They've put together a fantastic free registry cleaner program. Some big pluses for Wise's free registry cleaner include fast registry scans, scheduled scans, in place updates, and a clear separation between normal issues and those that are "unsafe," a feature we loved. We don't like the fact that Wise Registry Cleaner pushes for a download of Wise Disk Cleaner at the end of the installation, but it's easy to skip.

Advanced SystemCare is great for the non-tech-savvy because you don’t even have to view the results to repair them. Moreover, you could actually shut down or restart your PC when the cleaning is finished, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Registry backups are created automatically before removing any registry items, and an automatic maintenance mode does all the cleaning for you when your computer first starts, without any intervention on your part, which is really nice. Undoing changes to your registry are really easy because you can either restore to an automatically created backup or make your own registry backup whenever you like, and then restore the registry from the Undo changes section of the program. Argente Registry Cleaner works in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. We tested v3.1 on Windows 10 and Windows 7.

An option in the settings can be enabled to automatically create a restore point before you delete any registry problems, which is a good way to safeguard against possible computer issues from the deletion process. You can use Toolwiz Care without installing it by clicking the "Run without installing" button when you first open the setup file. Toolwiz Care works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. We tested Toolwiz Care v4.0 in Windows 10 and Windows 8.

RegScrubVistaXP may not look modern at all, but the registry cleaning function is very good. This program found many more invalid registry entries than most of the programs in this list. With that being said, it’s really not the most user-friendly program out there.

While testing this program, we found it has no automatic registry backup feature, which makes it a little dangerous to use unless you remember to make a backup yourself, which you can do from within the program. RegScrubVistaXP is said to work with Windows Vista and XP only, but we tested version 1.6 in Windows 10 and didn't run across any problems. Download RegScrubVistaXP
