![]() With AMD systems, you’ll get a more recent version of the chipset driver from AMD’s site.Microsoft is now detecting the popular CCleaner Windows optimization and Registry cleaner program as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) in Microsoft Defender. If it’s a custom build, update your drivers from the manufacturer’s page for your board. If your system is from an OEM (Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, etc) they will have a utility that handles drivers for you. My word of caution is to not bother with the Driver Updater (or any “driver updating” software for that matter). I don’t think it’s a utility worth paying for - if you did, it would just automatically clean up ~25MB every hour which isn’t really beneficial. The overwhelming majority of the time (98%), it doesn’t really do anything, but I run it because of the few times it has mitigated some really jacked up behavior or obscure issues. I run the registry optimization on at least a thousand computers every year and I’ve never had to restore from the backup that I create beforehand. You’re also going to get a bunch of folks repeating the trope that the registry cleaner will break a system. The custom clean can turn multiple menus / interactions into a single button, which is why I use it in the context of running my repair business and giving my clients an easy way to free up space for themselves. Disk Cleanup won’t clear out caches or cookies from your browsers, and in my experience CCleaner covers more ground than it does. You’re going to get recommendations to just use Disk Cleanup. Regular users weren’t ever really at risk - you’re good to go. Well, here we go again - another CCleaner post accompanied by parroted misinformation in the comments.įirst, the security vulnerability was a long time ago (2017) and mostly targeted enterprise systems.
