Those who are searching for free Netflix movies and tv shows can have some peace now. The streaming giant has created a new web page where it’s offering a handful of original titles at no cost. In fact, you don’t even need a Netflix account to watch them.
These free Netflix titles are part of a promotional campaign aimed at winning potential subscribers. The aim is to give the viewers an idea of what they are missing by not having a Netflix account.

After weeks of leaks and rumors, Poco has officially announced the arrival of a new Poco device — POCO X3 NFC. The device is a successor to the Poco X2 that was launched in February.
In a tweet, Poco has said that the device will be unveiled on September 7th at an online event, and that the live stream will begin at 20:00 (GMT+8).
Well, considering our #POCOLeaksKing@anguskhng has leaked everything already. We decided to make it all official!
A few specifications of Poco X3 are still a mystery, but there are no doubts that the device will be a performance champ. Qualcomm has said that Poco X3 will be the first device to come with Snapdragon 732G.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G is a gaming-focused chipset that offers an improved GPU and CPU over the Snapdragon 730. Qualcomm claims the chip can deliver Adreno 618 GPU, which will be a boost in graphic rendering. The chip supports Bluetooth 5 and is ready for WiFi 6.
At the chipset announcement, Sam Jiang, Poco Global head, said, “We are extremely excited about the upcoming POCO smartphone and our collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies that allowed us to create the first device on the market with the latest Snapdragon 732G Mobile Platform.”
Other rumored POCO X3 NFC specifications are a 6.67-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 5,160mAh battery, and 33W fast charging. Users speculate that the device will have an AMOLED panel.
Poco Global product marketing manager Angus Kai Ho Ng said the device would have a 64MP primary lens. It will most probably be a quad camera setup. In his tweet, he also shared a few shots taken from the Poco X3. He also confirmed fast charging support in another tweet and said the device could be fully charged in about 65 minutes.
Testing out the camera set-up with the latest #POCOX3
It's really more than just a normal 64MP
Lots of cool awesome features to share very soon!
Christopher Nolan’s much-awaited sci-fi movie ‘Tenet’ premiered this week. As expected, the title has been a trending search on Google and torrent sites.
The blockbuster title has caused a storm on the internet, and torrent uploaders are making the most of it by tricking users into downloading fake torrent files.
If you’re looking forward to downloading the movie, we must warn you that there is no ‘real’ Tenet torrent available as of now. Websites and torrent sites are flooded with fake pirated torrents of the movie.
If you search Pirate Bay for the Tenet movie, you’ll see hundreds of torrent links of fake pirated Tenet movies. Chances are that some of these phony torrent files could drop malware on your device and lure you into entering your bank account details.
For instance, guys at Torrent Freak tried downloading a Tenet torrent from Pirate Bay and ended up with a 700MB file. The file showed a still image and asked people to go through the ReadMe file and install a codec required to play the video.
The text in the ReadMe file directed them to a suspicious website that required credit card details for “verification purposes”. From there it was obvious that the uploader was trying to dupe them.
Top rated torrent sites are aware of the piracy storm Tenet could bring. As they deploy measures to curb it, the popularity of Nolan’s movie could drive some novice users to download fake torrent files that could siphon off money from their bank accounts.
Nevertheless, we do not support piracy and recommend our readers wait for the theatre’s release or wait until it is available on an OTT platform.

After rolling out premium smartphones with a $1,000 tag, OnePlus has made a return to the budget smartphone segment with OnePlus Nord. Launched at Rs 24,999 in India, it is one of the most popular budget smartphones these days owing to the features it packs.
Since OnePlus Nord is a budget smartphone, the company had to make some tradeoffs to keep the price minimum. Some of the shortcomings of OnePlus Nord are the plastic frame, mono speaker, lack of UFS 3.1, and more. Here is a list of 5 things missing from OnePlus Nord. Keeping aside these shortcomings, one of the significant issues faced by OnePlus Nord is the green tint issue.
Within a week of its sale, several OnePlus Nord users complained that they were facing green tint display issues on their smartphones. Before the OnePlus Nord display issues, the company received quite a flak for green tint and black crush issues on OnePlus 8 Pro, a $1,000 premium device.
If you own OnePlus Nord, there is a chance you might have unknowingly come across the OnePlus green tint display issue. Here’s how to check whether your smartphone is suffering from the issue or not.
OnePlus Nord Green Tint Display Issue: What is it?
