Q. Do registry cleaners really increase system speed?
A. Registry cleaners generally do not increase system speed, but they can make your computer easier to maintain. Some users claim they experience performance increases however, in our tests, there was no noticeable performance increase.
There is a great deal of controversy over the legitimacy of registry cleaners as to whether they actually do anything positive to system performance. Many registry cleaners simply remove any invalid reference in the registry, but the user will not actually experience any noticeable difference in system performance and may instead end up with more problems or even an unbootable system. We cannot confirm that registry cleaners increase system performance despite many users' claims. Our registry cleaner was mainly created to remove unnecessary data from your computer and possibly indirectly fix some problems. Our registry cleaner should not remove any critical data from your registry. However, registry cleaners should only be used by experienced Windows users. SysCheckUp will back up your registry and will remove invalid registry information to make your computer more manageable.
It is also important to note that software can only optimize Windows to a certain limit. New/upgraded hardware is recommended to improve performance more.
Q. What is the Windows registry?
A. The Windows registry is one of the most crucial components required for Windows to operate. The Windows registry is a huge database comprising of multiple files that contain vast amounts of data that Windows and most applications use to store their settings in. If a single critical registry key/value becomes corrupted, it can leave your computer in an extremely unstable state or even leave you with an unbootable system. If the Windows registry becomes cluttered with obsolete/erroneous data, the efficiency of many applications and Windows itself are compromised.
Q. I just scanned my registry and it found XXXX errors. Does my registry really have that many errors/unnecessary items?
A. Yes, however, the sections of the registry that SysCheckUp scans for errors/unnecessary data in are generally not required for your computer to run, but they are necessary for better system manageability.
Q. Does the amount of errors a registry cleaner finds determine that it is better?
A. No. Registry cleaners can delete completely valid registry data and render your computer useless. For this reason, registry cleaners should be used with caution.
Q. What are the unnecessary files that SysCheckUp refers to, and why would I have them on my computer?
A. The "unnecessary files" that SysCheckUp refers to are files that many applications create to use for certain purposes. However, many times the files are not deleted after they are used. This causes your computer to fill up with unnecessary files that should have been deleted. The disk cleaner will free up hard drive space to make room for more useful files and folders.
Other Questions
Q. What computer-related problems does SysCheckUp not fix?
A. SysCheckUp cannot fix hardware problems. Also, a large number of computer-related problems are caused by viruses and other malware. SysCheckUp was not created to remove malware. Please see the Security section in our recommended software page before using SysCheckUp for software to remove malware.
Q. Why do several registry errors consistently appear regardless of how many scans are run?
A. These registry errors may be locked by other programs, or you do not have the required permissions to remove them. These errors can be ignored.
Q. Why would I still have several registry errors after a complete reinstallation of Windows?
A. On a newly installed Windows computer, registry cleaners will still find errors. These are usually leftovers from previous versions of Windows that Microsoft did not remove and are safe to remove.
