Windows registry cleanup, with backup

Uninstalled programs leave leftovers in the Windows registry. PCVitalis finds those orphaned entries and cleans them with a backup.

How it works

Scan for orphaned entries
List of what was found before cleaning
Automatic backup before any change

What the scan looks for

Programs that no longer exist: the registered uninstaller points to a file that has already been deleted.
Broken program shortcuts: Windows still stores the path of a program that is gone.
History of deleted programs: names of removed programs left behind in a Windows list.
Windows' own installers (msiexec) are skipped: the cleanup never touches them.

How to undo it

Before deleting anything, PCVitalis creates a Windows restore point and saves everything it is about to remove in a .reg file stored on the machine itself. If something is missed, just double-click that file and confirm to bring the entries back.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe?

Cleanup only touches orphaned entries and saves a backup first.

Does cleaning the registry make the PC faster?

Don't expect miracles: orphaned entries take up little space. The cleanup removes leftovers of uninstalled programs that clutter lists and get in the way of reinstalling. For a slow PC, look at startup programs and the disk.
