There are loads of programs and utilities that claim to keep you Windows PC running sweetly.
Most at best just try to get you to buy a paid for version and at worse can mess up your computer badly.
However, just occasionally one comes along that is good (free version).
I have been using Advanced System Care by Aobit. It does all sorts of stuff and you have to use your judgement eg I never let anything like this near the registry but a lot is great.
Startup items - have a look at all the crap that loads when you boot ! In particular Scheduled Items that some startup utilities miss.
Uninstaller - much better than most although I prefer Revo but that costs.
Many others
nb - read recently that you should NEVER attempt to optimise or defrag etc a SSD disk. Not sure how qualified the author was but he sounded convincing !
Edit: One thing I like about this Advanced System Care is that it reports itself as a culprit that is slowing your computer
