Hello everybody!
This video will show you how to clean the registry, what programs can be used and how
to do it manually.
Sooner or later, everyone using a computer faces the problem of its performance getting
worse and errors appearing when Windows boots or when you start other programs.
In the end, you realize it's time to clean the registry.
There are numerous programs to optimize the work of your computer and clean the registry.
In this video, we will have a look at the most popular apps.
So, let's begin.
CCleaner CCleaner is one of the most popular and well-known
tools to clean the computer registry.
In addition, it has lots of functions to optimize your PC in every way.
They include a system cleaner, a software uninstaller and startup management.
Its latest versions support uninstalling Windows 10 standard applications.
You can download the program from the official website.
Find the download link in the description.
First of all, download and install the program, and you're not likely to have any difficulties
at this stage.
The only important aspect is to check the language settings in the upper left corner
- the default language is English.
After the installation, run the program, go to the tab "Registry," click on "Scan
for issues" and wait a little.
When the scan is over, click on "Fix selected issues..."
The program will suggest you to save a registry backup copy, and you should do it to be on
the safe side; in case you have any problems, you can always restore the registry to the
previous condition.
You can save the backup to your desktop, for example.
Now click on "Fix all selected issues" and the registry will be cleaned.
Run the scan again - no issues are found.
If you use the previously saved backup copy, it is supposed to restore to the registry
the data deleted by the application.
Wise Care 365
Wise Care 365 is another program to help you clean the registry.
This software package includes a Windows registry cleaner, a hard disk optimizer, as well as
other system utilities to make your PC work faster and better.
You can find the download link in the description Run the program and click on System Cleaner
to clean the registry.
The first line on the list is Registry Cleaner, so click on Scan.
After the scan, the program will show you information on any registry problems.
Select cleaning and the registry is now clean and sound.
Manual cleaning
The larger your registry grows, the worse your computer performs.
Registry cleaner utilities are not an ideal tool for removing unnecessary lines from the
registry.
It is because they do their cleaning job based on a certain set of rules which may not work
with your registry.
If you are an expert user, you can clean the registry manually by removing the entries
left by the programs that have been uninstalled long ago, or remove programs from the startup
section.
You should always remember that wrong cleaning can damage your operating system.
That is why we recommend manual registry cleaning to experienced users only.
Now before you start it, press the key shortcut Win+R, enter "regedit" in the window that
opens and click OK.
You should always back up your registry so that you can restore everything if things
go wrong.
Click File/Export, specify the name and click Save.
You can watch one of our videos to see how to restore the registry from a backup.
Find the link in the description.
If you know the name of the program that has been uninstalled, you can delete the files
left behind in the registry or a virus that is hiding there.
To do it, click Edit/Find, enter the program name and click Find Next.
In the course of the search, we can see a registry file of an uninstalled program which
we don't need anymore.
Right-click on it and select Delete.
In addition, you can follow the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software и HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE to view and
clean folders of the previously removed programs.
If you have a 64-bit operating system, you will also see a folder named WOW6432Node containing
a list of installed programs as well.
With the Registry Editor, you can also remove entries from the startup menu.
Startup settings deal with two registry keys with the folder Run:
In Windows 7 and 10, they can be found by following the path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run – the
startup folder of the current user; In the same path, but in the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run – there is also a folder named Run, but
this is a startup location for all users.
Select the unnecessary program, right-click on it and select Delete.
If you suspect there is a virus in your computer, there is a good video in our channel about
finding the malware in your registry and removing it.
Find the link in the description.
Modifying the registry with Windows registry editor is a risky process as it doesn't
have the Cancel function (which you'll need when you accidentally remove a good registry
key).
If you are new to this process, just don't edit the registry manually.
And before you start doing it, make sure you have made a backup copy.
If you have even the slightest doubts whether you should delete a registry key or not, never
delete it if you're not absolutely sure that you don't need it.
You can always look it up on the Internet.
That is all for now.