The green tint is a very common issue in smartphones with an AMOLED panel, and OnePlus Nord is no exception. In layman’s terms, when you’re using the smartphone in a dark environment with brightness at around 10-15%, and if there is a grey or dark-colored background on the screen, some areas appear to be green. This issue is a result of faults in the manufacturing process of the AMOLED panel.
However, OnePlus has clarified that “this is characteristic of all OLED displays and the degree of discoloration will vary depending on other properties of the display. This is not a quality issue and will not affect daily usage or the durability of the screen.” (via 9to5Google)
OnePlus Nord Green tint Display Issue: How to check?
To see if your OnePlus device is facing a display issue, here is what you need to do:
.Go to a dark room or create a dark environment by closing the doors/windows of your room.
Next, put your OnePlus Nord on flight mode and open the Chrome browser in dark mode.
Visit any website so that it displays a black screen with the message “No internet”
Turn off ‘Adaptive brightness’ and slowly lower the brightness level to around 10-20%
If you can now see OnePlus Nord’s AMOLED screen exhibiting green tinting or pinkish tint towards the lower half of the display, your OnePlus Nord is suffering from display issues.
If you’re not seeing any color casting or any discolouration, your unit might not have the issue we’re talking about.
Here is a video for your reference:
OnePlus Nord Display Issues: What can you do about it?
Since OnePlus has clarified that green tint issues in OnePlus Nord are an inherent property of AMOLED panels, there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. If your OnePlus Nord is exhibiting the worst green tint issues, you can report it at OnePlus Forum and wait until the support staff picks up your issue. Since several people have reported the issue on Reddit as well as OnePlus forum, there are chances that OnePlus might look forward to resolving this issue with a software update if possible but the chances are really slim.
PUBG Mobile players are incredibly excited about the upcoming Update 1.0, which will revolutionize the game. We already know that the new update will finally introduce Erangel 2.0 while also releasing the Ultra HD graphics for the game.
However, players still don’t know much about the 1.0 Update, which will be released on September 8th. For instance, the fan-favorite ‘Infection Mode’ is coming back in PUBG Mobile Update 1.0, which is pretty exciting.
“Infection Mode” was first introduced on PUBG Mobile last year with the 0.14.0 update. However, the game was only available for a limited time.
In the game mode, 12 players are divided into two teams, i.e., Defenders and Zombies. To win, Defenders have to protect themselves until the timer runs out, whereas Zombies have to infect Defenders to win.
PUBG Mobile didn’t officially announce the comeback of Infection Mode for Update 1.0; however, the game mode is already available to play in the Beta version. So, it’s quite evident that the game mode will be released in the global version of PUBG Mobile as well. Also, players will have to be at Level 5 to unlock the ‘Infection Mode.’
PUBG Mobile Infection Mode
Besides the Infection Mode reintroduction, PUBG Mobile Update 1.0 will also release an upgraded version of Payload game mode.
The Payload 2.0 game mode is going to make things a lot more exciting on PUBG Mobile. That’s because it will introduce helicopters, UAV, Anti bomb Suit, Radar, and a lot of other fantastic features in PUBG Mobile.

When it comes to the best cars under Rs 6 lakh for the high daily driving requirements of more than 1,000 km per month, petrol cars with CNG options are the best choice. Today, we will be exploring the best cars under Rs. 6 lakh in India that offer great value for money, performance, and fuel efficiency so that one can use them for their daily usage without any problem.
We have chosen three main cars, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Tata Tiago, and Maruti Suzuki Celerio. We will be taking a look at the best value for money variant of each of these cars. Both cars from Maruti Suzuki come with a factory-installed CNG option, but with advancements in the aftermarket CNG, cars with no CNG options like Tata Tiago can be retrofitted with a cylinder to return excellent fuel efficiency. As for the question of engine warranty being voided due to aftermarket CNG installation, we will also provide you with a solution for the same.
Best Cars Under Rs 6 Lakh: Maruti Suzuki Celerio
Image: Maruti Suzuki
Maruti Suzuki Celerio is one of the most popular budget CNG cars in India. Very recently, cab aggregators have also started using Maruti Celerio CNG as a fleet car. Maruti Suzuki Celerio is available in Petrol as well as in CNG options with prices starting at Rs 4.41 lakh (ex-showroom). But we recommend the Maruti Celerio VXI (O) CNG variant of the Celerio priced at Rs. 5.72 lakh (ex-showroom), to get the best bang for your buck. Despite being a small hatchback, it provides plenty of cabin space, decent quality interior plastic, and excellent highway stability.
