So I am right to assume that registry cleaners/maintenance software has improved over the years, I have bad memories from when I had Windows 7, but that is 8 years back in time?

They are a German software company. They have been selling tune-up software for quite some time and were selling a Bitdefender rebrand at one point.I never heard anything about Auslogics until I saw it in your config tbh. I often read good things about the CCleaner registry cleaner, but registry cleaners ain't worth using in general imo. If you compare the possible outcomes it should be pretty clear that registry cleaners are not recommended. It's either the chance of damaging your system or getting a slight performance boost. I wouldn't risk that if I were you.
Just googled it and realized that I saw their defragmentation software before.
I wasn't a fan of that back in the days. The biggest improvement from defragmentation was always seen after Tune-UP Utilities.de software, now part of AVG/Avast. Anyway, the days of defrag are gone (almost).
I have to admit that I'm still using a third party software for that matter cause I trust the company behind it and due to the fact that they offer a defragmentation option specially designed for SSD's without damaging them. What are your throughts?
SSD optimization involves just running a TRIM, so it doesn't matter who will run it. It is an SSD-firmware procedure. As for HDD optimization, I have never used O&O.I have to admit that I'm still using a third party software for that matter cause I trust the company behind it and due to the fact that they offer a defragmentation option specially designed for SSD's without damaging them.

Slightly drifting away from the actual topic, but as we are talking about optimization software...
I do not trust Bitdefender to take of anything other than my security, besides it erases all my logins, so that is why.
They are Australian, which is why they chose the name Auslogics.
Their registry cleaner is safe to use and always has been. It's even safe to enable the categories which are unchecked by default. However, many years ago, if you had the check for Missing Software enabled, it could cause issues. Using Auslogics Registry Cleaner won't cause any problems. But, as with any registry cleaner, it's highly unlikely it will fix any issues with your system or make it run faster. If you are having issues with your system, running Tweaking.com's Windows Repair is much more likely to fix them.
They have improved a lot. Many years ago, cleaning the registry with some badly written registry cleaners, could result in an unbootable system. I even had it happen on my own systems a couple of times. However, despite the improvements, 99% of registry cleaners will sometimes delete needed registry keys. Doing so won't cause enough damage to lead to an unbootable system these days, but can cause other problems. As a result, just about every registry cleaner ever written, should be used with caution.So I am right to assume that registry cleaners/maintenance software has improved over the years, I have bad memories from when I had Windows 7, but that is 8 years back in time?
The registry cleaners in both are safe to use. In many years of using TuneUp Utilities/AVG Cleanup and Auslogics Registry Cleaner, I've only ever seen one false positive from each product.
You probably mean Wise Registry Cleaner. Wise Disk Cleaner only cleans junk and doesn't touch the registry. Both Wise Registry Cleaner and Wise Care 365 have minor issues with false positives.
