What it does
Using a 'registry cleaner' / 'registry optimizer' tool that promises faster games by deleting old registry entries.
The honest verdict
Graded risky. The Windows registry is a settings database, not a performance bottleneck — a few thousand stale entries cost you nothing measurable, and no game reads them while it is drawing frames. So the upside is zero. …
It's on Compy's refuse list. Compy will never apply this tweak — and if a guide already talked you into it, reversibility is the whole point of the app.
The full graded entry
The rest of this write-up — the specifics behind the grade — ships inside the app. The Blackbook publishes its verdicts here — the full write-ups stay in the book, on your rig, next to your own measurements.
The Compy Blackbook holds 191 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
