Of more use is the Rescue Centre, from which you can safely undo changes that the app has made. There’s an option to turn on the automatic updating of your apps, but it’s worth noting that it didn’t seem to pick up on every app we had installed - while it assessed Opera and VLC for updates, Chrome and OpenOffice were missed. In our case we had a drive that had never been scanned for errors, and three installed apps that were in need of updating. The next major tab in the app is Fix Problems, which contains links to issues the app has found with your computer. We liked the bar charts that show how severe the slowdown effect is, however. This part of the app duplicates something you get for free in Windows 10, although there’s a slightly more user-friendly shell on it here.

This was probably true, but some were essential to the running of the computer, so we weren’t about to take its word for it and put all the apps to ‘sleep’. Speed Up found a lot of start-up programs it claimed were slowing down the start-up of our test PC.
