2. garbage in the registry:

In Windows, the Registry is a complex information database that records 32-bit driver settings and locations. When the operating system needs to access the hardware device, it uses the driver, and even the device is a BIOS-supported device. Drivers are required when devices without BIOS support are installed. Drivers are independent of the operating system, but the operating system needs to know where to find them, file names, version numbers, other settings, and information, devices cannot be used without the registry record.

Windows has been used for a long time, and the registry is frequently read, leaving a variety of residual information, for example, missing shared DLL files, unused file extensions, type libraries, fonts, application paths, help files, and obsolete software are all in the registry! However, we 'd better not manually delete the residual information to avoid system problems caused by accidental deletion. We recommend that you use professional cleanup tools for scanning and cleanup.
