Windows 10: How do I keep my PC clean?

I just reinstalled Windows 10 and I am as old as dirt. So, I really would not like to have to do that again until I am 80 years old.


How can I keep my PC clean without damaging it? I use disc cleanup, which is fine, but is that enough? I had been using CCleaner, but my computer crashed twice with the updated version. I mean TWICE!! that I had to reinstall Windows 10 on this PC in three days because of the CCleaner Pro. My old Dell computer just didn't like it!!


I had been using the free CCleaner, but I got nervous about that because OneDrive just didn't want to deal with it.


So, do I have options?


Thanks. PBerne

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

List your specs out and tell us each step in cleaning you did.

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
