This is one of thirty modules included in the utilities suite Ashampoo WinOptimizer, now in version 17.
It would be interesting to know why it's being offered separately: I assume it's to try to persuade users to buy the whole program!

I think we keep being told by those in the know that it simply isn't WORTH messing with your registry -- it can create more problems than it solves.

And, since as BAW30s explains (below) it is just a piece of Win Optimiser hived off, suspicions are that it is basically just a come-on for Ashampoo's main programme.

Anyway -- no thanks, not for me.

With the now common SSD running the operating system there is little point in trying to speed up access to the registry by removing a few dead links, or defraging it. Best left well alone.

john,

I believe it's more complicated than that...
*If* every coder writing software did a fantastic job, & if all their software behaved extremely well, or if software followed the original guidelines in win10's store, so every uninstall was 100% complete, then Windows registry would be a non-issue. Sadly, the vast majority of the time none of the above is true.

That Does Not mean that using a registry cleaner will fix things -- judging by the posts of those that have used one, it might or might not. But I do not believe that everyone that posts that a registry cleaner helped is a paid shill either.

Any program that is solely dedicated to clean the registry is to be avoided. It is doubtful that cleaning the registry will result in any significant improvement to your windows system performance. What you are more likely to do is to trash your system. Avoid deep registry cleaning at all costs. Malwarebytes flags such programs as potentially unwanted programs. That in itself should tell you something. Ashampoo also has WinOptimizer available for free in various download sites. I believe WinOptimizer 2019 and WinOptimizer 15 are the latest versions offered for free. These are o.k. as long as you don't do deep registry cleaning. I have read reports of those who did deep registry cleaning and wound up very sorry they did it.
