“Not all registry cleaners are created equal.” – I agree, they’re all different varieties of snake oil. “Animals do not have a structured language and hence we have no reason to suppose that they have the concepts of past and future, truth, universality, and logical inference or the distinction between what one desires and what one thinks most worthwhile.” I don’t know myself, but it is an interesting question. Maybe go through the discussions on gHacks and ask “Why do so many readers prefer Windows 7 and refuse to make the move to Windows 10?” That was fourteen years ago! Tools for the computer have evolved to such a degree that on gHacks and elsewhere there is nothing but third party solutions to fix what MS can’t properly execute. to see what Windows Update does to a perfectly fine running computer.

Since news is already out that MS is “taking over” machines and forcing the Windows Update, I would seriously question the term “snake oil.” Sounds more like Windows Update is a type of “snake oil” that offers nothing but more problems. Fortunately, I didn’t have to use an “unlocker.” I did, however, use the Take Ownership context menu item. Unlocking a file in use is, for most experienced users, an unavoidable occurrence.

Not all registry cleaners are created equal.

Experienced users on gHacks tend to have nothing but contempt for Windows Update tools. Maybe go ahead and use Windows Update, as preferred.
