RecentlyI ran the registry cleaner and everything was fine until I restarted my computer. The start up was extremely slow and when it finally opened the desktop all hell broke loose. It took about 10 whole minutes for all the icons on my computer to load. When I tried to click on anything like a folder or browser, it wouldn't open. The start menu also didn't open, nor the search bar or settings. After a couple of minutes a window pops up saying "Microsoft windows is not responding" and asks me to either end it or cancel. Whichever I click never made any difference because it still wouldn't respond. I tried restarting the computer a couple of times but every I time I did the same would happen. I tried looking up my problem online but I couldn't find anything similar. All the solutions always say to do something in the command prompt or the settings but I can't access neither. The only thing I can access is the advanced start up repair after turning my computer on and off three times. I did the start up repair and waited 19 hours for it finish. The repair didn't do anything, everything was still the same. I also came across a solution with completely reinstalling windows with it's usb but I don't have it.

@uuu the problem isn't that ccleaner's registry is dangerous, now as opposed to past, it's that you're using it wrong. Please take time to read my signature, in it is golden advice for registry cleaning, in ccleaner or any other reg cleaner. This advice has kept me bug free windows xp and all windows through windows 10


Another thing to avoid is using the Windows.old cleaner built into CCleaner (and possibly other 3rd party cleaning tools), it has been shown to damage something resulting in the need to reinstall Win10 but nothing has been done to fix the issue even though it has been reported multiple times.


I don't have a clue or any understanding of what I've read here this past half hour but it sure doesn't leave me with confidence in CCleaner. I'm more worried now than I was before I downloaded it. It sounds like if you run the wrong thing in CCleaner you can cause all sorts of issues with the computer.


agree with everyone, I am not sure I would run a registry cleaner on the server. maybe manually remove some old entries to uninstalled software but make sure you have a backup of registry as others have noted.


the malware traces on my server were directly linked to the registry, the server is mainly used as a mail service and got hit with mail virus spamming out emails. I got the virus removed and the machine cleaned up. I want the cleaner mainly for the purpose of verifying that everything is as it should be in the regisity as that is were the virus orgin was.


Remember, a registry cleaner program is not a regular PC maintenance tool. Registry cleaners don't typically speed up your computer or provide any other day-to-day improvements to your PC. Registry cleaners should only be used to help solve specific kinds of problems.


The download is a RAR file, meaning you'll need a program like 7-Zip to open it. Also, the default language for the program installer may be Estonian, but you can easily change it from the drop-down box.


Malwarebytes keep finding that my Wise Registry Cleaner program is a non-malware threat. It finds alot of reg entries and foldes and files. I use Wise Registry Cleaner for a number of tasks (registry cleaning is far from the only thing the program does). Anyway, I couldnt figure out how to allow everything Wise Registry Cleaner related, only folders and files, but that wont prevent Malwarebytes finding reg entries a threat. Its just annoying to see Malwarebytes mentioning every single day that it has found threaths. It has reached a point that I dont even check what has been found because I just assume it is still just Wise Registry Cleaner (as it have been the previous 50 days or how long it has been since it began finding it). So when an actual threat does come one day I most likely wont notice.... So how can I completely allow Wise Registry Cleaner?


Registry Cleaners are known to be harmful to the system and should not be used for any reason there is. It's a known fact that using these programs can easily break a Windows installation, to the point where a complete reinstallation might be needed. Here's a few myths about using these programs, and why they are just plainly false.






Registry Cleaners were used back in the days by developers who were using a OLE-schema for their applications. They used these to clean the Registry after uninstalling their programs, just in case there was traces of it left behind that could affect a reinstallation. These were back in the Windows 95 and Windows 98 days and this practice isn't in effect anymore. Therefore, there's no reason for you to use such programs and quite a few to avoid them instead.


It has a "Tune up" section where you can enable/disable many Windows settings which I find is much much easier than actually using Windows to do this (WIndows have these options scattered across many different control settings and in convoluted places, hidden away and whatnot).


Same problem reported with Auslogics. The issue is 2-fold. One they are PUPs. But some of us are OK with that. Setting them to "ignore always" works partially. There seems to be a path issue (or length?) that doesn't allow some "ignore always" to stick, while others for the same product are fine. I reported it earlier here:


I recently downloaded and reinstalled Wise Disk Cleaner and Wise registry Cleaner. I have used these programs for a long time with no problems. MWB started flagging this program some time ago and, like many, I told MWB to ignore it. But with this recent reinstall of the programs I began to see some problems and things I do not like.


First, My browser started crashing regularly - for unknown reasons. When I would run a MWB scan - Wise Euask folder would come up as flagged in my Appdata/Roaming folder. When I would delete it - things were fine - and then wham - it's right back again. Wise Euask is supposedly their new all encompassing community forum and fact finder for anything in the universe. Something when asked to sign up for - I decline by clicking the "not now" button in Wise Disk Cleaner. When I do that, it takes me directly to the Wise Euask website - If that isn't intrusive I don't know what is. I don't know why the Wise Euask folder is continually created in my Appdata/Roaming folder either. Really don't care - all I know is it IS causing problems.


Second, Wise registry cleaner gets more suspicious with all the pups and weird entries in my registry. When I reinstalled it I told MWB to ignore it this time also. But unlike in the past - it creates more and more crap for no apparent reason in my registry. It worked fine for 2 days and then - wham - MWB finds 89 entries from Wise Registry Cleaner - complete with PUPS and all kinds of other things. To me - this is a flag something is going on with this program that is not on the up and up.


When deciding which registry cleaner to download and use, first consider what your actual needs are, as sometimes free platforms may only provide basic options, so if you need to use advanced tools you may find a paid platform is much more worthwhile. Additionally, free and budget software options can sometimes prove limited when it comes to the variety of tools available, while higher-end software can really cater for every need, so do ensure you have a good idea of which features you think you may require.


First, you need to understand that just about every single action that you take on your computer leaves a trail. Installing, uninstalling, and even just modifying programs can leave useless junk files cluttering your device.
