Registry cleaners can be tricky sometimes, before you adapt changes to it, ALWAYS take a back up.
Use TFC to get rid of temporary files:

Be sure to save any unsaved work and reboot when cleaning is done (if not automatically)
Next step, defragment your hard disk by using Auslogics:

Note: don't let any programs open except for Auslogics
Since when did your computer slow down ? Did you install new software ?

Also it may be a good ideal to check the Autoruns to see what is running in the background.

bartblaze the order that OP needs to do the work is TFC first and then Auslogic Defrag. Get all the uninstalling and deleting done first before defragging or you will have to do it again.
Also it may be a good ideal to check the Autoruns to see what is running in the background.
Indeed, I swapped them somehow . Changed.
And yes, Autoruns is handy, just waiting till he replies... maybe TFC and defragging did the job .

Download Autoruns from the link in my signature below:
1: Extract the Autoruns Zip file contents to a folder.
2: Double-click the "Autoruns.exe".
3: Click on the "Everything" tab
4: Remove any entries that mention "File Not Found" by right-clicking the entry and select Delete.
5: Go to File then to Export As or Save in some versions.
6: Save AutoRuns.txt file to known location like your Desktop.
7: Attach to your next reply.
Lets see what you have in your startup

In the empty white area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save As

Please start your own topic
Although your issue may seem similar there can be other factors that may need to be resolved.
By bumping on someone's topic it makes it confusing for the tech to understand who they are helping. This can in turn cause the wrong support to be given and can cause instability or worse to happen to your system.
Thank you for your cooperation.
