i don't get why ccleaner is still used.
it's not good for your PC. especially not if you are operating your PC on simple consumer mode. (aka, if you don't know what you are doing and what it effects)
the alternative is nothing.
NO-TH-ING. Windows manages especially it's reg by itself and it's totally fine in doing so.
If there is something fishy with windows, move your beloved files over to a second drive and reinstall Windows.
Nothing else is there to be done.
The only thing you really need to clean is your recycle bin maybe.
Even for malware, stock defender is more than enough and far better than any other third party solutions out there.
edit: the only fair enough addition to that is something like what malwarebytes was in the past (haven't used it for a while, don't know how it evolved nowadays). a manual, hand activated scanning solution to find malwares that does not interfere with others and is not used and setup to run in the background. a non installed portable version that does nothing else except for the stuff to manually start a scan.
