How to Fix 3 Most Common Registry Errors

The Windows Registry  is one of the most important parts of a computer. It stores information about the system - hardware, operating system software, user settings, and other software. Without the Registry your computer wouldn’t run.

Windows is very sensitive to Registry errors – if there are too many of them, your PC becomes slow, unstable, and might even fail to boot. Registry errors can affect your hardware as well and you’ll have no choice but to spend a lot of money on a new computer. Fortunately, there is an easier solution – Registry repair using a free Windows Registry cleaner from Auslogics.

It can prove handy to know what exactly causes the Registry to slow down. Here are 3 most common Registry errors:

1. Slow Registry Access

If your computer is slow on startup, freezes up too often and is sluggish, it usually means that the Registry is way too bloated.  Some Registry cleanup should make your PC run as fast as ever. You can try fixing the Registry manually, but I wouldn’t advise that, because you can accidentally delete a vital entry and seriously harm your computer. A better way is to use a free Auslogics Registry Cleaner.

2. Obsolete Entries

When you uninstall software, some programs don’t get uninstalled properly and leave invalid Registry keys behind. The more often you install and uninstall stuff, the more invalid entries there are. As a result the system needs more time to access the Registry and find the entries it needs. Naturally, this causes drastic computer slow-downs. That’s another reason why you need a Registry cleaner – to delete those entries. Auslogics Registry Cleaner offers you free Registry repair and is extremely easy and safe to use. Unlike other Registry cleaners it doesn’t try to impress you with the number of errors found - Auslogics Registry Cleaner will only detect and offer to delete ‘green’ items and won’t delete valid system entries.

3. Invalid File Extension

Another Registry error that occurs pretty often is “Invalid file extension”. You get this error when Windows can’t associate a file extension with a file type. Each file association includes the ProgID of a program that is used to handle files of that type. If a file type is associated with an invalid ProgID, you won’t be able to handle files of that file type. You’ll need to apply a Registry fix to sort it out – find the invalid extension and delete it.