Due to its wide stance, Celerio can maintain a high speed without any issues. If your commute involves a lot of highway driving then Maruti Celerio is a great option.
Maruti Celerio Petrol: Review
Maruti Suzuki Celerio is powered by a BS6 compliant 1-liter 3-Cylinder petrol engine that churns out around 67 BHP and 90 Nm of peak torque. Despite being a 3-Cylinder engine, Celerio is quite refined. If we talk about its real-world performance then according to one of the owners it’s perfect as long as you drive it below a speed of 120 km/h. He said if you go beyond that then the car will struggle, which is acceptable considering its segment.
In terms of comfort, one of the owners of Maruti Celerio said that he is 5’11” tall still the driver’s seating position was quite comfortable for him. However, few owners have had mixed reviews about the legroom from the driver’s point of view. Apart from that, Celerio has a good amount of ground clearance.
One of the best features that many owners feel is its front visibility which enhances the driving experience. Well moving forward towards the mileage of Maruti Celerio, the car has comfortably delivered a fuel-efficiency of around 23 km/l with its BS4 variants. However, with the new BS6 compliant engines, the automaker claims that Maruti Celerio can deliver a fuel economy of up to 21.63 km/l on highways. If we talk about city and hilly regions, it can safely churn out a fuel-economy of around 18 km/l. Maruti Suzuki cars are known for their excellent fuel economy and Celerio is no different.
Maruti Celerio CNG Review
Image: Car Duniya
2020 Maruti Celerio comes with a factory-fitted CNG option, which makes it one of the best budget CNG cars under Rs. 6 lakh in India. The biggest perk of having a CNG car is obviously the higher mileage. In the case of Celerio, the automaker claims to have a mileage of 30.47 kg/km. According to its owners, one can easily get a fuel economy of 25 km/kg in the city and 28-29 km/kg on highways while driving Celerio CNG.
Maruti also provides a separate digital fuel meter for CNG on the MID, which is very handy. Apart from this, the most obvious downside of getting a CNG fitted car is the loss of boot space and the same is with Maruti Celerio. However, due to Maruti Celerio being a factory-fitted CNG car, the performance on CNG is quite impressive. According to one of the reviewers, one cannot get the same level of tuning in an aftermarket CNG as they get in a factory fitted one. Most of the time while driving Maruti Celerio on CNG mode, the car delivers the same performance as it’d in the case of a petrol car.
Best Cars Under Rs 6 Lakh: Tata Tiago
Image: Tata Motors
With a four-star rating in the global NCAP crash test, Tata Tiago is the safest car in its segment and the segment above it as well. In terms of safety, it is outmatched only by its big brother Tata Altroz, which is a premium hatchback. Tata Tiago is available only with a BS6 compliant 1.2-liter 3-Cylinder petrol engine available in both manual and automatic transmission. The price of Tiago starts at Rs 4.60 lakh (ex-showroom). Unlike Maruti Suzuki Celerio and WagonR, Tata Tiago is not offered with a factory-fitted CNG kit.
The best value for the money variant of Tata Tiago is the Tata Tiago XZ Plus, which comes with alloy wheels, touch screen, cooled glove box, and a lot more. However, in order to stay true to the title of this article, we will recommend the Tata Tiago XT version priced at Rs. 5.20 lakh (ex-showroom) that you should go for. You can also go for the Tata Tiago XE version, but personally, we won’t recommend it because the manual window placement in this variant is in an awkward position. Even if you plan to install aftermarket windows in XE, the window switch will hit your leg from the side. There’s a way to get it done, but the procedure will leave a hollow space in place for the original manual window switch.
Tata Tiago Petrol
In terms of performance and handling, Tiago is one of the best cars within the given price range. Under the hood, a 1.2-liter three-cylinder Revotron BS6 compliant engine powers the car with a maximum output of 84 BHP and 113 Nm torque.
As per several owner experiences, one may not get an instant torque while accelerating the car but there will not be any power lag. Tiago delivers a constant power output even at higher speeds. However, in the updated BS6 Tata Tiago, the engine is very peppy and delivers a much better pickup compared to the previous generation. Tiago is very stable on highways and cornering which enhances the driving experience. One of the main highlights of the Tata Tiago is its responsive steering. The city driving in the car is very easy as the steering is easily turned using a single finger and returns to the center after taking the turn. There is no “dead-spot” in the steering and it is very responsive. Even the slightest turn is registered on the road. Driving the Tata Tiago is an engaging experience.
