Windows 10: Are Registry Cleaners Still Needed on Windows 10?

The favorite argument here seems to be: "When I uninstall software...". How many then, just have these items ticked? Hmmmm?

Not in my world. . .*Smile

 

Here Is Mine Cliff, and I have not added or changed one thing before posting this pic. Only thing is, like I've said many times, CCleaner is still a VERY Mild registry cleaner. *Smile

 

So it cleans much less cleaning than "harsh"ones ? What happens with the stuff it missed comparing to other ones, doesn't that slow system down ? If it's so "mild" doesn't that leave even more important things out ?
Like washing your hands with mild soap, kills mild bacteria but leaves deadly ones which a harsh soap would kill.

 

LoL Hi Mike..... All I mean is as far as registry cleaners go.....I have 3 on my system.....CCleaner does not see everything compared to other reg cleaners. Its mild. Like Revo Uninstaller Pro that YOU use, it finds about 80 to maybe 85% of the leftovers in your registry, but Revo still does not find everything that the program your uninstalling leaves in the registry. If I run CCleaner right now, it will find no errors in my registry. I could run my other reg cleaner, and it would find some. I would never tell anyone to run
3 reg cleaners. That is MY choice from over 15+ years of using them. All we are talking right now is cleaning the registry, wonder what folks would say about defragging and then compressing your registry?? lol Which, one of my reg cleaners can also do.
Bottom line is simple for me, I've always used them, never had serious problems doing so, and will continue to use them. You could go back 7, 8, maybe 10 years and look at msg boards, and this discussion was going on back then too.
Its the users Choice....plain and simple. Either you use them, or you don't. That is the users choice, as its THEIR system.

I know it's a choice but kinda interferes with cold logic.

 

Depends on who's "cold logic" I guess.....lol

 

Except there's no my or your logic, it's impersonal, like math.

 

I always hated math.....grrrrr lol I will never try to change your mind, plus.....I like you....you old fart!!! Think we might even be close in age.....course MY beard is much neater looking then yours. *Smile

 

Hi,

People should try running a thorough registry cleaner just to see how much useless keys are already present right after the install is finished.
Dot net framework also is notorious for adding pointers to a ton of files that aren't there, Silverlight, same story etc. , etc.
The more you use that pc, the bigger the registry gets because Windows just keeps track of things most aren't aware of.

After every monthly check you can be sure you can delete 50 odd keys from the registry. Not that they're harmful per se but why keep trash if you can get rid of it?

Would leaving these keys in be causing trouble in the future ? Who knows, we've just starting to use this OS anyhow.

In the mean time, I like to keep things mean and lean. With a decent registry cleaner you'd really have to be "stupid" to run into trouble and besides, a decent registry cleaner automatically backs up whatever it removes so what's the big deal ?

I take no fun out of reinstalling Windows, especially not one that comes with so many errors that need manual fixing anyway....

But, but, but.... I'm only 68 and my beard is older than most people i know (the rest are dead) !!!!
Yes Mr. Spock is my idol.

 

Ok then I'm the young pup then as I am only 65, and Spock was my 2nd favorite....Kirk was my favorite.

 

Lt. Uhura was nice too.

Easy to do if using Edge as a browser.
