I have used CCleaner for several years with no problems.

Best to start just by running "Cleaner" with the default settings, deleting/fixing everything, then "Registry", saving a back-up of the registry when it asks.

I have also clicked on "Windows Event Logs" and "Old Prefetch data" but you may prefer not to go beyond the default settings.

Also, try clicking on "Tools" then "Startup" and see what loads every time you start your computer. You can click on any of the listed items and disable them to see if that reduces your boot time and frees up memory. Disable, don't delete, then you can always enable if needed, and don't touch anything with Microsoft or your antivirus shown as being the publisher.
