Cleaning the registry Windows 7/8/10: optimization and removal of errors. Comparison of two copies of the registry: old and new

Good time everyone!

The system registry in Windows is a large database that stores settings and settings for applications, user profiles, presets, etc.

(although in my opinion, today, the registry is a whole bag of "crutches", which is more needed for compatibility with old software. But this is not about that ...) 😉

*

As in any database, over time (if it is not cleaned), it accumulates a large amount of "garbage" data: program settings that have long been deleted, erroneous information, "empty" lines, etc. 👀

All this can affect the performance of Windows. What's interesting: Windows itself does not provide a tool for cleaning and optimizing the registry (a little surprising 👌).

Below are some utilities that will help you "clean up" these Augean stables and make Windows more responsive. I think it will not hurt many!

Let's get down to business ... 👌

Registry cleaning and optimization

Method 1: use Wise Care 365

Website: //www.wisecleaner.com/

This program impresses with its minimalism, "simplicity" and efficiency!

After installing and launching it, you will see a window with several tabs: check, cleaning, optimization, privacy, system (there is still help, but I don’t consider it).

To tidy up the registry: you only need to press 2 buttons - first "Cleaning" (see what the utility finds), and the second "Optimization" . 👇

Simple, clear, concise! 👌

Registry Cleaner - Wise Care

By the way, I want to note that Wise Registry Cleaner makes a copy of the registry before any of its actions (just in case, the backup will never damage 👌).

Also would highlight the function by squeezing system registry and its defragmentation... After such a complex optimization, you often directly "feel" how Windows started to work a little more lively ... 👇

Registry Optimization (Compression + Defragmentation) - Wise Care

Advantages: there is an automatic mode. In it, the utility will run at the designated time, clean and optimize your system. It is very convenient in those cases when you regularly work at the PC, and you forget to launch the "cleaner" on time ... 😉

All in all, Wise Care leaves a very pleasant experience. I recommend that you "have a shortcut" of this program on your desktop, and clean up Windows "flaws" from time to time.

Note: the utility is free *, supports Russian, relevant for Windows 7, 8, 10 (32/64 bits). In terms of cleaning efficiency, it is one of the best in its segment.

Method number 2: using Reg Organizer

Website: //www.chemtable.com/

An excellent multifunctional utility for tidying up the entire system as a whole (and the system registry in particular). In this regard, in my humble opinion, one of the best of its kind. 👌

In her arsenal there is a comfortable express check system that will immediately give out the number of problems and offer to solve them. Note that the utility is free!

I definitely recommend to meet you.

Comparison of two snapshots (copies) of the registry

By the way, if we have already touched upon the Reg Organizer utility, I must also note that its arsenal has one useful option: creating registry snapshots and comparing them with each other.

This can be useful in those cases when you want to know what changes in the registry this or that program (for example).

*

How to do it

Run the program and open a tab "Comparing two registry states" ... Next, take a snapshot of the registry. 👇

Comparison of 2 registry snapshots

As a rule, the picture is taken quickly enough (2-3 minutes). By default, its name will be the same as the current date and day of the week. 👇

Registry snapshot created

Actually, when the snapshot is saved, you can "do something" with this or that program, and then go to Reg Organizer and compare the current state of the registry with the previous snapshot.

The difference will be shown quite clearly. 👇

PS

Since you are interested in optimizing the registry, I cannot but recommend the instruction инструкцию on optimizing the Windows 10 operating system. The article will help you increase the performance of your system (in some cases, significantly!), Reduce the number of errors, lags and freezes. 👌

I have everything on the topic of the question, additions (as always) are welcome ...

Happy work!
