And don’t use registry cleaners. They cause more harm than good.

I disagree on the registry cleaner comments. I use CCleaner and have never had a problem so from my experience they work well. Did you also clean out all your temp internet files. These tend to get quite large and have been known to cause problems.

I use Last Pass password manager so I choose to clean out all temp internet files whenever I close my browser. This allows the browser to stay lean at all times. With Last Pass whenever I sign onto a site requireing a log on, Last Pass remember my password info for me.

My advice on “registry cleaners” is and has ever been Never use Any “registry cleaner” for Any reason at Any time.

Always create a fresh drive image before making system changes/Windows updates; you may need to start over!

We all have our own reasons for doing the things that we do with our systems; we don't need anyone's approval, and we don't all have to do the same things.

We were all once "Average Users".

CCleaner’s registry cleaner is very conservative, but I’ve stopped using it anyway. I use Revo for uninstalling programs, and the registry entries it removes are enough. Extra lines in the registry do no harm. It’s just 2 text files.