Image: Tata Motors
Additionally, Tata has provided a premium interior along with comfortable seats and sufficient room inside the cabin. If we talk about its most highlighting features then it’s the Harman and Kardon speakers in every model except XE. In terms of real-world mileage, Tata Tiago delivers 20 km/l on highways and about 16 km/l in the city.
When it comes to the shortcomings of the car, then it’s the engine noise and vibrations. However, both of these issues have been resolved to a really great extent in the BS6 Tata Tiago facelift variant.
Tata Tiago With After-Market CNG Kit
Image: DDS
Tiago is not offered with a factory-fitted CNG kit. However, some users get it done by installing an aftermarket CNG in Tiago. One of Tiago’s owners had installed a Tomasetto sequential kit with a 12kg cylinder capacity which cost him Rs 31,000. The price of the CNG kit may fluctuate depending upon the quality of the CNG kit. As per this report, Tiago delivers a mileage of around 25km/kg in CNG mode.
In terms of performance, he felt power lag at low RPMs in CNG mode, however, the power delivery was quite smooth after the third gear. This is a problem in several after-market CNGs. However, several CNG kits with advancers claim to deliver performance close to a factory fitted one. Lovato CNG kits are best suited for Tata cars, according to one of the owners.
Getting an aftermarket CNG can void the warranty of a car’s engine. To counter this problem, you can go for a dealer fitted CNG option. Several Tata dealers offer the facility a dealer-fitted CNG kit, which is approved by the showroom and does not cause any voidance of the warranty. Usually, these showrooms have a tie-up with a Government-authorised CNG kit dealer, which does the installation on behalf of the Tata showroom.
Such an option would be slightly more expensive than buying an aftermarket CNG on your own. But it’s worth the peace of mind. For those who do install an aftermarket CNG all by themselves, Lovato CNG kits are the best option and they usually run without any issues. Just make sure to get it installed at a Government-authorised service center.
Similar to the factory-fitted CNG, you can get a fuel-filling pump in Tata Tiago near its petrol filling lid. This can be done via a special request from your dealer.
Best Cars Under Rs 6 Lakh: Maruti Suzuki Wagon R
Image: Maruti Suzuki
The new Wagon R is offered in three different engine options: a 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine along with a CNG option and a 1.2-liter four-cylinder option. All variants other than the CNG are available with an automatic transmission option, and the CNG version is only available with an MT. Prices for the new Maruti WagonR starts at Rs 4.45 lakh (ex-showroom).
The best value for money variant of Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is the Wagon R LXI (O) CNG priced at Rs. 5.25 lakh (ex-showroom), which comes with factory fitted CNG. There is also a WagonR VXI 1.2-Liter option. But I’ll explain why you should and should not go for it later in the article.
Maruti Wagon R: Petrol
Image: Maruti Suzuki
On paper, the 1.0-liter engine generates 67 BHP and 90 Nm of torque, while the 1.2-liter engine produces 82 BHP and 113 Nm of peak torque. As per their power output, the 1.0-liter engine offers decent performance, whereas the 1.2-liter is quite punchy in power delivery. Additionally, the 1.2-liter engine provides a good engine response and it quickly achieves a speed of 100 km/h. However, the car has a noticeable amount of body roll on turns, which is not a good sign. The high body roll in Wagon R also defeats the purpose of having a bigger 1.2-liter more powerful engine. As the car will feel unstable at high speed and if driven slow it’d be unable to utilize all of its power.
Apart from this, Maruti Wagon R has ample headroom and boot space. The new Wagon R is bigger than before and has the largest boot space in its segment. It’s designed to be more comfortable than its sibling Celerio and deals with road bumps and patches quite effectively.
Maruti Wagon R: CNG
Image: Indian Autos Blog
Maruti provides a factory-fitted CNG kit in Wagon R, which is totally hassle-free. Wagon R has quite a smooth power delivery in CNG mode. In terms of mileage, the CNG variant of Wagon R with a claimed fuel economy of 32.52 km/kg, has the best figure out of all three cars here. The boot space in Wagon R is also reduced by a good amount, but since the car has a big 310-liter space the CNG cylinder leaves plenty of room for luggage.
Best Cars Under Rs 6 Lakh: Which One To Buy?
