Want the power of Windows' DISM tool without typing commands? Dism++ is a free, open-source graphical front end that brings Windows maintenance tasks into one portable tool. Its side menu provides access to cleanup, app management, driver removal, and system settings.
How does Dism++ clean up Windows?
The drive cleaner targets temporary files and other junk data. Dism++ also provides cleanup for update-related files, giving you a way to reclaim storage as part of routine system maintenance.
It also cleans out outdated drivers, and a system optimizer gathers common Windows tweaks. The program runs without installation, so it can be carried on a USB stick.
What can you manage from the side menu?
Dism++ groups its maintenance tools in a side menu. The app manager handles app-related tasks, while driver removal provides a separate place to manage drivers. A system optimizer and other smaller utilities round out the menu.
- Use the drive cleaner for temporary files and junk data.
- Open the app manager for app-related management.
- Choose driver removal to manage installed drivers.
Can Dism++ back up or recover Windows?
Yes. Dism++ can take a hot backup of the running system to a WIM image and restore it later. It converts between WIM and ESD images, turns ESD files into ISOs, and supports WIMBoot.
