I've always found this to be a good reliable piece of software.
However, it now appears incompatible with my PC, a Lenovo laptop, running Windows 11.
I've tried downloading it, including older versions, and while it does download, details are shown in a magnified way which hides most of the information and features I can see.
I've tried Ctrl + and Ctrl - on my laptop, but to no effect, so I've had to uninstall it, because it's adversely affecting the integrity of the whole operating system, i.e. everything is too big.
Any suggestions how to fix it please? By the way, I also have CCleaner and that's working fine but I (did) prefer Glary Utilities.
Thank you.

Have you tried the portable version?

Up to a few weeks ago never any problems running the programme, so a little reluctant about using the portable version.0 -
1. I gave up using CCleaner and switched to Wise Disk Cleaner years ago.
I use the portable version & have never had problems with it.
2. You can get Wise Disk Cleaner in normal & portable versions.
If you want to give it a try look here:

1. Have you downloaded the latest version of Glary Utilities which is compatible with Windows 11?
2. The Window 10 & 11 versions, may have different settings applied to them for some reason.1 -
Hi Eyeful. I'm sure I have. Like I said, up to a few weeks ago, no problem.
I'll probably just stick with CCleaner, although may give Wise Disk Cleaner a go, as helpfully recommended by you. Thanks.
That said, one of the things I liked about Glary Utilities was that is has a tracks eraser option, which I'm not sure if other programmes have. Anyway I notice they have a standalone tracks eraser site, which I've downloaded and it seems to be working fine on my PC.
Thanks again.0
