registry cleaner

Is there a proprietary MS registry cleaner?
Some add-ons which came with a program I downloaded, rejected and deleted, seem to have slowed my Win8 system down.
Thanks - Ian

Hello Ian,

 

Before we proceed I would require some more information to assist you better.

 

Does the issue only occur when working on Word 2010 application or any application on Windows 8?

 

If the issue persists only with Word or Office applications, then you may disable the Add-Ins and then verify the results. For more information on the same, refer to the following link ‘View, manage, and install add-ins in Office programs’:

You may also check the Fix it Solution Center and check if there are tools to clean the Windows Registry:

Note: Take a backup of the Windows Registry before making any changes to it.

 

In case if that doesn’t help, do get back to us and we would be glad to assist you.

 

Thank you

This question would be more suitable in a Windows forum, I think.

However, if Word appears to be slow, try getting rid of left-over temporary files. See http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm.
