As long as the computer is new, it works much faster. Over time, due to frequent searches for information on the Internet, endless installation and removal of programs, the system registry gets clogged, thereby reducing the speed of the entire operating system.
What is the registry in a computer
An operating system is an intermediary between the computer's hardware, software, and the end user. Windows manages all actions that occur during the operation of the computer, so the operating system must have access to all the necessary data related to the operation of devices and programs. For this, Windows has a special hierarchical database containing all the information about the parameters and settings of the hardware and software.
The database is the Windows registry or the system registry that runs in constant mode. From the first installation and launch of the drivers, the system undergoes changes, and along with this, the registry is clogged. Errors accumulate, unnecessary file extensions, dummy keys, outdated programs and their fragments - all these are remnants of the former activity of viruses. The gradual filling of the computer register negatively affects the speed and quality of the entire computer system. That is why it is necessary to keep the registry in order.
How to clean the registry on a computer
There are many ways to clean your computer registry. One of them is the use of service programs, utilities that work with the registry. Using the utilities is quite convenient and does not take much time. As a rule, the cleaning technology with such programs is monotonous.
At startup, the registry is scanned by the program. If some chain of data is "crammed" with unnecessary information, then it opens very slowly. On this basis, the utility finds areas of the system that need to be removed or recycled.
The second way is to manually clean the registry. Here you can use the regedit command. To do this, open the Run command line in the Start menu. In this window, the regedit command is entered. Further, by searching, branches are found whose values must be corrected or deleted. The only drawback of this program is that all recovered records with the specified parameters are displayed one by one, which takes a lot of time.
It is also possible to use a more powerful utility for manual registry cleaning. Registry Crawler - this utility has a more convenient search, and after cleaning, the program immediately displays all records with the specified parameters.
