After the installation is complete, you’re asked whether you want to perform a Safe, Moderate, or Advanced scan of the files and registry entries that the uninstalled program may have left behind or whether you want to skip this step altogether.Ī Moderate scan takes around 60 seconds, and it searches the most likely locations for remnants of the uninstalled program. Revo Uninstaller Free will then run the program’s standard uninstaller. When you choose a program to uninstall from the list, you’re first asked whether you want to make a System Restore point. Windows apps can be removed on the next tab, and the Tools menu includes eight system utilities for cleaning up files on your computer. Revo Uninstaller Free has a simple interface, with the option of viewing your installed applications as a list or a grid. Sorry but I call BS, no one knows every single entry and what it means let alone if it's good or bad.Revo Uninstaller Free has a straightforward interface (Image credit: Revo Uninstaller Free) Interface and in use Not hundreds or dozens of entries because someone that has been programming for a few years now somehow feels they or their team know the Billions of possible values and every single one that is good or bad and can automate fixing it. If you can show proof positive 100% that some value in the Registry is actually causing an issue then change or remove THAT entry. So how is removing a dozen or a few dozen going to really help speed up my computer? Reading all the keys for my HKCU hive took 249 ms with a total of 21047 keys. It makes a specific call to a location where it expects its configuration to be or where it needs to possibly interface with other COM objects to complete an operation and can typically make that read in milliseconds. The bottom line is WHY are you cleaning the Registry? The system can typically read through the entire Registry in under a minute, but that is not how software reads, writes to the Registry. In some cases on a computer with detailed auditing enabled it can show errors that were not there prior to the cleaning, but again these are typically things that would be nearly impossible to know after the fact what caused it. How it can sometimes manifest itself is with an application simply not behaving as it used to, a program feature that no longer launches. Normally the damage done is rarely seen or even attributed to the cleaning. In most cases regardless of which Registry Cleaning tool you use it's not going to outright break Windows from booting or running. Miekiemoes' Blog Registry Cleaners and System Tweaking Tools
