The last registry cleaner we added on MajorGeeks.Com was in July 2013! We no longer add stand-alone registry cleaners anymore, and now you know why. Speaking of which, if you like Tweaking.Com products, and who doesn't, they also have a registry compressor called - Registry Compressor. It might make you feel good, and it is another safe, reliable program. This defragments your registry like a good hard drive defrag and can improve performance, though I doubt you will notice without benchmarking. It resets all your Windows settings, including the registry, back to their default settings.įinally you can consider a registry defragmenter like Auslogics Registry Defrag. If you have a problem with your registry, you should seek help from someone in the know, like the Majorgeeks forums.Īll that said if you DO have a registry related problem, a free program like Tweaking.Com Windows Repair (All In One) can repair any registry issues it finds. The bottom line here? You won’t fix anything, but you might break something. Your computer will not run any faster by removing old registry entries. These are often left behind from programs that you uninstalled or updated.

Registry cleaners just remove old traces from your registry. It's an easy way to show your computer has "thousands" of problems, when in fact, there are none. Fixing registry errors have been used for many years as a sales tactic for some applications. People are often given the advice to download a registry cleaner by a well-meaning friend, for example. There are many safe, conservative registry cleaners but if you don't know what you're doing, they can be more trouble than they are worth. I have used it on many computers without issue. If CCleaner is safe and conservative, Wise Disk Cleaner is safe and aggressive. If you really want to clear a lot of space, this is your choice. It will clean what CCleaner will but goes much further showing large files taking up space, removing old Service Packs and more. Wise Disk Cleaner is perfect if you want to get more aggressive on cleaning your drive.
