Abexo Registry Cleaner Free analyzes the registry seeking driver DLL's, invalid file associations erroneous help files, fonts and sounds that could be damaging your system. Like all decent registry cleaners and restorers, it makes an instant backup of a clean configuration to make sure than whatever changes you make with it, can easily be reversed or undone if they actually make the situation worse. What's good about this program is that apart from the standard cleaning, optimizing and restoring functions, it also features a registry defragmenter and compacter.
Defragging your registry is just as important as defragging your drive because over prolonged use, it becomes scattered and slow. The registry defragger/compacter removes empty spaces after a registry cleanup and thereby reduces Windows registry size. The developers claim that this program will find problems with your registry that other analysers don't and while that wasn't the case for me, it still does the job quickly and in providing the defragger/compacter, effectively gives you two bits of software in one.
Over time, Windows registry gathers a lot of invalid entries that cause system complications and slow down your computer significantly. Abexo Free Registry Cleaner helps you prevent this situation from getting out of control.
This article describes the Microsoft support policy for customers who use registry cleaning utilities that rely on unsupported methods to extract or modify the contents of a Windows Registry.
The Windows registry is a database of settings for all hardware, software, and user preferences on your computer that controls how Windows interacts with your hardware and applications. Windows continually references the registry in the background and it is not designed to be accessed or edited.
Some products such as registry cleaning utilities suggest that the registry needs regular maintenance or cleaning. However, serious issues can occur when you modify the registry incorrectly using these types of utilities. These issues might require users to reinstall the operating system due to instability. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved without a reinstallation of the Operating System as the extent of the changes made by registry cleaning utilities varies from application to application.
A damaged Windows registry can exhibit a range of symptoms including excessive CPU utilization, longer startup and shutdown times, poor application functionality or random crashes or hangs. These random crashes and hangs can ultimately lead to data loss due to the systems inability to save data back to the storage location during the occurrence.
Microsoft does not support the use of registry cleaners. Some programs available for free on the internet might contain spyware, adware, or viruses. If you decide to install a registry cleaning utility, be sure to research the product and only download and install programs from publishers that you trust. For more information, see when to trust a software publisher.
Microsoft is not responsible for issues caused by using a registry cleaning utility. We strongly recommend that you only change values in the registry that you understand or have been instructed to change by a source you trust, and that you back up the registry before making any changes.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of a registry cleaning utility can be solved. Issues caused by these utilities may not be repairable and lost data may not be recoverable.
Before you modify the registry, make sure you back it up, create a restore point, and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up the Windows registry, see the following article for your version of Windows:
For Windows 10:

One of the most critical things to remember is that the registry is a very fragile component of your computer. If you mess with it too much or incorrectly, it can essentially destroy Windows. With that being said, it is essential to exercise caution while cleaning your registry, especially if you are doing it manually.
I have been a user of Revo Uninstaller (free) for sometime and find it does a very good cleanup job with typical applications. Today I wanted to clean up my machine a bit more so I proceeded to remove Visual Studio 2005 with Revo Uninstaller. The VS installer removed the app with no issues, then Revo reported about 20,000 leftover registry keys. I am used to basically just see Arpcache and Muicache... since I am not a registry expert I had no clue about most of the 20,000 listed.
So I backed up the registry then let Revo remove the 20,000. It next reported about 1500 leftover files which included my Microsoft Office applications(!) that I knew it should not be touching. So I did not delete any files with Revo. Suspecting that some of the removed keys were also Office-related, I tried to open Word and Excel, both of which knew something was up, as the installer kicked in (albeit just briefly) for each of them. At this point, since I knew there were issues, I just restored the registry and I am now (seemingly) running OK.
As a seasoned software professional, my own answer to this would be the obvious "When the keys it reports are something you understand and know are safe to delete" but then that makes Revo of little use except to registry experts, does it not...?
I love Revo but ONLY DELETE the BOLD HIGHLIGHTED ones in the registry scan (it tells you to only delete the bold ones). It runs through them all once in a while, mine is doing it now. And yes, back up your registry first to be safe.
I have a registry set up on Artifact Registry with a cleanup ploicy of "keep only 1 version" and I have package prefixes set yet no images are deleted....or at least not ones I expect to be deleted. I search for log entries using the following format:
Once you create the policy by following this document: -registry/docs/repositories/cleanup-policy
, you can confirm if this is applied to your repository by viewing your cleanup policies in the Repository details section by clicking Show more.
Also, you can perform a dry run as shown in this doc and confirm the cleanup via cloud audit logs.
Many people reach for a registry cleaner when an application is having problems or Windows is misbehaving. The problem is, these types of situations rarely respond to cleaning; they often require an application-specific or Windows-specific solution.
It seems to me that the computer industry gets away with murder! When we take into account the billions that are spent every year by computer users alone, including hardware and software, it begs the question: why are we al still scratching around on websites, going from Billy to Jack, endeavouring to find the golden fleece, i. e. a program or utility that will reliably clean our machines so that all the dross is removed and we can use them again in much the same state as when we bought them as new. Is that too much to ask?I believe there must be millions of angry and dissapointed customers out there who are totaly frustrated with their computers and a lot of them give up as it becomes obvious that there is no real governing body which will fight their cause for them!
I asked an IT guy at work about registry cleaners and he replied that it was rather like trying to do brain surgery on yourself, i.e., be very careful and only when there is no other brain surgeon with more experience.
Hi Leo,
Man what a hornets web your stirred up,withy register cleaner, even some uncalled for nastiness, my thinking is a good cleaner serves its purpose,as a drop of oil does on a door hnge,put too much on and you have a mess . I had the pleasure of digging through the registry to remove the left overs from from Nortons work program a few Years ago,sure would have been nice to have had Ccleaner Then. I do use it after lots of surfing or after deleting a program etc. Windows has gotting better at deleting unwanted,but needs a bit of help sometimes.
Keep it up Leo
Joe
If you use a good uninstaller like Revo or Advanced Uninstaller Pro from your first windows installation you will not require a registry cleaner at all. The other advantage of using these types of software correctly is you do not need to restart your computer after removing programs.

I try to buy my computers without any junk on them but I fairly recently bought a new Dell XPS directly from Dell. It had some Dell software and McAfee. McAfee has registry cleaning. I have not used Norton in a while but I think it still has a registry cleaner also (in the full suite version).Why do McAfee (and probably Norton) continue to have registry cleaners? When I am cleaning temporary files and other stuff using the McAfee software it includes registry cleaning. Is it safe to allow this?
I am running McAfee Security Center 10, Virus Scan 14, and Quick Clean 10 under Windows XP SP3. I have never selected to do a Clean Registry under the PC Clean option. I heard doing a clean registry my improve my PC performance, and possibly fix some registry errors. Is this something that is safe to run without risk? If running it causes any system problems in my PC, is there any way to restore it from McAfee? I ask these questions because I have heard many horror stories of what can happen if the registry is incorrect.
You seem to have the same setup as I do. In the settings on mine for Quick Clean I don't see the option for Registry Clean, but it does it anyway so maybe it's one of those things that you can't undo once it's set (which I would say is a definite bug in the program, but never mind). One feature of it that I don't like is that Quick Clean tells you nothing before, during or afterwards about what gets deleted - just the total number of files - so if it changes anything in the registry you won't know what it's done.
