I have a PC cleaner that I typically use to eliminate temporary files and anything I might have overlooked. Recently, the app has alerted me that my PC is in 'critical' condition, and I've been experiencing more blue screens than usual—even when I'm not running demanding programs. I'm considering whether upgrading might help, but I'm unsure if it's worth the hassle. Can anyone provide guidance on this? Also, I'm running Windows 11, in case that's relevant.

I've heard mixed things about PC cleaners. They can help free up space but sometimes they remove files critical for stability. In general, I'd be cautious about relying on them too heavily. A good practice is to maintain backups before trying any major clean-up.
It sounds like you're having a rough time with those blue screens! First off, you might want to check for dump files since they can help diagnose what's causing the crashes. Look in C:WindowsMinidump for any files—if you find some, zip them up and share them on a file-hosting site like MediaFire or catbox.moe. This info can really help narrow down the issue!
Using a cleaner can be beneficial if you're running low on space, like after transferring a lot of files, but it might not fix the underlying issues causing your crashes. Focus on investigating those blue screens first. Let’s see how the SFC scan goes!
Before diving into cleaner tools, I'd suggest running an SFC scan to check for any corrupted system files that might be affecting stability. Just open a command prompt and type in 'sfc /scannow'—it's a straightforward way to see if repairs are needed.
