registery defrag on startup

[Momenaut]

I'm trying to get a leg up on some sporadic stuttering issues I've been having in windows, and in my games lately just after my first OC. I thought the OC might be the culprit so I reverted it but the stuttering persisted. Now just on restart, my pc auto ran a registry defrag before it loaded windows. What I want to know is does that sound like it possibly fixed my possible problem or should I keep probing?

If the stuttering continues to happen, keep probing. Otherwise problem solved.

First of all - do not touch registry or use any stupid registry defrags / optimizers. They do not fix anything and may even made your system worse.

Registry defrag is done by some software you have installed. Its not basic Windows process.

 

For troubleshooting we need to know more about your issues and system.

In that case, it's probably from advanced system care 11. I used driver booster for years without issue so I trusted the brand (iobit) When I look at the options on advanced system care I do see now that it has a registry defrag and registry cleanup option which I've definitely ran more than once. So how do I undo any potential damage caused by this? The stuttering seems to happen mostly after I wake the pc from sleep and is resolved for a while after a soft restart. I'm running Win10 pro N installed on an SSD in a 3570k Z77A-G45 system.

1) Driver Booster is shit. Paying for that is waste of money. ASC is ok, and you can continue with it. Just turn off any automatic fixes related to registry.

 

I've paid for ASC, but not anymore as I felt like it didn't do anything special anymore. I still pay for Smart Defrag as it's fastest defrag I have used.

 

2) Stutter after sleep is your RAM, pagefile and drive where pagefile is having trouble. For sleep everything is stored to pagefile and hibernation file from RAM. And then unloaded back to RAM. Soft restart clears those, thus solving issue.

So is there any good program or cmd line I can run to test that? I don't have a spare ddr3 to swap with.

You can disable hiber sleep too check is it ram or hdd issue.

I don't think its hardware issue with RAM. It might be just too little RAM, too little pagefile, read/write speeds of drives (if your hibernation file is on HDD) and so on. If you want to make sure its not hardware issue with RAM, Memtest86 is still tool to use. Do note that you need to run it over 12h to get reliable results.
