It is quite common for most users to tinker around and install a lot of softwares on their computers. Over time it is quite often to install a lot of softwares and then uninstall them once you are done trying them out. These softwares create a lot of entries in the Windows Registry regarding paths to the application’s files, settings, associations with file extensions and other things. Over time, the registry gets filled with junk and reaching the needed entries can take more time. Registry Repair helps you get rid of the junk left in Windows Registry and can potentially help you speed up your computer.

Registry Repair is a fairly simple application. It is compatible with Windows 2000 to Windows 10 as well as Windows Server 2003. It is a fairly small application at 4 MB and should not take too long to install. After installation, when you open the application, it automatically starts a scan for problematic registry keys. Once the scan is complete, it displays all the results in a categorised way. The program can detect up to 18 different types of problems, and similar kinds of problems are grouped together. You can check the list of the problems by expanding the information display about the type of problem. You can then right-click on the individual registry key and open Registry Editor and browse the registry key if you need to manually inspect the issue. The software automatically makes a backup of the registry key. So if deleting it causes any stability issue, you can restore all the deleted registry entries. You can also uncheck and ignore any individual registry key or an entire type of issue if you like. After that, click the ‘Repair your registry’ button to remove the checked registry entries. Or if you choose, instead of deleting the registry keys, you can export the results to a text file so you can show it to someone else of post on a forum.

Registry Repair is easy to use. It also does its job quickly. However, be sure to uncheck any adware installation which may be selected by default during the installation. Also, it does not always remove all the junk even by its own standards. You may often find that if you rerun the scan, you will get registry errors again.
