K Blaver PC analyser - 1189 registry errors on a brand new computer
I have just installed AVG Ultimate on a BRAND NEW computer and I've been running through all the various modules installing etc and I went to "fix performance" and I ran PC analyser and it found 1189 registry errors! How is this possible on a brand new computer that has hardly anything installed on it yet? Fragmentation is also 15% which I find to be quite high considering the hard drive has not yet been used for more than 2 days. Please could someone explain how a new computer can have this amount of registry errors? I have run PC analyser on other computers in my household that have been used for 2 or 3 years and none of them had anywhere near this number of registry errors.
In many cases, brand-new computers can run into registry errors in a very short amount of time.
**Whenever you download and install a program, its entries are installed on the registry, where they can be manipulated. If you download large programs that your computer does not have the configurations to handle, your registry will run into errors and will require cleaning. Improperly uninstalled programs will leave registry values that have to be cleaned and removed to avoid startup and freeze problems.
**It is important to perform disk cleanups to remove temporary files and unnecessary files on the registry and use system resources with no added benefit. Simple tasks such as properly restarting and shutting down your computer are often forgotten, and as a result cause startup errors in the registry. Other simple management tasks include disk defragmentation, which is vital for a new computer that has been used to download numerous files in a short period of time.