All the above-mentioned cars are among the best selling cars in their segments. All of them have their own perks and drawbacks. Moreover, it depends on individuals’ requirements which one suits them the most.
Celerio is a good option for those looking for a decent performing car with great handling and high-speed stability. Also with its CNG variant, you can achieve a higher mileage.
On the other hand, go for Maruti Suzuki if you prefer to drive slowly and want a spacious cabin. It’s a highly fuel-efficient car addition and it has plenty of boot space making it suitable for carrying more luggage. Furthermore, its factory fitted CNG variant makes it a hassle-free fuel-efficient car to own, just like the Celerio.
For those asking “Why should we buy Tata Tiago?”. Well if you want a well-built and fun-to-drive car, then Tiago is the best option for them. Tata Tiago is also very impressive in terms of ride quality and high-speed stability. The small hatch also has a world-class suspension that offers plush ride quality even on the bumpiest of roads. The after-market CNG is a small price to pay for all the benefits you get from a well-built car.
Moreover, as I said earlier it depends more on your purpose of buying a car.
Anyway, do share your views in the comments section below on which one will you go for and why?
Nowadays, many EV brands including Tesla are planning to integrate efficient solar panels into electric pickup trucks. However, WorkSport, an OEM, claims to have already made one. Canadian-based company Worksport has launched solar charging panels specifically designed for EV trucks.
Worsksport is famous for making truck bed covers for electric and ICE pick-up trucks. The company serves mainly in the US and Canada. Worksport has launched these solar panels through a new website, www.GoTerraVis.com.
The solar panels are one of a kind due to their design and functionality. This technology seems to be interesting in a lot of ways. Here’s all you need to know about this solar charging system.
Electric Truck Battery Range: Worksport To The Rescue
As the company is an expert in making truck bed covers, they used it as a base for their product. Their hybrid design, between a truck bed cover and a solar panel, is called TerraVis. The system is made with the objective of creating intelligent accessories for electric pick-up trucks and improving them in terms of battery range.
The idea is to take advantage of the practical abilities of a pick-up truck and utilize the power of renewable and sustainable energy.
Steven Rossi, the CEO of Worksport said, “Everyone is moving towards solar power and renewable energy sources and so is the pick-up truck market. Our system is being designed to, among other things, provide a meaningful source of energy for the new wave of electric trucks.”
Benefits Of TerraVis: EV Trucks Solar Panels
Here’s how these panels will work. When sunlight falls on the cover, it charges and stores energy in multiple battery packs. Later this stored energy is supplied as electric power to the motor. In addition, the system will be made removable and the stored energy can be used for other purposes as well.
Apart from this, Steve told us that the system will provide a 25-30% charge needed for the average commuter, from the sun. This means a 300-mile range electric pick-up truck can travel up to 390 miles on a sunny day.
He also mentioned that the solar energy captured by the panel is equivalent to plugging your EV into a standard 110V plug. More importantly, it’s a completely zero carbon footprint technology.
Furthermore, he said that the company’s R&D department is constantly working on making this solar charging system more effective.
As of now, the company is actively looking at EV makers like Tesla to collaborate with so that this technology can be more useful. The company is already set to lock horns with an EV startup in the US that is planning to launch a Pininfarina Designed Electric Truck.
What To Expect From Worksport?
If we look at the current scenario then a number of electric pick-up trucks are going to enter the US market. Whether it be Tesla Cybertruck, Rivian R1T, or several other pick-up trucks, none of them have a solar charging option.
However, Elon Musk has tweeted from time to time that the Tesla Cybertruck might have a solar power option. In fact, we have also seen images of the Cybertruck with a set of solar wings being circulated in the recent past.
All these innovations are aimed at making successful solar panels that can work in integration with other systems of an electric car. On the other hand, if this product from WorkSport hits the market with the same level of efficiency, then it can become a must-buy for all your electric trucks in the near future.

COD Mobile has now started teasing the upcoming content for Season 10. Recently, Call of Duty Mobile announced that the new Season 10 update would introduce the ‘Terminal’ Multiplayer map in the game.
‘Terminal’ is a medium-sized multiplayer map first introduced in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. The map was then remastered as a free DLC for Modern Warfare 3. Now, the same multiplayer map is finally arriving in the mobile version of Call of Duty.
