You can't do it without reformatting at all.
All you can do is erase all the useless shit on your computer.

Over time, with normal use, Windows gets fucked up.
Reformat, or use Linux.
Also, impossible. You want it to be how you got it before doing anything to it, but also to have the things you've done to it.

Agreed, the system configuration and the registry just end being too large and not arranged and it slows down no matter what you do (even if you do nothing).

this is essentially a myth, the registry can become obscenely large with little effect, my registry is 435mb right now and you'd never know in any real world scenario.

"windows rot" is merely the effect of being a lazy bum who thinks they can completely neglect watching over what goes on, on their system while expecting no side effects.

a.k.a. the effect of being an average user.

Maybe it is like that, i don't have that much knowledge especially about the registry, but the system conf really gets just too large with the time. I don't know how much effect does it have, but once installed windows really begins to get slower and slower with the time, no matter what you do and how do you support it.

On my PC I reformat, or will reformat every 3/6 Months, just for the feeling that my PC is fresh and is in mint condition with minimal problems...
My other computers though last years without getting any serious issue until later. The PC I am currently using (Family PC) last installed Windows over a year ago and i am begging to see this "Windows Rott". This PC is getting slower, and yes it is very cluttered since i threw this PC into unused room and all this junk is now on it...

Answer = Reformat and Install Window's...

I download a fresh copy of windows every half a year or so. But if you do it legit it's crazy expensive.


Uh, it's not expensive to do it legit at all. There isn't some magic fee that pops out of nowhere for putting the CD back in the drive.

Because the average person is too inept to understand that installing Windows and formatting aren't the same thing.




I don't understand how people fuck up their OSes so badly. I've never had a virus or any type of malware for that matter, my Windows installation runs almost as fast as it did the day I installed it, and I don't have any of these random problems requiring an OS re-installation like everyone else seems to...

The only time I have to reinstall my OS is when a new OS comes out, or if my OS drive fails (which has happened exactly once in my years of using computers.)

well you can do basics like installing sparklexp creates clean xp hardware/user profile with no crappy memory hog processes. Update your drivers using such a program as driver magician. Use CCleaner, and malwarebytes anti-malware. Hope you have a good anti virus such as avira and online armor free.

There you should have a fast pc no unneeded processes, most all updated drivers for chipset graphics card sound etc, clean of all history and temp files "CCleaner". And hopefully the removal of some spyware...

Had sparkle on my xp laptop had hardcore virus that ate up all space. Just logged in that clean profile, scanned for the virus removed and then blocked it via hosts files. Saved my butt a format.
