Should I use cleaning and optimization utilities when working on Windows 10?

Question

Windows

Hello!
Should I use various Windows applications for cleaning and optimizing memory, such as Reg Organaizer, Clean Master, etc.?
I heard various opinions that they say it is better not to use them for "non-professionals", that these are all empty shells.
What is your opinion?! After all, the information on the computer is cached somewhere, which means there is garbage

Should I use cleaning and optimization utilities when working on Windows 10?

Yes, it's worth it.
But of course, you should use not just anything, but regular Microsoft utilities.
For example -Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image

applications for Windows for cleaning and optimizing memory, such as Reg Organaizer, Clean Master, etc.?

This is absolutely useless software if you are lucky, and if you are not lucky, which happens more often, it is extremely harmful software. Typical malware.

After all, the information on the computer is cached somewhere, which means there is garbage

Of course there is, although the system cleans it regularly. But sometimes not completely.
To clean something, you need to understand what exactly you need to clean, and use the appropriate tools for this.

Answer 2

After all, the information on the computer is cached somewhere, which means there is garbage

The cache is "optimization". It is used to increase access speed. The normal cache is usually limited in size and clears itself when necessary.

Answer 3

I use the regular disk cleanup utility.
You can also manually clean the folders C:\WINDOWS\Temp (completely) C:\Users\username\AppData manually from remote programs.
The teacher in the specialist said that it is not necessary to clean and defragment the registry. The registry is small and all fits in RAM. Of course, there are cases when the registry is heavily polluted, but this is not a normal use of the system. It makes more sense to simply reinstall the system when everything is bad.

Answer 4

Write your own batch file so that it cleans temporary folders.
Previously (maybe more than 10-15 years ago) there was a problem with crooked installers that incorrectly or incompletely removed the product. (moreover, almost all the programs were stupidly tried with vandeful sit) For computers with 128 -512 MB of RAM and a 20GB screw, it was still somehow relevant with a stretch, but now, when no one uses anything except the browser, you can almost clean two or three folders (window tempo, user and browser cache)

Answer 5

I think you should not use third-party programs, since standard software with similar functions already exists in the system.

Answer 6

Why do you need third-party solutions if it's the 21st century in the yard and Windows already has it out of the box, or rather from the image :) there is Windows Defender, or whatever it's called right now. He's doing great. For many years I have been sitting only with Defender and everything works like clockwork. Of course, if you don’t specifically pump up any shit, but then you can save yourself from it manually, or go to Dr.Web CureIt and via cmd.exe sfc /scannow + DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
