@@shantanu3767 the only way is to reinstall windows if you're facing any severe issue without a restore point

[@unloveableandre]

Summary Starting in Windows 10, version 1803, Windows no longer automatically backs up the system registry to the RegBack folder. If you browse to the \Windows\System32\config\RegBack folder in Windows Explorer, you will still see each registry hive, but each file is 0 kb in size. [12:05 AM] Andrew Lima This change is by design, and is intended to help reduce the overall disk footprint size of Windows. To recover a system with a corrupt registry hive, Microsoft recommends that you use a system restore point.

[@desboom7890]

is there a way to fix it if ur registry directory is empty? Mine is literally 0 and i looked up some videos about it and they mentioned that windows does backup these files automatically anymore so.... is there a solution? I'd appreciate any response and thanks in advance.

[@Ronickon]

This info is no longer relevant. Regback is disabled and null.

[@DellEnterpriseSupport]

Hi Ronickon, this video is made for Windows Server and in Version 2022 RegIdleBackup is still enabled. If you are using Windows 10 version 1803 and above, this feature is disabled by default. This feature can be restored in Windows 10 following this guide in the Microsoft knowledge base: dell.to/3ebVnTx If you need further help, please reach out to our support staff on the Dell Community at dell.to/3C9PTRl Thank you.

[@DellEnterpriseSupport]

Hello M Wayne, thank you for your feedback, I will forward this to the video creator. In the meantime, please check this Knowledge Base article for a written version of the guide: dell.to/3twG4fr You can also activate subtitles on this video by clicking the CC icon on the video player. If you need further help, please contact the Dell Support at dell.to/3LTltIT Thank you.

[@mwa1252]

@@DellEnterpriseSupport Yes... Obviously I can "activate subtitles..." That is not the point. I shouldn't have to. This is something that irritates me about many instructional youtube videos. For some reason, people feel the need to have loud music playing in the bakground while they are attempting to explain a procedure, which is most likely of a subject unfamiliar to the viewer. It's like "I'm going to explain to you how to do this, but I will play music over my instructions to make it more difficult for you to understand."

[@DellEnterpriseSupport]

Hi@@mwa1252 , sorry that I was not clear enough on my reply. I understand your issue and was trying to help you find an alternative solution that may help you immediately. In the meantime I forwarded your feedback to the video creator and we will make sure, that audio levels will be better in future videos. Again, sorry for that. Thank you.

What to do if the system cant find the Regback?

[@RamRam-ed3md]

Up

[@DellEnterpriseSupport]

Hi Ram Monzon, on some systems, the regback feature is deactivated by default, you can find more information on this in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: dell.to/3J45mrj If that is the case on your system, you may need to reinstall the OS. You could also contact the Dell Support directly for further help. You can see the contact information here: dell.to/3XGpu6S If possible, try to run the system diagnostics first, as described here: For PowerEdge Server: dell.to/3XNNLYz For Client Systems: dell.to/3wqjaVv Thank you.

Hi @quagsy, in that case regback seems to be no option for you. If that is the case on your system, you may need to reinstall the OS.

[@DellEnterpriseSupport]

Hi @rizkyhidayat6494, please check if you are on the correct drive and check if you got the correct permissions set to access this folder. Maybe this thread in the Microsoft Forums can help you solve this: dell.to/3IS7Ck9 If you need further help, please contact the Dell Support at dell.to/3xg8z3b Thank you

[@nickwalco]

When I reached mkdir configbak it says media is write protected

[@DellEnterpriseSupport]

Hello nickwalco, it seems like the folder is set to "readonly" and this is preventing you from creating a new folder in it. You could change the readonly status using the "attrib" command. You can find more information here: dell.to/3M4g7KW The system32 folder holds important files for your Windows installation to run, so changing any of those may prevent the installation from working. If you need further help, please contact the Dell Support directly at dell.to/46LiyKN if you are not using a Dell Server or PC, please reach out to Microsoft for help on your Windows Operating System here: dell.to/3Qgi4X5 Thank you.
