What's the best system maintenance & repair tool? Used WiseCare365 & GlaryUtilities before and Wise Care is good I think. I have heard earlier that iOLO system maintenance tool contains malware. Currently I'm using Privazer. Ccleaner, Kerish Doctor, Bleachbit & O&O all are also performs system maintenance. And what's the registry defrag feature which is present on wise care? Is it safe to use? If other better tools are available kindly specify. I'm also using HiBit Uninstaller. Kindly give me details. Thanks in advance.

Wise Care 365 is indeed a good tool. The registry defrag feature helps to compact and reorganize the registry to improve system performance. It's generally safe, but always backup your registry before using it. iOLO has had some issues in the past, but it's not confirmed malware. CCleaner, Kerish Doctor, and O&O are reliable too. For alternatives, you might want to consider Advanced SystemCare or System Mechanic. Always remember, no tool is perfect and regular manual checks are also necessary.

Glary Utilities is a comprehensive system cleaner with a good range of features. Advanced SystemCare is from IObit, not iOLO, and it's a well-rounded tool. System Mechanic is from iOLO and it's also a strong choice. Both have their strengths, so it's about personal preference and specific needs.

I tried almost all mentioned software, and I stayed with "wise" in the end. It is free, safe and reliable.
Glary is good, but it will run in the background, which I don't like, and it removes less than wise.
System mechanic is just a demo, most of its features are paid and I want a free software.
PrivaZer is very thorough in what it removes which sometimes removes things I need, it is why I stopped using it (if you want to remove the most stay with it).
CCleaner is good for browsers, but everything else is just as other products.
Advanced system care is good but large (over 200MB) and show ads.
BleachBit doesn't clean registry, and it is made for Linux mainly.

And registry defragment is a safe tool, just close all software before running it, and restart the device after it is finished, it takes mostly 2 mins.

The real and complete story - Does Windows defragment your SSD?

There has been a LOT of confusion around Windows, SSDs (hard drives), and ...
www.hanselman.com www.hanselman.com

But yea, keep on installing additional software for "cleaning" or "optimizing" Windows. By that you even get more junk on the system that you don't need. Kind of missing the point of having a snappy and unpoluted system or am I wrong?

Disk Cleaner is a built in feature of Windows

Disk Defragmentation also built in

Cmd commands to repair your system:

- sfc /scannow
- Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
- chkdsk C: /f

Thats basically all you need

None.

Disk Cleaner is a built in feature of Windows

Disk Defragmentation also built in

Cmd commands to repair your system:

- sfc /scannow
- Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
- chkdsk C: /f

Thats basically all you need

Yes but there's no built in feature or cmd command to defrag registry.