The Call of Duty Mobile team tweeted a foggy picture of the Terminal map confirming it for the next season. “Attention passengers, Flight #: 83764625 is now boarding!,” said Call of Duty Mobile in a tweet. However, only dedicated COD fanatics were able to figure out the map’s name by looking at the picture.
Interestingly, many COD Mobile players thought that the Terminal map would arrive with the Season 9 update. That’s because Call of Duty Mobile already released the map in the beta version of the game a while back.
If you have access to COD Mobile Beta, you can enjoy the Terminal map without waiting for the Season 10 update.
Nevertheless, players can expect the Season 10 update to arrive in the game’s global version in mid-September. So, you will get to board flights on the Terminal map pretty soon.
Microsoft has updated the list of features it has removed from Windows 10. With the latest change, the Connect app has been kicked out of the OS in version 2004.
As you might know, the Connect app on Windows 10 is powered by the Miracast technology and used to project the UI on a wireless display. Also, the app can be used to mirror the display of other devices on your Windows PC, including Android smartphones. However, not many Android devices support the tech.
One of the ways to access the app is by using the ‘Connect’ quick action button in the notifications area. Clicking the button opens the device picker UI, and the same can be triggered using the Windows + K keyboard shortcut.
The wireless projection app has been there on Windows 10 since the release of the OS. But unfortunately, it didn’t gain much traction among the users, probably, when there are easier alternatives out there like Chromecast.
However, the Windows 10 Connect app isn’t going away completely. It will be available as part of the optional features on Windows 10 2004 just like we have other legacy apps, including Internet Explorer.
On Windows 10, you can install an optional feature by going to Settings > Apps > Optional Features > Add a Feature. Here, choose Wireless Display from the list of features.
In February, CNBC reported that Microsoft is planning to bring Windows 10’s default anti-virus system to Android users. The Microsoft Defender Android app is now available on the Google Play Store as a software preview.
In the Android app’s description, Microsoft says that the app is not free right off the bat. And it is only available to enterprise users who have a Microsoft 365 E5 license.
Microsoft Defender ATP mainly targets enterprise users owning Android devices; therefore, it has a few enterprise-focused protection features. Security admins, for instance, can create custom indicators for web protection. The app can also block users who don’t follow the organization’s threat protection policies.
Apart from that, it can warn about suspicious app installations and block malicious web pages opened through WhatsApp, web browser, email, etc.
The selective availability puts the Android app at a disadvantage against the best anti-virus apps on the platform. However, we can’t complain since this is merely a software preview, and Microsoft may have plans for non-enterprise users.
The previous CNBC report also suggested that Microsoft Defender would arrive on Linux and iOS. Of course, it would be interesting to see its capability on Linux, but Microsoft Defender on iOS doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Unlike Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Origins wasn’t developed by Rocksteady Studios. Instead, the game was created by WB Games Montreal, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
The story of the Batman Arkham Origins takes place five years before the events of Arkham Asylum. It follows a younger Batman who has to go against several dangerous criminals, including Joker and Anarky, who are after him after Black Mask put a massive bounty on him. Moreover, a corrupt SWAT team is also after Batman for taking the $50 Million prize for themselves.
Batman Arkham Origins was praised for a lot of things, including its storyline, voice acting, and boss battles. Other than that, a lot of Batman Arkham series fans were disappointed with the game because of some constant technical errors. Also, unlike its predecessors, Origins lacks attention to detail.

Short Bytes: Registry Cleaners remove outdated registry entries from Windows registry. These entries are left by uninstalled programs or created by other Windows services. Here is a list of the top 10 free registry cleaners you can use to keep your windows registry neat and clean.
Windows OS doesn’t regularly clean the registry entries which are outdated or no longer required. Registry cleaners take matters into their own hands.
The basic task of a registry cleaner is that it searches for registry entries which are useless and deletes them. For instance, registry entries left by software that has been removed. And it’s not just software, practically everything you do on your computer creates an entry in the Windows Registry. If you are willing to know more, here’s a detailed article on the basics of Windows Registry.
There are a lot of Windows 10 Registry cleaners lingering on the internet flaunting their capabilities and boasting themselves as the best. However, some can do more harm than good, which we will talk about at the end of this article.
Do keep in mind that using a registry cleaner won’t do any wonders for your computer and it will not boost your PC performance. They’ll only clear out unwanted or outworn registry entries. That’s out of the way, here are some of the best free registry cleaners for your Windows 10 PC —
Note: Make sure to back up all your data before interfering with the Windows 10 registry. It is important to note that Microsoft does not the use of registry cleaners.
