Why and when registry slows down the computer?

Registry structure of the operating system saves all the registry files related to the software which are frequently installed and removed from computer. It keeps track of all the DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files of all the installed components. Registry needs to be monitored and troubleshoot on regular basis, for healthy processing of computer.

According to the research made by computer repair agencies that almost 90% computing power of computers is affected by corrupted registry files. Most of the computer systems report errors due to missing important registry files.

The registry is affected only when you have installed programs on the computer and uninstall them after some time. Most of the time uninstall utility dose not work properly, and leaves some unnecessary files in the computer. The size of the registry grows and makes use of large space of memory. Frequent addition and deletion of software from computer gives rise to the registry fragmentation, corruption and registry failure.

Most common problems of the computers, when registry fails are listed below

 Corrupted applications show error while opening an application

 Useless and failed objects related to browser like temporary internet files which occupy a lot of space of primary drive

 Missing files related to applications installed on the computer

 Damaged components of active X and COM objects by adding and removing new system files to them.

 Reliability of registry files becomes suspected

Being a layman, a computer user is not much familiar to cope with such kind of computer problems. Some of the symptoms are mentioned below, which indicate the failure of registry files.

 Slow speed of processor

 Very low performance

 Instability in the application’s processing

 Frequent errors while work is in progress

 A very slow startup of windows

 In most severe case, windows denies from getting started.

These problems are only encountered when programs are constantly installed and removed from the computer. Some of the files are left behind in computer registry even the un-installation process is finished. Such files create problems for the operating system to work properly. The best solution for this issue is to scan the whole computer and use of efficient registry cleaner software.

Despite so many versions of Windows, BSOD still exists so it’s a useful feature. The bugs are scattered quite liberally in most of Microsoft’s operating systems, so the BSOD, an error reporting system as well as an end to all your current work is in fact a feature. BSOD is closely tied with Microsoft’s operating systems. Due to large number of system bugs, a blue screen can appear freezing basic operations, an application’s work, or even with no occasion, decreasing system’s functionality, or permanently hanging it at. I have almost never (either with my own machines or at work) seen a BSOD that wasn’t caused by faulty hardware driver.

Many times after a computer crash, your PC will boot into “safe mode” which is a troubleshooting version of Windows (only the most essential drivers and software are loaded). While in safe mode, run both a virus and spyware scan. In some cases, the blue screen is caused by failed hardware or corrupt hardware drivers (the software that makes hardware devices or components interact properly with your computer). In some cases, the blue screen can be caused by memory problems.

These error messages often reference missing files or “runtime” errors. Using an efficient registry cleaner, you can defragment the registry to remove all registry holes to make it compact, and re-index registry files to considerably improve data access time.

System or Windows performance will decrease after quite some time due to the software installation and uninstallation by users. System or Windows registry will be overwrite once any software being install or uninstall, if installation or uninstallation was perform in proper way, the performance of the system or Windows will be effected. Problems with the Windows registry are a common cause of Windows crashes, slow performance and error messages. By using a registry cleaner regularly and fixing registry errors your system should not only be more stable but it will also help improve your system performance without expensive hardware upgrades. During the normal operation of a Windows system, registry data is constantly being written to and removed from the registry. Over time this data becomes scattered within the registry file and when information is deleted from the registry holes are left which fragment the data within the registry.
