Action
The registry should be cleaned up. For information on how to clean the registry, see

In case of problems with the installation of the Scrubber utility provided by Microsoft,
contact Microsoft Product Support Services.
It is recommended to perform registry management tasks periodically to prevent the
registry from filling.

server, or during local backup when the application system (which is the same
