Windows default cleaning apps vs PC cleaners
As a repair tech, I’m used to using CCleaner, Glary utilities, Malwarebytes, etc to troubleshoot PC issues (just the free versions). I never clean the registry as I think it’s useless.
I always wondered if all these third-party apps are unnecessary.
What about switching to a Windows defaults-only approach? something like this:
Clear unwanted stuff with Storage sense/disk-cleanup > Clear unwanted startup programs > clear browser data (history, cookies, cache) and, if necessary, reset browser settings > Run Windows Defender (do an offline scan if needed).
Any opinions much appreciated.
