Description

Hi @Belim

I think users might appreciate a kind of this feature, if you agree that such operations are "in scope" for your application. If you choose implementing one or more of the following it would turn from a fire and forget app into an actual tool, used more frequently. This **might** please people that do not see the benefit of WinUI3 because it requires them to have .net 10 desktop runtime installed or rely on prepackaging as you choose with WinSlopr.

The availability of PC Manager in Europe - for unclear reasons - is not given. I found a way to install this appx anyway and it will get updated while original installation from Store is blocked.

### Feature requests for Fluentweaker:

**Windows Cleanup:**
cleanups that are meaningful, beyond Settings > Storage > Temporary Files or deprecated Cleanmgr.exe

**Propose unused apps for cleanup**
as you already support winget integration, the idea of analyzing for unsused apps, on top of installing or updating should make sense. I personally appreciate computers that only have a set of applications and frameworks installed that are in use. I could assist you with my "best practices" about things I'd remove. Including deprecated Windows Optional Features.

**Analyzing Win32 Apps**
Microsoft is finally moving forward, enabling an optional SysWOW64 removal. See Windows Server Insider. Fluenttweaker might help users understanding and identifying which 32bit apps are still in use. Easiest way is get-process and the information about process architecture.
