Manually cleaning your PC registry may be the worst or best thing you ever decide to do. Registry keys that lie around on your computer, unused, can cause your computer to lag. This can end up in your computer not being able to load the easiest of programs and being slow at loading anything, let alone something that would take up a decent amount of memory.
If your computer has slowed to almost an absolute stop, it is most probably the registry’s fault and the only option then is to
clean it. You can get programs to do this for you, but they can be riddled with inaccuracies and viruses that could harm your computer even more.
This is why some people choose to manually edit their computer. However, this is not without its flaws.
Registry Keys
Registry keys tend to have really long names.
These names will be full of numbers and hyphens and will most likely give you no indication of what they do. Even some computer experts find it hard to understand what every computer’s registry keys do.
This can make it very hard to see which ones are causing the problem; and if you don’t know what’s causing the problem, then there is no way you will be able to fix it.
Some registry keys will be completely menial in what they do but some could be vital to even allow Windows to work on your computer.
Manual Registry Repair
Registry keys can also cause huge problems if you manually delete the wrong one.
A lot of registry cleaners have the option to revive a key that they have deleted on you, which means that fixing an error that they made would be easy enough to do. However, when you manually delete registry keys, it will be an awful lot harder to get them back to work again afterward.
This can cause your computer many problems and if you delete even one wrong key it is possible your computer will
not even start. With the horrid naming system they have as well, it makes it very hard to determine what is important and what is not, which means it is all too likely that you will delete something important.
However, those are the risks you have to take when you are cleaning out your registry. A registry cleaner has the same likelihood of messing with your computer and deleting something wrong that you have, so it is the same either way however a registry cleaner will do it with less hassle.
But, some people say that if you do it yourself, it’s more likely to be right; that is why they prefer to do it manually and that is alright.
Conclusion
So, if you are manually deleting your registry keys that are unused, you’ll have to use a program that comes with Windows known as ‘regedit.exe’ which is incredibly difficult to use but may just be worth the hassle in the end.
So, you don’t really need to put up with a slow computer, but be careful when messing with your registry manually!
