A vital part of the Windows operating system, Windows system registry, is that area or database of your computer which contains critical instructions, settings, configurations, changes and options related to all the programs and hardware.
Over the time, the system registry gathers a lot of useless clutter and starts clogging. Even everything that you uninstall is not removed completely. As you turn on your system, it will have to go through all these unnecessary entries every time, causing slow start ups.
The longer you use your computer, the more likely you are to encounter Windows registry problems. When your system registry gets clogged, you are required to edit it but it is advisable that you do it with the help of an expert or software meant for it as incorrect editing may lead to serious implications.
After ruling out a virus infection, if the following symptoms crop up, it is most likely that you are encountering a Windows registry problem.
