The registry is a big database inside the Windows system, which stores vital settings, options and information for your computer. It’s where your system & all your software stored settings that your computer requires to run. The problem is that Windows often uses this database so much that it saves many parts of it in the wrong way, causing it to become damaged & corrupted.
