Hi, my PC seems very sluggish and I even have to wait for a long time to load up one new tab on the web browser. And mostly web browser would just directly get stuck there or crash down when I open many tabs and sites at the same time. Well, even I open some big programs while doing any other tasks like editing on Word or Excel document, my PC will get frozen a while and then a prompt pops up and says Windows explorer has stop working, and then I have wait for a few minutes until it goes back to normal. I guess there should be many junks and useless files generated in my PC and I need to clean to speed up PC’s performance, but I don’t know how to start and where to locate and clean up all junks and useless files. My stupid operation even would cause severe computer problem. I am not confident with it. Could you please help me?
What We should Know about Windows Registry?
Windows registry is essentially a massive internal database that contains crucial settings and configurations of programs and applications like system settings, system hardware, installed software and drivers and profile information. It is the recorder of all the acts of your pc. For example, it will record the URL of the site you browsed, the paths of pictures, documents, files or programs and applications you opened and also the details of programs you just have installed or uninstalled etc. All the acts you perform will be generated as entries in registry editor. What Registry records will be applied by system components, third party applications, hardware, user profiles, and other lots of system things.
Why We Have to Clean Up Window Registry? Is it Really helpful to Speed up PC’s Performance?
Windows indeed keeps updating the registry and fixing loopholes, but it can’t neaten or sort out itself well. And also entries will be easily added in registry by changes happen on computer while you copy, delete or move files, open documents, web browsers or other programs, surf on the Internet, change some settings of system or Internet, install new drivers or programs and uninstall unwanted programs etc. Hence, as the time passes, many old entries will gradually litter and pile up registry when you install and uninstall programs or perform any other tasks on PC.
