![]() Regardless, whenever messing with the Registry, either by a 3rd party utility, or via Registry Editor, one should always run a backup first. There is no reason to believe they wouldn't remove the Registry cleaner too if it caused problems. So Speccy removed that function and no longer reports that. But with many motherboards, the reported values were way off, reporting 6.2V for the 12V value as an illustrating example. For example, Speccy, their HW information applet, used to report PSU voltages as found on the motherboard. After upgrading from W7 to W10, or W10 to W11, once sure everything works, I will run the cleaner.Īnd for the record, Piriform also has a history of removing features that don't work correctly. So, for example, if I replace a NVIDIA graphics card with an AMD (or the other way around), I will run the cleaner after the installation to clean out all the crud left behind by the removed card. One caveat/qualification - I never use the registry cleaner to "fix" a broken computer - only to maintain it. And I never, not once had it brick a computer. While anecdotal, I personally have used CCleaner's Registry cleaner on 100s of different computers, likely more than a 1000s times. But still, many simply lump all Registry cleaners in one evil heap and that does CCleaners an injustice. ![]() In fact, if anything, some would suggest it is not aggressive enough. Yes, decades ago, some registry cleaner were reckless and way too aggressive. It is unreasonable to assume such a popular and useful tool that's been around that long would still be on the market (or, as an included feature) if that harmful as some suggest. CCleaner has been around for close to 20 years. Having the ability to keep specific cookies during cleanup is invaluable to me.Īnd for the record, the claim that CCleaner's Registry cleaner can be harmful is misleading and totally exaggerated too. If you believe CCleaner is unsafe, then you should use no 3rd party cleaning tool and just stick with Windows own Disk Cleanup. Rather, it was caused by the new owners of Piriform (Avast) sticking their noses in the mix without doing their homework first. ![]() And it should be pointed out the issue that caused the most attention wasn't even caused by the developers of CCleaner (Piriform). And the problems were quickly addressed long ago. In this case, despite being all free, I do not recommend trying all of them because they could mess up your windows, but if you want to try, a virtual machine would be the best option.First and foremost, the few issues were minor, actually affected only a tiny number of the 10s of millions of users. However, on this occasion, if you seek something simple would opt for Bleachbit, but if you want something very complete, maybe the best option is Glary Utilities. It is difficult to choose a software that optimizes the equipment because many times the hardware and software do not help. It is a simple and free software and advertising program. This software is free and does not have as many tools as previous programs but the little that works, works very well. This software was born as a tool to optimize Gnu / Linux systems but it has become so popular that developers have ported it to Windows 10. Glary Utilities It has two versions like Nero TuneItUp, the Free being the free version. Glary Utilities not only allows the optimization of the hard disk or the registry but also helps us to have the best drivers for our team or look for the most optimal configuration of Windows 10 based on our needs. Glary Utilities has become very popular in recent months and not only because of the news from CCleaner but also because of the number of tools you have to optimize Windows 10. You can find both versions in the official website of the software. The latter is free but limited, while the former is premium and contains all the program's options. Nero TuneItUp has two versions: one Pro and one free. This software is quite interesting because it not only manages the Windows registry and the programs cache but also organizes operating system startup, optimizes web browsers for internet browsing, searches for updated drivers for our team and is responsible for optimizing in operation, emphasizing the aspect of energy saving. However, this time it does not burn dvd's but it helps us improve the functioning of Windows 10. This tool belongs to Nero, the famous disc burning software and company.
