executes selected tasks without manual intervention after setting the timer. This feature maintains consistent levels of available memory during extended sessions.
• Automatic startup. The application can start with the operating system. This option makes the tool always available without needing to open it manually. The setting is adjusted from the program preferences.
• Background execution. The program operates with an icon in the system tray when minimized. Silent mode does not interfere with other applications while performing its functions. Optional notifications inform about completed activities.
• Hotkey cleaning. Assigning shortcut keys to initiate cleaning operations without opening the main interface. Users customize key combinations for different types of memory release. This feature streamlines the process during intensive work with applications.
• Activity log. The system saves a detailed history of all operations performed. The log includes a timestamp, cleaning type, and amount of memory freed. The data is useful for analyzing memory usage patterns over time.
• Multilingual interface. Support for several languages including Spanish, English, Portuguese, and others. Users select their preferred language from the settings menu. The translation covers all interface elements and documentation.
• Portable mode. The application runs without installation from a USB drive or local folder. It does not leave entries in the Windows registry or files in system directories. This feature facilitates temporary use on different computers.

Windows Memory Cleaner was created by Igor Mundstein. Development began in 2016 as a personal project. The tool is programmed in C# using .NET Framework. Regular updates add compatibility with new versions of Windows and performance optimizations. The source code is available on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license.
