Your windows registry is one of the most important parts of your system which is a huge database that stores vital information about your computer. It contains hardware configurations, application settings, windows user profile settings, driver settings and much more..

Overtime, your registry may become corrupt because of:

Spyware and Viruses

Damaged or changed hardware

Deleting start up applications

Signs of a corrupt windows registry

Your computer crashes frequently or freezes without any reason

How to cure?

Before you fix the registry, it is strongly recommended to take a registry back up because if anything goes wrong, you will need to restore it back to a previous working version.

Then, goto windows start > "run" and type here > "regedit" to enter the registry

Now, you can edit, add, and remove corrupt keys.

Make sure not to edit or remove the wrong keys because it can result in a total system crash and the only option left is to re-install windows.

Trying to fix manually is only for windows registry experts and I do not recommend it for the average PC user.
