The only fix then is a reinstall of your OS. If you jiggle the registry the wrong way, and change, or remove, key registry commands, you could truly cripple your system, or lose it. It controls the main settings for what your computer is instructed to do, and how. The registry is rather like your computer's 'central filing cabinet' or 'brain' if you will. Many savvy techs will advise you to leave your computer's registry, ALONE. The problem I have with Glary, and most all others of its kind, is (A.) the efficacy of all these 'fixers', and (B.) putting tools, so very invasive, in the hands of those who really don't have much experience.

There is a 'Lite' or free version (which is perhaps missing some key attractions), and of course for a charge the 'Pro' or full version. Each of these 'fixes' has several more sub-options and 'fixes'.

Glary Utilities is a software 'utility', bundling perhaps ten, or more, individual 'fix-it's' to improve your computer's performance - make it run like new! It will 'Optimize And Improve', fix your 'Privacy And Security', attend to your 'Files And Folders', get your 'System Tools' in order, and finally 'Clean Up And Repair'. This review focuses on Glary Utilities, but is, in fact, my opinion of all 'Fix-It-All' programs available. Let me start by framing the point that my 'opinions' are based on my experiences, thoughts/ideas shared by friends, and a good deal of research. Unless you're really into computer maintenance and Fix-It programs, you might want to sit this review out.

Or the fact the low level access required isn’t necessarily even available to a regular app.ĥ. It shreds files from within windows? Shadow volume services might have something to say about that. Anyone who believes that memory optimizers are doing anything except clearing things the OS is purposefully keeping in memory until something you need it for more comes along is kidding themselves. What, does it change some services to start after boot rather than during? Incredibly minor, and you can do it easily by hand, and infact many of these ‘optimizations’ can lead to slowdowns of things you actually WANT immediately after startup, depending on how/what you use your PC. Optimizes startup – pretty much the same as above. If it’s not a spyware or malware tool than what exactly does it clean that is relevant to systems beyond.
