jv16 Powertools Registry Cleaner & Windows 10

Hello Community,

Lately here even before the latest update I have been noticing many inconsistencies with the Registry Cleaner. First off, every single scan I get a Microsoft Shared.dll file. (See Image) I choose not to show again EVERYTIME and it keeps reappearing, I've even looked in the view files I control not to show and it's in there but it keeps showing up. This file I've come to find is a CORE file in Windows 10 Home. I ran an sfc /scannow and this file was missing and had to be replaced. Secondly, aside from this file, I'm getting different results every time even when I don't clean anything and my status % changes constantly. On one scan I get a variety of small repeated registry errors, when I choose not to clean and back out and run the scan again I don't even get those same files, every time I just get the core file I mentioned and ONLY that one. When I look at my main page where it displays the status and health of the registry it goes up and down based on me just running and not even cleaning anything. Has anybody else run into inconsistencies like this? I have been using jv16 Powertools since 2003 and I have to be honest I'm starting to question it's efficiency and accuracy. I have never seen such inconsistencies.

Thanks,

I noticed the same, also a problem with the % of the registry after scanning never reached 100%, the new update has fixed it the one time I've managed to complete the scan but it still has many problems.

I had to constantly check each entry & often found Microsoft related entries or entries for my programs which when removed broke said programs, I ended up with a long list of hidden entries.

I too question whether the program is any good.
