It seems to me that they have just lumped together all the functions that have been normally available and made them easier to use.
I think it would have been a bit of a buzz if we had incorporated a registry cleanup.

How did I miss this thread...I'm slipping :)
That was one of my first thoughts, it just puts all of those steps I was manually doing, in one place.
If you have a device that maybe only has 8 GB of RAM, you may want to consider running it on demand, rather than allowing it to run at startup. It will still have its background running processes though, but just use about 1/2 the RAM.
Also, enabling the toolbar will wake more processes out of Efficiency Mode.

How do you disable the Microsoft periodic scanning it enables? i have tried to manually open windows security to disable it and it still shows up every time i restart L0L. unticking the setting is not working.

You're right, nice catch @nickstar1. It will only stay disabled if you uninstall PC Manager. It probably has to stay on, enabled, to allow the scan. I couldn't find a way to disable it in the PC Manager settings, either.

I meant the Feedback Hub, just to make sure we're on the same page.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness in posting that :)
I thought the same thing as I was typing it... "who's really going to see this anyway", is Bob sitting by himself at Feedback Hub (Starbucks) reading all of these, going to pass them along? :)

I did notice a higher CPU process while using the software, maybe a coincidence, but that process no longer shows at the top as it did after I uninstalled it. It was pretty consistent from 2 - 3.5% CPU.
