bitdman Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 This may have been addressed already, but I'm very lazy and don't enjoy reading a lot. When installing a clean game would it be advisable to run a registry cleaner before validating game files or does it not matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 oqhansoloqo Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 If you already have a registry cleaner installed, why not give it a go? I don't see how it could hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Audley Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I suppose it would depend on which cleaner you are using. If you are using something like CCleaner then it wouldn't hurt anything. At best you would get a slight boost in Windows performance. Unless of course you have not cleaned the registry in a long time. In that case I would recommend doing it anyway.

0 DoubleYou Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'm pretty sure it has been proved that cleaning the registry helps nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 EssArrBee Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The time you should be deleting stuff from the registry is when you uninstall a program. Even then left behind entries don't affect anything. Revo Uninstaller does a good job of cleaning up leftovers when uninstalling programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