CCleaner
Wise
Auslogics
Glarysoft
SlimCleaner
Easy Cleaner
Argente
Eusing
WinUtilties
JetClean
Here is a list of the top 10 free registry cleaners for Microsoft Windows:
1. CCleaner
This Piriform product is probably the best computer optimization freeware that I've used in years. CCleaner's inbuilt registry cleaning utility does most of the job. Its neat and clean interface adds to the ease of access offered by the registry cleaning tool. It asks you whether to back up the registry before making any changes. CCleaner also comes in a paid version but the freeware version would be enough for you.
CCleaner Professional, the paid version, provides automatic browser cleaning, real-time monitoring, and priority support. If these options look beneficial to you, you can grab the paid version. All in all, CClearner is one of the best free registry cleaners for desktop users.
If I take the visual appearance into consideration, I would definitely give an extra point to Wise Cleaner in comparison to CCleaner. But it's not just about visually appealing UI, a windows 10 registry cleaner needs to prove how well it manages your registry entries.
It includes two modes: Fast Scan and Deep Scan. One thing I like about Wise Cleaner is the categorized display of detected errors, unlike CCleaner which displays the errors in an excel sheet-like manner. It automatically backs up your registry. You can also run the Wise registry cleaner from the command line. It also features a registry defrag option.
This best free registry cleaner from Auslogics offers a categorized view in a list form. You can tick the ones you want to fix. The interface of the Auslogics registry cleaner is simple and clean, though not as visually appealing as of Wise Cleaner. A notable feature is that it also displays the severity of the registry error encountered.
It also automatically backs up registry changes it makes during the repair process. If you want to prevent registry backup, click Settings and click Backup Changes. You can go to the Rescue Center to revert changes made by Auslogics registry cleaner.
Glarysoft's Registry Repair is also a great free registry cleaner tool for Windows 10. It'll automatically start the registry scan process as soon as you open the tool. It also offers automatic registry backup before making any changes to the Windows registry preventing your system from any tragic event. You can click on Action to restore previous repairs made through the Glarysoft registry repair.
The free version of the SlimCleaner registry cleaner tool offers some great functionality. Its cleaning utility provides a one-stop solution for all sorts of cleaning rituals for your machine. But this also adds a little difficulty. For instance, if you only need to clean the registry, you will need to untick all checkboxes present in all other tabs. On the bright side, you only have to do this once as the windows 10 registry cleaner remembers the settings thereafter.
This tiny program was created by a Finnish guy named Toni Helenius. The Easy Cleaner has minimalistic graphics options other than the registry cleaner. The visual appearance of the software hasn't been updated much since its launch in 2005. It also allows you to find duplicate files and clean shortcuts pointing to nowhere.
In my tests, the free registry cleaner by Argente Utilities took longer to scan than any other registry cleaner. It includes a wizard-based interface which let's you choose the scan categories manually or automatically.
The interface is not very appealing. You can undo the changes made to the registry and it also offers an automatic cleaning option which will take care of your registry without any interference. It is also available as a portable version. On the downloads page, you can either go for the Argente Utilities or the Registry Cleaner only.
The first thing you'll notice about this registry cleaner is its name. It is quite different. The somewhat ugly-looking tool only offers registry cleaning and repairing option. It also has an option to restore the changes made to the registry in case anything goes wrong.
It is a part of the WinUtilities suite developed by YL Software. Like other free registry cleaners on the list, it also offers restore point creation before making changes to the registry. There is a separate registry cleaner called "ScanMyReg" by the company which is available as paid software.
The registry cleaner by BlueSprig has managed to gather some popularity. It offers quick 1-click cleaning and also has a "Windows Clean" option. One notable feature of JetClean is that you can make a portable version of the software. You can use the Portable option in the Tools tab.
These were the top 10 free registry cleaners. Please note that these are freeware. Hence, their installation process may include an invitation from other adware programs. If you have something to add, tell us in the comments below.
Are registry cleaner necessary?
One of the biggest myths about registry cleaners is that they give a performance boost to the PC. While it may look like it in some cases, mostly it is an illusion. As Malwarebytes rightly puts it, it's a computer version of the placebo effect.
A registry cleaner cleans any unwanted entries, but it doesn't have a substantial effect on the performance. The inconsequential cleaning is certainly not worth the risk of installing a free registry cleaner that may come with malware.
