Yes but I think system protection feature is unnecessary as I'm using Antivirus & Antimalware.
Also I want to know that if the free version of Wise Registry cleaner defrag registry?

Yes, exactly, this is why I use Wise Disk Cleaner & Wise Registry Cleaner instead of Wise Care 365.
Yes, the free version defrag the registry.

I have a local gigabit network and broadband, but the speed for two PCs running Win 10 connected via gigabit ethernet wires was only 100 Mbps DL/UL in Speedtest. I connected my laptop with the same Win 10 version to each of the wires and the speed was 500.
Later, I realized that I had used Kerish on the laptop to tweak the Internet settings. When I did the same to the two PCs, their speed went up, too.
I got the same result when I used Optimizer by Hellzerg.
Also, it looks like the PCs also show some improvement in loading apps and browsing folders, especially those with lots of files, with PerfectDisk (which is no longer being developed) Optiwrite on. I think there's an equivalent of that in iOLO and DymaxIO.

Iolo's System Mechanic actually uses the OptiWrite feature of PerfectDisk. But maybe they will stop using it now that Raxco has gone out of business.
Kerish Doctor I use since last 2 years.Happy.
Windows Disk-Clean-up works well and often can clean gigs of junk, if you let it delete old Windows Updates. But some third party cleaning tools can clean junk from a lot of third party apps and in doing so, can find a lot of junk that Disk Clean-up won't. Installing apps won't impact system performance if they don't have any services that run in the background when they are not being used. If you've got plenty of free space, then there's little need to worry about cleaning up junk. But if you're running low on space, third party cleaning tools can be useful. As for optimising Windows, there are some cases, when doing so can lead to a noticeable boost in performance. That's often not the case, but it does happen. I use the paid version of Pegasun System Utilities. My PC is noticeably faster after using it to debloat Windows. Third party cleaning tools should be used for care, as they can cause issues. Aside from a handful of exceptions, just about every registry cleaner will sometimes mistake valid registry keys for errors and will want to delete them, which can cause problems. Also, aside form freeing up disk space and sometimes boosting performance, it's very rare for any of these system utilities to fix any issues you have with a computer, despite the often impressive claims the publishers make.
There's not an actual need to use such third party tools and it's fine to just let Windows take care of itself. But in some cases they can be useful.

Privazer - NOT using. Too inconvenient interface and can delete what is important to the system.
Ccleaner - NOT using. Lost its effectiveness, lots of marketing.
Kerish Doctor - NOT using it due to moral political reasons and privacy concerns (Russian product).
HiBit Uninstaller - I USE it. Good for install/uninstall soft, have many useful functions. I have concerns though, because it is an Iranian product. I hope it is made by a developer who is in opposition to the Iranian authorities.

Rather than providing a specific ordered list, here are my thoughts.
I've been using Kerish Doctor for nineteen years and it works well. Based on comments here I've seen from users of it here, they are generally are very happy with it. The registry cleaner is safe to use, as in the times I've looked at what it wants to clean only the years, I've only ever seen a single false positive.
Wise Care 365 is quite good too, but just be aware that its registry cleaner has minor issues with false positives.
I don't like Glary Utilities particularly as I feel that there are better alternatives, but at least the developer did recently fix a minor issue with the registry cleaner that I reported to them.
I don't recommend System Mechanic. While it is safe to use, the publisher makes misleading claims. For example, when new versions are about to be released, you may get messages in the program asking you to extend your subscription to upgrade to the new version. However, if you already have an active subscription, you are already able to upgrade to the new version without spending any more money.
CCleaner works fine, but I've never liked it much as I've felt that there have always been better alternatives.
I not a fan of BleachBit, as when I used it years ago, with the default settings, it deleted some system files, which made my computer unbootable. Kerish Doctor's realtime monitoring, alerted me that this was happening and gave me the option to restore the files, but it was not enough to save my Windows install.
I haven't had much experience with PiivaZer, as I'm more interested in junk cleaning than cleaning usage traces
HiBit Uninstaller is one of the best uninstallers. It does a great job of finding leftovers. But it should be used with care, as on rare occasions the scan for leftovers with find large amounts of false positives. So you should always check what it wants to remove, rather than blindly let it remove all of the leftover it finds. However, you really should do the same with any uninstaller. Also, the developer (who is a member here), has been quick to release new versions with bug fixes, when I've reported issues.
Some other options to consider.
Wise Disk Cleaner. It does a good job of finding junk and unlike Wise Care 365, it does not include a registry cleaner.
Argente Disk Cleaner. The newly released version 3, can delete junk from a very large range of third party software. I recommend selecting the custom scan option, which lets you choose what apps you delete junk from, in case there are some apps you want to exclude.

Auslogics... wouldnt touch anything of them today , they were kings back then at fast and good HDD defrags but since then they are kinda scammy , their boostspeed program is a source of many issues usually and their Defrag tools claims Super duper SSD defrags which shovels data MASSIVELY AROUND and speeds up your SSD ( no it doesnt it just kills it faster ) if you ask them about the research for these claims you just get back that they dont release them lol
+1 for roger_m, Great post! Wise Disk Cleaner is very very good, no bloat just plain deep cleaning and is a good backup cleaner for Privazer. Argente Disk Cleaner is also very handy.
Agreed 100% Slerion. Wouldn't touch Auslogics now, they include PUPs in everything now even there registry cleaners and defrag tools.
One program that is no longer developed but I wish was still developed is DISM++. I found it super useful back in the day to remove Windows bloat, sad its gone now.
