New User -- Would Like to Know More About Fixing My Own Computer

kallista.hawk.09

Hey,

So, I'm new to Bitdefender. I purchased a subscription because it seems like a reputable company. I have only had the service for a day, but it isn't helping with some of the bugs I've had on my computer recently—hence the purchase.

Whenever my computer half-breaks, I try fixing it, but it ends up almost the same. I run a Windows computer and usually think I have a problem with my registry or .NET.

I'm not sure what resource to check out to figure out how to fix my registry or make sure my .NET is running correctly.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to start?

You should not mess with or clean your registry using any registry cleaning software until you are completely sure of what you are doing because one wrong move and your PC can stop booting. Also, Microsoft is against the use of registry cleaners on Windows. Have a look at the link stated below.
