    my winapp2 is not updated but it bigger than yours
    it's Winapp2.ini 1,05 MB (1.105.920 byte)
    I like more bleachbit more safe for privacy
    by the way ,is a ccleaner screenshot taken under windows 11 or windows 10?
    thanks
    Screenshot is Windows 10. It's Ccleaner tweaked to remove the crap and return it to it's original purpose of just being a system cleaner. Also winapp2.ini is trimmed to remove unnecessary entries which slow down the cleaning process.

    You really don't have to delete keys unless you're trying to fix an issue.

    In lieu of Ccleaner I use Bulk Crap Uninstaller. Bulk Crap Uninstaller - Remove large amounts of unwanted applications

    When running the Registry function ALWAYS do the prompted backup of the Registry as its first step 'just-in-case'. I've never had the cleaning fail on me but I am very careful in reading the issues found.
    hi
    do you mean export it?
    or do you mean use an utility to backup and restore with a reboot?
    thanks
    That prompt is for a backup, saves in Documents or Downloads and can be restored if needed. It's a .reg file.

    This post refers to an old version of winap2ool from the same author. I use that to trim winapp2.ini

    Also see "Menu Options" here:
