If that means "automatic" registry cleaning, I do that with Eusing Registry Cleaner from time to time.

I can't remember where it was discussed, but I remember that deleting the registry keys of a remote mod program helped. Manual search.
I'm not sure about AviaSkins.Forums anymore. Important the mod had access to the network.

Thank you, it sounds reasonable. We just missing this "mod program" name.

I remember discussions about Winpcap. It did not allow some users (including myself) to install 4.14 until all traces were removed, from the registry as well.
Still, after everything winpcap related was removed, I could not join 4.14 servers on my previous PC.

In my new PC the hardware is fresh, disks wiped, OS just installed. But I did not check it for that treacherous Winpcap, my fault. Could it be a part of the Win 10 installation, I wonder... I'll check when I'm back home.

Gremlin hunting goes on.

And the name of the gremlin is...
Winpcap.
Thanks to nevr44 for reminding about that treacherous little weasel which finds its way through other programs.
The problem is that it generates several files with the names other than "winpcap". Luckily, Win 10 search can find them.

Files deleted, registry checked.
And I am able to join 4.14 servers. The problem is resolved.
