How To Fix The Windows Registry

[@tasercs]

Without doubt, the most concise explanation I have ever seen on this subject. It means so much more when the person teaching is obviously knowledgeable and speaking from extensive experience! Brilliant

[@petercarter9034]

Thanks for the video, I'm sure many followers will find this information very interesting and useful

[@gotbordercollies]

Thanks Rich this completes the loop 😊

[@GregM]

Would you not normally copy the contents of the regbku folder to the config folder rather than just the System file since you do not know which one of the hive files is causing the issue?

[@itzluvtrin2038]

Tbh would we really be here if we knew how to do this. lol. Plz for future videos sake please just assume all of us are newbies. And personal suggestion/opinion you should start makes a pdf form of step by step instructions and put a link in the disruption for those of us that learn better that way. That would be totally spectacular. Thanks for all u do. Love ur Chanel❤

I periodically use regedit to open the registry and export a copy of it into a sub-folder in my documents folder. Would it be possible to use the recovery option to navigate to the folder with the registry backup and click on it to restore the registry? Thanks for all of your instructional videos. 👍👍

[@johnpedersen8387]

Thanks for video Rich. Does the regbackup file not work in the registry if you import the backup into the registry? If you press the file tab in you normally can import and export the registry.

[@karuntael]

Hai... your video's are awesome... thank you. I tried this on a win11 23h2 computer and it worked, unfortunately it didn't work on a win11 24h2 machine....

[@nakotaapache4674]

nice job as always

Good video! By the way what is the name of your desktop background? :)

[@johnwatson8379]

Awesome video! You're my go to for learning how to fix and upgrade computers! Could you do a video how to change the windows 11 startup sound?

[@terryjwood]

This is so much faster than System Restore!

[@jasonbocarge9309]

Love your videos!!! Can you do a video on when you turn a laptop white and a yellow shell prompt appears and can't exit it. Thanks for your support and consideration. Keep up the good work

[@loupasternak]

i back up all the time, but never had a registry corrupt in well over 2 decades

[@glennpitts1312]

So, we only need to copy the one hive named 'System' to the System32 folder and none of the other hives from the auto backup folder? What else could be used instead of the Hiren to do this copy to System32?

[@shanesstuff1321]

hi there a quick question that you maybe able to help me , what Email Program do you use as i have several folders with email in it , i wish to move to a new email client , please help, thanks from Brisbane Queensland Australia, love your videos thats again Shane

[@colt5189]

System Restore is broken. I can manually create a restore point, and it will eventually disappear. I'm talking like days later. And I have a lot of space setup for System Restore, so it's not a space issue. I've had the same exact problem on Windows 7 computer doing the same thing, but Windows 11 apparently same issue.

[@SADXGamer4]

Have u tried Google? Or Reddit?

[@colt5189]

@ Yes, it looks like a lot of people have this problem too.

[@FilmArtsEugene]

Hey I have the issue of being booted into a Temp user and it keeps booting in and filing up the hard drive. Please help!

[@ma6netho]

resenly i had to reinstall win 11 because a power outake to the house . And made the OS buggy, so when i i tried open any hdd from desktop i got the hovering spinnig wheel over the cursor. So i desided to use the system restore feature when booting up. The restore worked but i had the same bug. So i reintalled windows from usb, and all my apps was gone. I used the same had disk drive , and now is all good.. I don't trust system restore to bail me out anymore , so i have to copy /bacup the whole OS regulary from now on. or disk cloning app.

im not sure if the c: in recovory mode is dessesarely the windows drive

Hi, I have a PC that has the blue screen of death. I want to restore to factory default but I need to copt all my personal files to a USB drive. How and what type of software can I use to copy my files to USB prior to restoration. Thanks in advance. BTW, the OS is Windows 11.

[@thor.halsli]

You drag them from the disk to your usb. Then reinstall.

[@Inoki30]

@@markbaker8280 Thanks, I will give it a try.

[@Inoki30]

@@markbaker8280 I have also tried all the available repair options offered on screen to no avail.

[@natewesselink]

I've always used a bootable Linux USB, whatever one you pick will allow you to copy your files as long as it's not bitlockered.

I never could get my Windows 11 register to automatically generate a backup upon boot up as you described in your previous video.

[@alfredcaleyfromwickedness2now]

I always download and make a copy of your videos so I can learn, but I don't understand German. I always use VLC media player with no problems intell I did the last update of Video Proc Converter AI and the next time I used it, it changed the language in the audio on the output to German when it was set to english. and I even did a reinstal of the VLC. I've did this to both systems, with this video. I've downloaded this video 5 or 6 time only to get a German copy, but your older ones still work fine. I contacted the Video Proc Converter AI company thinking it was there software, but it turns out to being the way you have your video set up. can you please help me out with this?

[@pjotrekse]

...and what is the video called where you taught how to backup the registry? -Sought but no find😢

[@CyberCPU]

If you watch the end of the video it's in the end card.

[@TheAtvman88]

I can't find the older video?

The older video is entitled, "Microsoft is Still Making it Harder to Fix Windows." I will paste the link into a subsequent reply.

[@scottdimond7919]

There is a program you can get called shadow explorer which allows you to get individual files from a restore point

[@KW-ei3pi]

You have a great channel with extremely valuable information, yet there is something that many KZbin creators miss completely, and it is this: You are screen capturing what YOU see, setting in front of your monitor. What you are seeing is NOT the same as what viewers are seeing went watching the video on THEIR choice of monitor, be that a phone or 70 inch TV screen. As well, everyone's eyesight is different and a great number of viewers require eyesight aids, IE glasses or contacts. So, at around 3:30 when you switch to screen capturing your monitor with the Explorer window not maximized, but only taking up about 30% of your screen, it's very difficult to see for many viewers. After struggling to see what you were doing, I just quit watching. Many KZbin creators fail to understand this and in many cases, it makes their video tutorials difficult or even impossible to follow along with. Thank you, Regards.

[@TheCSteve]

Thanks for the clone tutorial from clonezilla .. But if i migrate to windows 11 then i have a problem with my soundcard .. Then it turns USB off if i dont use audio and when i going to use audio the USB turns to ON .. When i put my old system back in the PC then everything works .. So i stay for a while on windows 10 because i need a new Soundcard.. Again pushed to pay 300 dollar 😞

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

Surely, the corrupt SYSTEM folder should have been deleted prior to copying. Otherwise, there will still be a load of unwanted junk in the SYSTEM folder after the copy. Windows may well ignore it, but why not get rid of it?

[@Eternal_Tech]

When copying a file with the same name in the same folder, the original file is completely replaced with the new file. That is, copying a file with the same name will delete the original file.

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

@Eternal_Tech Yes, I understand that. But I am unaware whether different instances of the registry might have differently named files within any of the copied folders. Hence, my question. If they don't, then obviously, it wouldn't be an issue.

[@Keoperz]

sir i check my regback folder but there is no backup that folder is empty

[@charlesmcclintock9955]

I ended up with two Microsoft accounts. Is there a way to easily combine both of them into one?

[@Pauliepsi]

You're still using hirens, create your own virtual environment, years ago I did it on disc now it's on disk. Just rename the "system" you don't have to copy and paste anything. You can create a bat file that puts everything to 0 or 1. DISM will do the same thing.

[@freedomearthmoon1]

Why not, Don't "F" with registry? Then none of this is an issue or needs to be covered, thought about or Fixed!

[@cdpond]

Okay, maybe I'm dense between the ears.... but you knew to replace a file that you knew was buggered up, because you buggered it up. What I'm struggling with is if you end up with a corrupted registry, how do you know which files to replace? Or do you just replace everything using what was in the backup folder you'd created?

[@Daityayuga]

While installing Linux Mint Cinnamon on my HP Pavilion Gaming 15 ec2000, which has Windows 11 installed, I am encountering an error Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found Failed to load image ??: Not Found Failed to start MokManager: Not Found Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed: Not Found ....kindly help me please to resolve this problem 😢 my exams are coming I have to study

Thanks big fella, copy system .. Well there ya go, one shortcut I've never seen using CMD.

[@Dan-mf4wx]

[@CyberCPU]

You should always have a backup. This is only for the local machine registry hives.

It is not possible to fully restore the Windows registry, some entries can't be changed back.

I need a win without head dash of c and c ++ lib configuration

[@yourpcmd]

I've got a video idea for you. Unable to upgrade 22H2 with 23H2 or 24H2. If you are installing Windows 11 using 22H2 as it allows installation of a local account with a dummy email and password, you cannot update to 23H2 or 24H2. You get an error: This PC can't be upgraded to this version of Windows. It should be interesting if you do it. Thanks!

[@jeanpepin5869]

Pourquoi il y a un registre dans Windows ? Ça sert à quoi et comment ça marche ? Est-ce que c'est inspiré du JCL ? ;)

[@logoninternet]

Love the thumbnail lol

[@lizerdkeng1107]

So restoring the registry is this single system file?

[@CyberCPU]

In the example I used that file will restore the local machine \ system hive. If your driver hive is the corrupted hive you would need to restore the backup for the driver hive. The same process would apply to all the hives under Local Machine.

What I really need to know is, how to stop my processes from getting out of control! I have 36 processes of just browser stuff, which does not equate to the number of tabs and plugins I have running. Teams alone has 12! And how do I totally block this AI For Windows stuff from ever running? I've got 5 of those running right now. And so much other crap I don't even know what most of it is.

[@GregM]

The only time I look at what processes are running on my computer is when my computer is having issues. Otherwise, I use my computer and do not worry about how many processes are running on it.

intentionally corrupt the registry, interesting video

[@barrymarcus3425]

The title of your video is misleading. Unintended, I'm sure. Fix implies a repair of the Windows registry. "Restore the Windows registry to fix a corrupt registry" would have been a better choice for the title of this video.

[@fragalot]

I honestly wish the Registry didn't exist.. other operating systems don't use anything like this.

[@bme7491]

All major operating systems use some kind of system configuration files. Linux's "dconf" would be the closest equivalent here. And rather than being in one place like Windows, Linux distributes these files across different directories.

[@vla2uv]

Not identical, but that doesn't mean you know what you're talking about!

[@Mario583a]

John Cena: Are you sure about that?

[@bme7491]

@@vla2uv two different implementations of the system configuration. And you can screw one up just as easily as the other. And where did I say the implementations were identical? Answer: I didn't. No need for snarky comments.

[@vla2uv]

Well, that easy so to speak but what if don't know which is the corrupted/missing - whatever - file so that you'll know which one should be replaced?! Or, could be replaced any others files altogether from a previous back-up?! Why do I have the legitimate felling that you deliberately left it for another video?!
