how to clean up your registry(regedit) with CCleaner for free in windows 10

 CCleaner is a lightweight, powerful utility for Microsoft Windows computers that cleans out the 'junk' that builds up over time, such as temporary files, missing shortcuts, and other issues.

CCleaner safeguards your personal information. It clears your browser history and temporary internet archives, making you a more secure Internet user and making you less vulnerable to identity fraud.

To clean your Registry:

1. In CCleaner, click the Registry icon at left.
2. Optionally, select the items under Registry Clean you wish to scan (they are all checked by default). This is for advanced users - we recommend you leave all the items checked.
3. Click Scan for Issues. You'll see a progress bar and a list of potential issues.
4. Once the scan is finished, you can review the list of issues (this is really for advanced users). Or, to save the list to a text file, right-click anywhere inside the list, and then click Save to text file...
5. If you want CCleaner to skip any of the issues it's found, right-click the issue, and then click Add to Exclude List. You can review the current set of excluded files, folders, and Registry entries in the Exclude section of the Options pane.
6. Click Fix selected issues... to fix the Registry problems.
7. You are prompted to backup the Registry first. We strongly recommend you click Yes.
8. Choose a location where to save the Registry backup. The file name ends in .REG. Click Save.
9. CCleaner displays the first Registry problem and a proposed solution
10. Do one of the following:

To fix all issues at once, click Fix All Selected Issues. We recommend this choice for most users. Click OK.

 Once all issues have been fixed, click Close.

Review the issue and proposed solution. To fix this specific issue, click Fix Issue.

 CCleaner will then go to the next issue. 

To skip this issue and go to the next one, click the >> button. You will have to repeat this process for all of the issues CCleaner found.

To stop making changes to the Registry, click Close. Note: If you do this by mistake, just click Fix Selected Issues... again
