Now the market is full of various utilities that are used to optimize and clean Windows. Unfortunately, when using them, problems often arise, and sometimes you have to resort to a complete reinstall of the system. That is why we recommend using the famous CCleaner utility.
But how to fix the registry error with its help? Very simple: run the program, click on the tab with the name "Registry". After you check the boxes next to the necessary items (or better just leave the settings intact), you need to click on the “Search for problems” button. The application will automatically check the system registry for obsolete and simply erroneous entries.
How to avoid unpleasant consequences?
The program is completely free and perfectly Russified. It lacks useless features like integration with social networks or backups. That is why you can fix registry errors without being distracted by unnecessary “tinsel”. Unfortunately, such a wise approach is not characteristic of all manufacturers of free programs.
Depending on the power of your computer, the utility will display the result of its searches after a while. Before you fix the registry error in automatic mode, you can select the option of manual correction. Before starting the correction, we recommend that you make a full backup in case you are not too sure about the correctness of your actions. If after cleaning something goes wrong, you can always restore all the important parameters from the copy.
But if you did not touch anything in the application settings, then it is unlikely to come to this. The program will automatically select the best method for correcting invalid entries.
It is better to repeat the above steps two times to ensure the complete absence of "garbage" in the system.
And if you want to clean up the hard drive by removing everything unnecessary from it, run the program again, select the cleaning item, and then click on the analysis button. Before starting the process, we strongly recommend that you close all browsers installed in the system, otherwise the application will not be able to correctly determine how many extra files they have accumulated during their work. By the way, before you start cleaning, you can go to the application menu, noting those that need to be checked. Since this program for fixing errors in the registry is extremely “smart”, do not worry about mistakenly deleting something you need.
What should not be touched in the settings
However, we warn you in advance that it is better not to touch many items on this list, to leave the previously set values. Before you fix the registry error, carefully read these items again:
- Almost all installed programs leave traces in the registry, most of which no one needs. Only in this case you decide which of the files should be left and which are better to delete. If you don’t understand anything about this, it’s best not to get carried away.
- Most of the files you marked can be deleted without any damage to the system. But thoughtless removal often manifests itself in the form of programs that can not start, as well as system crashes on a blue screen.
- Be very careful about the Windows section. As the name implies, it contains functions that can directly affect the performance of the entire system. Get carried away - you have to go through the OS recovery procedure
So, back to the analysis process. The program will scan all files and then report back to you about the results. The scanning process may take some time, which depends on the size of your hard drive, as well as on the clutter of the system. After analysis, you must click on the "Cleanup" button, after which all the "garbage" will go into oblivion.
We hope that we were able to explain to you how to fix the registry error!
