As early as Windows 3.0 introduced OLE technology, the registry has appeared. Windows NT was the first operating system to make extensive use of the registry at the system level. However, since the beginning of the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system, the registry has been a critical database that will continue to play a role in the subsequent operating systems.<\/p>\n<p>The command to open the registry is: <strong>Regedit<\/strong> <strong>or<\/strong> <strong>regedit<\/strong>.<strong>exe<\/strong>, <strong>regedt32 or regedt32.exe<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can click the operation in the START menu (WINDOWS + R), and then type <strong>regedit<\/strong> or <strong>regedit.exe<\/strong> and click <strong>OK<\/strong> to open the registry editor.<br \/>\n<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanerone.trendmicro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/clean-registry.png.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter webpexpress-processed\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanerone.trendmicro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/clean-registry.png\" alt=\"\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<p><strong>A WORD OF CAUTION<\/strong>: Editing the registry manually is risky. A mistake can lead to system-level interruptions. Before cleaning the registry, it is recommended that a professional <a class=\"wp-editor-md-post-content-link\" title=\"registry cleaner\" href=\"https:\/\/cleanerone.trendmicro.com\/cleaner-one-pro-for-win\/\">registry cleaner<\/a> is used.<\/p>\n<h3>Disable programs from the System Startup<\/h3>\n<p>Startup items are programs that the system will run once your computer is ON. When you download and install software, running the program during start-up is usually a default choice. Therefore, if the software is not commonly used and you do not need to use it every time you start your PC, you can remove the check because it can slow down system speed. If you forgot to remove the check when installing the application, you can also make changes using the Task Manager.<br \/>\n1. On your keyboard, press the <strong>CTRL<\/strong> + <strong>ALT<\/strong> + <strong>DELETE<\/strong> keys, and then choose Task Manager.<br \/>\n2. Click the Startup tab, and then select the program that you do not need running.<br \/>\n<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cleanerone.trendmicro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/disable-system-startup.jpg.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter webpexpress-processed\" src=\"https:\/\/cleanerone.trendmicro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/disable-system-startup.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/picture><br \/>\n3. Click Disable.<\/p>\n<p>You can also see the first tab named \u201cProcesses\u201d in the picture above. Too many programs running simultaneously can slow down the system speed as well. Some programs may continue running in the background even after you have closed them. Under the \u201cProcesses\u201d tab, you can select them and click \u2018End task\u2019 at the bottom right. However, be careful about this action because you might lose some important processes needed to run Windows.<\/p>\n<h3>Update Windows Operating System<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure your programs and software are up-to-date. These updates not only fix bugs but also bring new features, and ensure your computer is secure.<\/p>\n<h3>Delete unnecessary files<\/h3>\n<p>Delete files that you are not using to save disk space.<br \/>\n1.
