Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of web content). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Red Button[1] is a closed-source utility for optimizing and cleaning 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems, developed by Pothos.[2][3]
Description
This utility[4] provides a tool for optimizing and cleaning Windows family operating systems.[5] Its features include cleaning the system from junk, thus reducing disk space, changing hidden system settings, increasing the speed and loading of programs/systems, scanning and fixing errors in the system registry, improving the performance of game programs, removing/hiding built-in Windows components, terminating dynamic libraries that are not currently in use.[6]
The entire mechanism of the system optimization program is programmed in a single button, whose actions can be configured in the utility's parameters. Red Button[7] also supports command line options.[8][9]
The following operating systems are currently supported: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 (x86), Windows 10 (x86), including 32- and 64-bit editions.[10]
